An event
organised by TransArts - Transdisciplinary Art
As different as the media in which Shapiro Obermair works
are—painting, sculpture, graphics, but also video and photography her projects always take the same topics as a starting point
or eventually return to them. Based on biographical experiences, she questions critically appropriation of historical narratives,
dealing with post-factual knowledge, and interaction of form and ideology. The examination of modernism and abstraction shapes
her visual vocabulary and provides the theoretical basis. In the lecture, she will present selected works and projects.
