Eva Grubinger
Eva Grubinger (born 1970 in Salzburg) is an Austrian sculptor and installation artist. Life Between 1989–95 Grubinger studied at the Hochschule der Künste Berlin where she worked with Valie Export and Katharina Sieverding. Her graduation project, ''C@C, or Computer Aided Curating'' (1993–95), provided a branching interface for visitors to explore a social network of artists. While Grubinger began her career with works that reflected and commented, in a pioneering manner, on the early development of the Internet, since the mid-1990s she has worked primarily in sculpture and installation. These phases are not, however, disconnected: her latter-day focus on materiality and space, not least social space and how it subliminally affects us, might be seen as a reaction to the immateriality of the online world. Grubinger’s method is primarily to focus on, and unsettle via various strategies, recognizable objects. Her scope in this regard is wide: she draws inspiration and icono ...
