Florentina Holzinger's boundary-pushing performance practice joins Thaddaeus Ropac ahead of her Austrian Pavilion project "Seaworld Venice" at the Venice Biennale.
His works range from painting, in which he trained, to myriad sculptural forms, performances and installations and video. With this interdisciplinary practice, he deliberately confronts orthodoxies in the art world and art history, questioning biases regarding taste, value and legitimacy, confronting and subverting stereotypes of Indigenous people and culture, and proposing a radical interaction with the objects and spaces he creates.
