curriculum vitae
Matthias Meinharter (born 1971 in Vienna, since 2003
freelance artist with an atelier in Vienna) works since more then 10 years
in different art-projects (f.ex: “the vegetable orchestra” and “the institute
of transacoustic research”). He is also doing exhibitions and conceptual
studies.
The heterogenic background (industrial design, performance, anthropology
and art) is influencing the results of his project-oriented art positively.
Installations, mechanical objects, sound generating machines, photos and
videos, paintings and drawings, acoustics and performances are fixed elements
of his work.
