20.00 Renate Kordon: SCREENING & ARTIST TALK
Renate Kordon SELFIE, Polaroid 1985
The Austrian media artist Renate Kordon talks about her artistic work and shows short films.
In her drawings and animated films, installations and sculptures, film rooms and art in public space, she leads dimensions ad absurdum, questions viewing habits and knows how to draw humorously critical lines.
Renate Kordon studied architecture and graphics in Graz and Vienna, did a master year with Maria Lassnig. Her artistic focus is on animation, drawing, installation, art in public space and film rooms. After several scholarship stays in Paris, Rome and Canada, she taught “City Scape Drawing” in Detroit and “Labor Animation” in Linz.
