Marlene Haring
b. 1978, lives and works currently in
Vienna.
From 1999 to 2003 she was mainly working with Catrin Bolt in the
collaboration Halt+Boring.
The citation for the 2005 Birgit Jürgenssen Prize states:
'The deciding factor [in awarding the prize to Marlene Haring]
was that the young artist does not rely on any formalist approaches
in her work or limit herself to one medium, but rather employs
performance, happening, photography, video, etc., reflecting trends,
contents and strategies of today’s art world and in translating
these into her own works after endowing them with a new and subversive
dimension. [...She] has developed an independent position
evincing a great degree of attention for the rules of art and the
everyday world and an aesthetic competence focusing on the crucial
questions concerning the criteria for social closeness and distance,
body and mind, sex and gender.'
