Steph
Morris was born in Sheffield and lives in Berlin. A graduate
of London art school Goldsmith's College, he has translated many catalogue
texts, most recently on the artists Michael Wesely and Pedro Cabrita
Reis, and for organisations such as European Art Projects (Megastructure
Reloaded), the Kunstmuseum St Gallen, Art Forum Berlin,
Kunsthalle Hamburg, the Berliner Oper and Theater Anu.
In 2006 he translated texts by Martin Mosebach and Angela Krauß
for the Goethe Institute's Akshar project, and collaborated on
Olga & Trotsky, an exhibition in which a short story by Katja Hofmann
was translated into eleven languages and eleven wood-cut illustrations.
In 2008 he translated Norbert Servos' monograph on Pina Bausch, receiving
a grant from the Kunststiftung Nordrhein-Westfalen to stay at
the Europäisches Übersetzer-Kolloquium in Straelen.
He has continued to translate for the Tanztheater Wuppertal after
Bausch's death. In 2009 he was invited to translate poems by Norbert
Lange for Shampoo 35. He is currently writing a novel.
