Tanja Kristan’s work was featured in the thought-provoking “Böse Kunst” (Evil Art) exhibition that was on display at the Showroom von Roter Keil in Graz, Austria. This group exhibition, which ran until June 3, 2023, explored the complex and often controversial concept of “evil” in art. What makes art inherently “evil” or morally challenging?

Drawing in the urban space with company. Since several years I am part of the urban sketching movement, first in Linz then in Vienna and now in Salzburg. Urban Sketchers are people that meet to get their inspiration from reality. Motives are people passing by, buildings, nature and stuff like that. I am managing the Urban Sketching Salzburg meetings right at the moment. You can find recent drawings from us… Weiterlesen »Urban Sketching
A collection of Stop Motion Shorts and Experiments. Playing with Movement, Post Production and Performance.
Sometimes, art takes on a journey of its own, quite literally in this case. This particular artwork embarked on an unexpected adventure with the ÖBB, entrusted to a friend traveling from Linz to Vienna. Unfortunately, it decided to stay on the train and was never seen again. While the original installation is now somewhere out there, possibly enjoying the scenic Austrian railways, I’m left with a handful of cyanotype prints and, fortunately, the ideas that inspired them.
