Introducing: Claudia Holzinger
Claudia Holzinger is a visual artist whose work focuses on photography, installation, and performative self-staging. Her art explores issues of body politics, gender roles, and societal expectations. In meticulously staged studio settings, she creates visual narratives that use costumes or body paint to subvert stereotypical representations and open up new, unfamiliar visual worlds.
She studied graphic design and photography at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg. During her studies, she was part of the class led by Jürgen Teller, one of the most influential figures in contemporary photography. Elements of Teller’s radically direct visual language are evident in Holzinger’s work—though always in service of her own conceptually driven image strategies.
At ato, the artist is represented by Norina Quinte.
Crisp's latest release
Until recently, a bronze sculpture of the Venus Medici, likely from the late 18th century, stood in a Berlin government building. Its removal—officially in the name of gender equality—has sparked outrage in some quarters, with cries of “woke madness” and accusations of cultural censorship. But Jennifer Braun suspects something entirely different is at play here...
This week, Berlin-based painter Charlie Stein opens her new show Paraworlds at Kunstverein Schorndorf—eerily close to where she grew up. For Crisp, she reflects on what it feels like to return to her hometown with a solo show—and a bang.
Berlin famously considers itself the center of the universe, so it’s only logical that the art scene in the German capital assumes it’s always setting the tone. Which tones rang out the loudest at this year’s Gallery Weekend has been captured for us by Laura Ewert.

Exhibitions by artists from the ato network
ato's art network consists of a large number of artists and art agents. They are regularly invited to exhibitions or organise their own artistic interventions and public exhibition formats. We present the current events from our network in our calendar. We cordially invite you to drop by!
As many people come from Karlsruhe or Berlin, a current exhibition can often be discovered in both cities. But of course also in other places.
Karlsruhe and Berlin have very different art scenes, which we are happy to inform you about. If you are interested, you can find more information here:
