Michael Kienzer
Although Michael Kienzer works mainly with sculpture using different materials such as aluminum, textiles, rubber and glass, his artistic practice also encompasses drawings and videos. Installations in public space refer to architecture and to the context of society while objects made for exhibitions question the parameters of sculpture. The function and meaning of things and mundane objects are inflated or turned into their opposite. The relationship of things and materials correlate and become the subject of his work.
Michael Kienzer (born 1962 in Steyr, Austria) lives and works in Vienna, Austria. Kienzer studied at the Kunstgewerbeschule in Graz, Austria with Josef Pillhofer. He is a teaching as a visiting Professor at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Recent solo shows includeNeue Immobilien, Musuem of Applied Art, Vienna; Out side 2, Museum of Modern Art, Vienna; Solo, Kunsthaus, Graz, and Verstreute Fromen, Landesmuseum, Linz, Austria. Group exhibitions include Linea, Kunsthaus Zug, Switzerland; Anti/Form, Kunsthaus Graz; Prozess und Expansion, Museum of Modern Art, Vienna; Future Systems/Rare Momente, Lentos Museum, Linz; Days of Hope, Frame Program, 2001 Venice Biennale, Venice, Italy and As the matter stands, Patricia Faure Gallery, Los Angeles, CA.

Patricia Dauder
The will to see and to represent beyond the immediate surrounding visible and object world is the urge that conducts Patricia Dauder’s work. She captures and visualizes what is extremely difficult to retain: time, a fleeting moment, an ephemeral trajectory, an idea, something with no form, a remote place. Her work is essentially visual, a common feature to all the media she uses, whether they are three-dimensional objects, drawings, photos, films, or collected images. Their interpretation does not come through a narrative or textual source but solely through observation, which gives way to multiple associations and subtle meanings. Biomorphic traces, elliptically shaped images, gridded linear constructions, references to natural elements mix with allusions to cinematography, experienced as a tool for the observation and for the sequencing of space and time.
Patricia Dauder (born 1973, Barcelona, Spain) studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Spain. Recent exhibitions include Lugares Comprometidos: Topografía y Actualidad, Fundación ICO, Madrid, Spain; Los Tiempos de un Lugar, CDAN, Centro de Arte y Naturaleza, Huesca, Spain; Horitzontal/Orbital, Fundació Suñol, Barcelona; Teahupoo, ProjecteSD Gallery, Barcelona; There is No(w) Romanticism, Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire, Brussels, Belgium; Eté 2009, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris, France; Patricia Dauder and Dani Gal, Galerie Kadel Willborn, Kalsruhe, Germany and 1979: a monument to radical moments; La Virreina, Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona.
