Peter Schulz

Peter Schulz (*1965 in Duisburg, Germany) studied law in the late 1980s at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität, München. Not satisfied with a purely academic career he followed his passion for the crafts and completed an apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker in Lower Bavaria (1993) and art history classes (1994, Handwerkskammer München). Several internships followed: Schloss Nymphenburg München (1994), Jeffrey Ackerman New York, NY(1994/1995) and Jonathan Burden, New York, NY (1995). From October 1995 until 2003 he worked as a restorer at the conservation studio Graeme Phillips Restoration in London, UK. Simultanously, he studied History of Art and Material Studies (HAMS) at University College London (UCL, BA 2003). From 2003 until 2008 he worked as a selfemployed restorer in London for clients like Christies, Sothebys, the Victoria&Albert Museum, James Graham-Stewart, Godson&Coles, Kentshire Galleries and The Household of HRH The Prince of Wales. Since 2008 he lives and works in Berlin.
As a qualified restorer he follows the ethics of conservation rather than renovation. In the team he is responsible for the conservation, restoration and reconstruction of period windows and stained glass. Beyond the restoration projects he enjoys the challenge of finding new ways to merge traditional techniques of the crafts with the innovative ideas of the world of modern art.

Daniel Wiesenfeld

Daniel Wiesenfeld (*1969 in Buffalo, NY) studied painting at the Akademie der Künste, München (Diploma 1993) and Queens College, NY (MFA 1996). Since 2000 he lives and works in Berlin. He is responsible for the design and color scheme of the images embedded in the stained glass windows. The process involves creating an original layout in gouache and pencil, then transferring the imagery onto the glass with glass paint. He is fascinated by the properties of glass, its luminosity and the intensity of colored light. This fascination is apparent in his more recent art projects, where he creates painting-objects that include different light sources with combinations of glass and oilpainting.
His work has been shown at the Haus der Kunst München, Jüdischen Museum Berlin, Supermarket Art Fair Stockholm, Galerie Huuto Helsinki, Klowden Mann Gallery Los Angeles, Roulette New York among others. He is the co-founder of the project space HilbertRaum in Berlin and the director of B - LA CONNECT, an exchange project between Berlin and Los Angeles based artists.
