Sabine Kienzer

Sabine Kienzer is a Vienna-based curator, journalist, and cultural manager. She is a trained radio journalist and holds a Master of Advanced Studies (MAS) in Cultural Management as well as in Women’s Studies. Her main interest lies in the field of visual arts, with a particular focus on mediation. This forms the basis upon which she plans and executes her projects. These projects seek to question the impact of culture on society by constantly redefining culture as a concept that is composed of societal values, beliefs, and norms. Sabine Kienzer curates the exhibition series art & function – which has featured in such locations as the Kunsthalle München, kunsthaus muerz, Hofburg Wien, and Leopold Museum (in the course of art Austria) – and also curated the exhibition “Faking the Real” at Kunsthaus Graz. Her current projects include exhibitions addressing art and language, art and function, and a number of similar topics. She moderates artist’s talks, delivers keynote addresses, and writes texts for catalogs and art magazines. Her workshop series “Assoziatives Verorten” took place at the University of Kassel, the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and is now hosted at the Alanus University of Arts and Society in Bonn. interventa Hallstatt 2024: Sabine Kienzer is curator of interventa Hallstatt 2024 together with Marie-Therese Harnoncourt-Fuchs.
