DAVID SCHOERNER (born 1984) is an American artist living and working in New York City. He received his BFA at Montserrat College of Art. Schoerner has had solo exhibitions in Los Angeles and Oslo and has been included in group exhibitions in New York, Los Angeles, Miami and Hong Kong.

Primarily working with photography and works-on-paper Schoerner employs a personal narrative to re-organize our pre-conceived notions of his familiar-feeling subject matter. He assembles seemingly disparate images into a new geography where time has expanded and memory is reconfigured.

Schoerner's work also investigates the classical genres of photography, re-photographed imagery and text works. This can be seen as a continuation of the Conceptual art of the 60s and 70s, the Pictures Generation of the 80s and the topographical photography of the 90s, however he offers a more emotional, personal inquiry into what photography can be.

In 2007 Schoerner founded Hassla Books where he publishes and edits artists books with emerging and established artists.
