ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Anita Fuchs
Anita Fuchs’ projects (as well as in the collaboration in the artist duo RESANITA) begin with an actionist approach: road trips to transfer plants, transporting entire trees from a research station, or cultivating a field with historical seeds. These actions are linked with contemporary topics in society like climate change, terror, migration, history, global economy, and politics. Her conceptual working method is also imbued with scientific, research-based pursuits and sometimes involves longstanding exchanges with international institutions. Nature is a prevalent theme.
Anita Fuchs currently lives and works in Graz, Austria.
