There are also pragmatic answers to the beautiful question of what art is (apart from
the incommensurable that is attributed to it in the so-called "autonomous work of art"): How does a person "get into" the
art world, what inspirations and schemes of recognition exist for (or against) artists and what role can a university education
play in this? The writer Teresa Präauer and Franz Schuh, essayist and lecturer at the Angewandte, will discuss their experiences
and views, with the main focus on the literary industry, a paradigmatic department of the art world. The talk will be held
in German.
Teresa Präauer was born in 1979 and studied German
language and literature and fine arts. Wallstein Verlag has published the novels "Für
den Herrscher aus Übersee", "Johnny
und Jean" and "Oh Schimmi" as well as the large-scale essay "Tier werden", the storybook "Das Glück ist eine Bohne" and the
short story collection "Mädchen", the theoretical basis of which is formed by Präauer's Zurich Poetry Lectures held
at
the end of 2021. She has been honoured with the aspekte Literature Prize (2012), the Erich Fried Prize (2017), the Ben Witter
Prize (2022)
and the Bremen Literature Prize (2024), among others. Teresa Präauer lives in Vienna.
