Harley Swedler height - How tall is Harley Swedler?

Harley Swedler was invited to present a curated selection of his videos at Palais de Tokyo in Paris in 2019. During the DO DISTURB festival he simultaneously situated himself at the entrance to the museum, where he 'kissed' all arriving visitors in a large 'XO' installation (this performance work was based on an episode of The Partridge Family). Swedler's large scale work Personalasweiss was commissioned by The Jewish Museum Berlin for the exhibition Haut Ab. The installation featured three life-sized images of the artist laid bare with geo-political fig leaves - a reference to the ritual of circumcision in the three monotheistic religions. His extensive video project Dirty Movies is a collection of one hundred music videos, inspired by invincibility of youth in the face of vulnerability in aging. The videos have been exhibited in international venues and have been collected by private art enthusiasts. Swedler has served as the Director of Communications and External Affairs at the interdisciplinary design studio of Diller Scofidio + Renfro, where he worked on projects including the renovation and expansion of The Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), and The Shed in New York.

While volunteering his time as an architect for the Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV) in Rwanda, Swedler wrote a blog detailing his experiences in East Africa. In the course of writing a book about breast cancer, he became actively involved with Susan G. Komen for the Cure (SGK), a breast cancer advocacy and outreach organization partnered with the Joint Distribution Committee project in Rwanda. In 2008 Swedler was honored as the Susan G. Komen 'Co-Survivor' for his literary efforts in putting out a male perspective on the effects of breast cancer on women and their families.
