Dominic Eichler is an author, art writer, curator, and musician. After fleeing a small coastal country Australian town to study English Literature and Law at Monash University in Melbourne, he moved to Berlin. Since 1997, he has regularly contributed feature articles, editorials, essays and reviews to international art publications. Between 2007 and 2011 he was a contributing editor of frieze magazine. He has also written numerous catalogue essays for leading international art museums and institutions including: The Guggenheim Museum, MoMA, Kunstmuseum Basel, and Schirn Kunsthalle Frankfurt and many many others. Artists he has written about include: Danh Vo, Isa Genzken, Wolfgang Tillmans ('Abstract Pictures', Hatje Cantz, 2011), Wojciech Fangor, Collier Schorr and many others.

In 2005, has was awarded the German AdKV prize for art criticism. In the 2000s, he also curated exhibitions such as 'The Door Slamming Festival' at MD72 (2007) which will soon be the part of the major anthology ’MD72—Door Slamming Festival’ (edited Alexander Schröder with Marianna von Palombini and Dominic Eichler, Verlag der Buchhandlung Walther König, Summer 2025).

Alongside, his much-loved underground queer-indie-pop band Dominique released three albums: 'Speak To Me' (2002), 'The Same You' (2004) and 'More Love Now' (2008). Side music project Carbon Goblet also self-published the LP ‘The Basis of all Life’ (2018/20). Dominique the band recently reunited. In 2009, he published the poetry book 'Written All Over Us' (Sternberg Press), and participated in the Serpentine Gallery's 'Poetry Marathon'. In 2008, he co-founded (with Michel Ziegler) the Berlin independent art space Silberkuppe. Silberkuppe had a local grassroots program and also curated exhibitions in four major institutional shows including one at the Hayward Gallery, London. These early years of the space were documented in the catalogue 'Under One Umbrella' (2010, Kunsthall Bergen/Sternberg Press). The space then grew into a niche, commercial gallery which focused on radical and newly rediscovered artistic positions and operated to critical acclaim until mid-2017. In 2016, he co-edited (with Brigitte Oetker) the reader Jahresring 61: PS (Sternberg Press).

More recently he has written at length on the artists Kai Althoff, Karen Kilimnik, Nathanaëlle Herbelin, Sam Falls, Hans Josephsohn, Anton Corbijn, Sunah Choi, Thilo Heinzmann and Haegue Yang, amongst many others. In June 2023, he curated the group exhibition ‘Biographicality’ at Efremidis, Berlin. He is currently working on a volume of collected art writings ‘Changing the Subject (2000-2025)’, querying the manuscript of his debut historical LGBTQIA* novel set on the island of Capri ‘The Serpentine Path’, and now the beginnings of a second novel.

Dominique the band is working on a fourth studio album ‘Camping in the Wilderness’ ( scheduled for 2025) and playing live again.
