Using installation, sculpture, drawing and pedagogical interventions, Camnitzer's work focuses on questions surrounding childhood, subject formation, and socialization. [4] [5] [6] [7] Camnitzer has said that his interest in early childhood is in parted inspired by his experience with middle ear effusion as a small child, which led to significant hearing loss and language-learning difficulties in his early life. [2] [8]
Having worked as an elementary school teacher, Camnitzer often draws on collaborative and anti-hierarchical forms of education to engage groups in explorations of experimental knowledge forms. [9] In 2016 Camnitzer initiated the artistic research project titled, Meaning Machine, at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm, focusing on the performativity of children. [10] [3] The project was supervised by the educational researcher Liselott Mariette Olsson. [3]

[15]
Camnitzer attended the Whitney Museum's Independent Study Program and Valand Academy, Gothenburg University, Sweden, where he studied with Esther Shalev-Gerz. After graduating from Valand Academy, Camnitzer worked as an assistant to the Brazilian artist, Cildo Meireles. [2]

Camnitzer was the frontman of the Gothenburg-based band, Gabo and the Wartels. [46] [47] As Oma 333 label head and Stockholm based concert promoter, Gavin Maycroft describes it: “Gabo and the Wartels started in May 2007 when Gabo Camnitzer, an artist and musician came across a family playing marching band music on the side of the street in Gothenburg. The family band was made up of a girl, Georgia (b.1995), playing bass drum, her father, Jonny Wartel (b.1959), playing sax, and her cousin, Andreas (b.1984), playing snare. Gabo approached the Wartels and proposed a collaboration. The band was formed in the basement of the Valand Academy two days later and the week after that they were on stage supporting Deerhoof.” [48]
The group went on to record several EPs and an album, touring the US and Scandinavia. [49] [2] They released In a Very Small Boat, on the label Oma 333 in 2013.
