An event organised by TransArts
- Transdisciplinary ArtAnnja Krautgasser's filmic-performative works are firmly anchored in the context
of contemporary art and are also spatially located accordingly. In this sense, the works are always also part of a certain
discourse, a reception behaviour, a production process.
They are systems
that make Krautgasser's works coherent and comprehensible in retrospective and enable
critical reflection outside
their references. The references to certain (film) scenarios serve as initial inspiration, reinterpretation and recollection
at the same time. (Gerald Straub) Closely connected to Krautgasser's artistic
practice is her interest in cultural-political
agendas (former chairperson of the board of the Secession, Tyrolean Artists' Association, KlappeAuf). She is also a cooperation
partner of abo Verlag, graphic designer and exhibition designer.
