Shtatëmbëdhjetë(17) thanks to the cooperation with the Regional Government of Styria for artists and theorists within the Styria-Artists-in-Residence program, in addition to the exchange program presents the artist in residence for 2023, Maria Kanzler.
Maria Kanzler (she/her), is a multidisciplinary designer and artist. With a background in Visual and Social Design, her work is process-oriented and situated at the intersection of text and writing, drawing and image, sound and video, preferably in social situations and public spaces. She is particularly interested in the imperfect and the misunderstood, which require untangling and reknitting. Maria enjoys exploration. In this realm, the allure lies in the unpredictability of discoveries that one might unearth, layer by layer. Born 1992 in the Styrian Salzkammergut, she is living and working in Vienna.
