1984 * in Leoben, 2003 – 2010 studied at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna and École des Beaux Arts Montpellier, France. She teaches at the University of Art and Design Linz and has been a member of the Lower Austrian Committee for Art in Public Space since 2019.
Marlene Hausegger infiltrates public space in a very subtle way.
Her interventions always refer to existing structures that lie outside our everyday perception and are characterized by a dissecting, revealing gaze that brings these repressed places back into our consciousness. Contexts of meaning, in general taken for granted, are shaken by this form of interventionism. Her manifestations in public space have a temporary character, are anti-monumental in their gesture and disappear over time like ephemeral traces. It is only through documentation via the medium of photography that they are given the duration they deserve.
