Franz Wassermann

*1963 lives and works in Vienna

He deals with power structures in our society and examines the interplay between power and powerlessness to which both the individual and the collective are exposed. His actions and installations deal with taboo topics such as sexual abuse of children (SCARS), National Socialism and culture of remembrance (TEMPORARY MONUMENT), AIDS and stigma (BARBIE + KEN = HIV +), migration (SCHUBHAFT), authority and symbolic capital in the cultural sector (ALBERTINA Museum , ICONS) and the power of the media / images (CARRIER).

Discover our Collection

Discover the almost 1,200 works in our constantly growing collection in our online database. In the future, the collection will be expanded primarily through the purchases of current contemporary art associated with the art prizes. However, the jury will also recommend annual purchases to the Board of Directors to supplement the existing holdings of recent Tyrolean art history.
