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.
Liese Schmidt and Maria Vittoria Maiello have visited the exhibition Shadow Images by Romanian painter Adrian Ghenie at the Albertina in Vienna. The two authors reflect on what Ghenie's adaptations of lost works by Egon Schiele tell us about the present day and whether we need to listen to this interpretation.
Alicja Schindler briefly disappeared and got lost — in the trendy world of ceramics. Why everything right now seems to revolve around the potter’s wheel, what making ceramics has to do with care work, and whether the material is actually magical — she set out to find answers to all of that for us. And she didn’t even take a pottery class.
