Martin Krenn
Was born 1970 in Vienna and studied at the University of Applied Arts and the University of Music (Electronic Music) in Vienna. From 2002 to 2006 he taught at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna. Since 2006 he is teaching at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Krenn examines and discusses in his work sociopolitical topics. He uses different media such as photography, video and internet to develop projects that are displayed in exhibitions, on the web and in public space. His key area of interest lies in the strained relationships between art and society. How does art intervene with societal processes? How through art can one question the balance of power and bring forth new experiences? What importance does society attach to actual art?
