In terms of themes being addressed in Vienna Art Week’s programming, I am particularly interested in connectivity and productivity — what these terms mean beyond the impact of the current situation, and alternative ways for thinking about what they could mean: what ‘being productive’ or ‘staying connected’ could potentially look like.

What is your personal approach to writing about art?

I would say my approach has changed over the years. My background is in art history, so I started out with a very academic approach. But this can be quite limiting — there can’t be just one absolute narrative or perspective, as the ‘authority’ of an academic approach often suggests. Since co-founding a magazine, textur, in 2018, I’ve been working through other approaches in my publishing routine — sometimes more personal, sometimes more experimental, poetic or fictional. Basically, I try to keep myself open, and even begin to think about art writing as artistic practice in itself. There are changes in the way art is produced, studied, exhibited, etc., and art writing should respond to that, as well.
