life and work

Carola Dertnig spent part of her childhood in Seefeld in Tyrol and later moved to Vienna , where her mother ran an artist's bar. She studied from 1986 to 1991 at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and in 1990 at the École des Beaux Arts in Paris . After graduating in 1992, she lived temporarily in New York and took part in the Independent Study Program of the Whitney Museum of American Art in 1997/98 . Afterwards she taught performance art in the conceptual art department of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna until 2004 . From 2005 to 2006 she was visiting professor at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and since 2006 has headed the Performative Arts department at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. In 2008 she was visiting professor at the California Institute of the Arts . She researched the history of performance in Vienna (exhibitions in the Kunsthalle Exnergasse at WUK in 2002 and in the MUMOK in 2003, publication: Let's twist again , 2006) and the relationship between art and art research.

The focus of her works is the performance, whereby the levels of texts, images, live actions and videos are intertwined and “what is ostensibly known is confronted with neglected backsides and counter-designs”. She is usually an actor herself in her videos, in which everyday situations are exaggerated into the absurd. The central aspects of her work include “critical feminist perspectives and an explicit interest in the politicization of gender ”. “Communication that affects topics such as identity, the self and its position in society, gender issues or their clichés” is formative. These "complex topics are not verbally pilloried, but [...] with artistic means and often with a disarming wink".

From May 2001, as part of the World Views program funded by the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council , she and other artists had a studio on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center , which was destroyed in the terrorist attacks on September 11th . She had kept the works … but buildings can'talk… ( watercolors ) and a room with a view in the financial district (video), in which she discussed the history and use of the Twin Towers , in her private apartment, so that they could be shown in the exhibition of the program in December 2001.

With her fictional character Lora Sana , a “Viennese actionist who has been displaced for over three decades ”, she recalls the hidden importance of female performers and artists in the context of Viennese actionism and focuses in particular on the role of female “ models ”, with which “the image of women in and of the art-historical discourse on Viennese actionism ”is critically questioned.

In the Seefeld trilogy (2006) she deals with “those processes that are set in motion by tourism and that are crossed by contradicting collective and private utopias”. Love Age focuses on the contrast between private dreams and the task of the private in favor of holiday guests, Playcastle the utopia and the failure of an artificially created pleasure and consumer world and Haus Jenewein the destruction of a villa designed by the architect Siegfried Mazagg in the style of modernism for an apartment house built in the Tyrolean hut style.

When she was invited by the City of Vienna in 2011 to set up a temporary memorial for the homosexual victims and persecuted persons of the Nazi regime on Morzinplatz , she planted a flower bed with the words " TOO LATE" in the direction of the former Gestapo control center in the Hotel Metropol .

In 2012 she was the first participant in the Teddy Kollek Scholar / Artist in Residence program in Jerusalem .

She acted as a juror for the Art Critics Award and the Vienna International Photo Awards and is Vice President of the Vienna Secession . In 2008 she was the first winner of the Teresa Bulgarini Prize for Contemporary Art, and in 2013 she was the first female performance artist to be awarded the Austrian Art Prize for Fine Arts .
