Magdalena Kreinecker works as a visual artist in Vienna. She studied Fine Arts, Graphics and Printmaking at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and at AKI ArtEZ in the Netherlands.
She is particularly interested in printmaking as a form in which her work follows an algorithmic logic of transformation. She moves between analog and digital processes in a technical sanctuary, creating and negotiating subtle and detailed interstices and contradictions. Whether etched in copper, scraped out of wood or linoleum, or woven into paper, the process itself is tactile and material-based. The unexpected material properties are explored in terms of their origin, meaning, and symbolic tradition, and are then associatively interwoven with found, drawn, and manipulated image material. Image-making in a time when ‘images’ are disseminated, moved, or processed with greater speed and intensity than ever revolves around the realms of speculation and opacity.
Through this blurred lens, she creates associative spatial installations and predominantly analog, large- and small-format prints derived from digital sources. Essentially, concepts such as time, resource distribution, protection, probability, memory, and the very nature of the image are the subject of her analysis: Like in print, Kreineckers interest in the spatial dimension of her work is driven by profound curiosity and a desire to connect seemingly unnatural elements in unexpected ways. The technical aspect of her work is an inevitable substance of her artistic practice. She often sees herself as a mechanic who layers and arranges copies by endlessly repeating and transforming the same thing over and over again.
Since June 2020, she has been working together with Anna Kreinecker on kreineckers, a project in which they produce wearable objects as original graphic and limited editions.
Since October 2022 Magdalena has been teaching several courses in the field of Print and Publishing (Screen Print, Intaglio) at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna.
Since July 2023 she curates the Artist-run-space “1zwei3” in Vienna together with Theresa Hattinger and Amelie Bachfischer.
