(*1959) studied fine arts from 1980 to 1985 in Frankfurt/Main, New York and Berlin. He lives and works in Frankfurt.

His neo-conceptual work is based on a strong interest in artistic strategies. His practice is cross-media and ranges from sculpture to photography, film, painting, drawing or text. Cooperative strategies play an essential role here: Collaborations with scientists and research institutes, with technicians, artists, lawyers, companies and specialists of all kinds on the basis of a constantly growing, international network. Hendricks’ practice explores the social and economical codes and boundaries that we live by, as well as questioning received ideas surrounding beauty and value. His longterm projects often involve investigative processes more normally associated with scientific enquiry, questioning the boundaries of legality and using materials that raise complex moral and ethical issues. His works also raise questions about the value and meaning of labour, as well as notions of truth and imagination.
