This Thursday evening artist and activist Martin Krenn will present his work that ranges from co-operative, socially committed and participatory projects to politically symbolic, provocative actions. Based in Vienna, Austria, Krenn is an artist, curator, filmmaker, and activist whose work focuses on strategies and methods of resistance to the governing relations of power. He uses different media such as photography, video and the internet to develop projects that are realized in exhibitions, the web and in public space. His talk will give insights in his newer projects where an extended concept of art, subversive techniques and testing the so-called 'freedom of art' are deployed mostly strategically.

Krenn is the Chair of the Austrian Artists Association - IG Bildende Kunst and since 2006 has taught Interventionist Art at the Department of Art and Communicative Practice/University of Applied Arts in Vienna. Current projects include "In between the movements - an ongoing video project about global justice movements", "Normality in [the] Crisis", "Democracy and Welfare for All" and "On the Tectonics of History" which can be seen in the ISCP-New York in Brooklyn till June 28.
