Impossibility: This draft describes Krebber as a painter. I infer from this that Krebber paints, or anyway has painted. And even if Krebber had never painted, I know that other people have painted, and therefore that painting is possible. Yet this draft goes on about "exploring the concept of the 'impossibility of painting'", "exploring the impossibility of painting", "Krebber's exploration of the impossibility of painting". I'm tempted to suggest that somebody should tip off Krebber that he's seriously misguided. But of course it's not that simple. Krebber may have in mind the impossibility not of painting in general, but rather of using paint to depict this or that. And of course there could be other, quite different interpretations. So what is it? An encyclopedia article should explain, comprehensibly. But this fails to do so, and the first reference for impossibility I clicked on was this, which merely quotes Krebber (speaking obscurely) and therefore doesn't count as a reliable source.
Influence: "[Krebber's] early artistic career was influenced by the avant-garde art scene in Germany"; "Michael Krebber's work has influenced contemporary painting, particularly within the context of postmodernism and conceptual art". What were or are the influences?
Exhibitions: The "selected group exhibitions" could and probably should be a lot more selective, and every exhibition that's listed should be referenced.
Public collections: Every one of these should be referenced.
