TransArts
- Transdisciplinary ArtMarkus Hiesleitner, born in 1981 in Amstetten, studied sculpture and performative
art with Monica Bonvicini at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
The exchange and cooperation
with artists and researchers from various disciplines is just as important for his artistic work as making art and culture
accessible and tangible for a broad public. Since 2005, he has been running the non-profit association "Kulturdrogerie", a
former drugstore in Vienna's 18th district, as an exhibition space.
In a world in which our social coexistence has
been shaped by the pandemic and war in recent years and will be put to the test more than ever by the global climate crisis,
Markus Hiesleitner's works are astonishingly topical and urgent. The supposed fragility of plant growth points to the actual
fragility of our global socio-economic community. PHILIP PATKOWITSCH / 2023
