    Schmiede Hallein is a ten-day media and arts festival in Austria, bringing together artists, designers, technologists and creatives from different fields.

            Böse Kunst in Graz

              Tanja Kristan’s work was featured in the thought-provoking “Böse Kunst” (Evil Art) exhibition that was on display at the Showroom von Roter Keil in Graz, Austria. This group exhibition, which ran until June 3, 2023, explored the complex and often controversial concept of “evil” in art. What makes art inherently “evil” or morally challenging? The exhibition was initiated by Accomplices – Verein zur Erkundung multimedialer Ausdrucksformen.
