Mark

My name is Marie, and I’m a multidisciplinary artist based in Vienna, Austria. My primary focus is sculpture, but my practice also integrates drawing, photography, film, performance, and other media—all rooted in a sculptural approach. With ︎︎︎Luvendr, my collaborative project together with the media artist Alexander Martinz, I extend my work into music. My practice and research investigate media transformations within sculptural processes, exploring how the shift between media can disrupt but thus enrich meaning. My work is part of collections such as Artothek of the Republic of Austria, University of Applied Art Vienna, EVN Collection, State Collections of Lower Austria and Vienna’s City collection MA7.

After training as a graphic designer, I studied fine arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and at Newcastle University. I work at the Institute of Art and Design at the Vienna University of Technology, where I connect my artistic research with education.
