Nadim Vardag

Nadim Vardag's oeuvre is characterized by very precise and substantive questions. In various media, such as sculpture, installation, drawing, printmaking, film, and photography, the artist negotiates the terms and conditions of art. In his exhibitions and works, he addresses the autonomy and functionality of the artwork in an institution-critical manner and includes the socio-economic component within art production.

Nadim Vardag (*1980 in Regensburg, lives and works in Vienna)
