CV « Julian Palacz

Julian Palacz, born in 1983, lives and works in Vienna. His work is dedicated to the visualization and poetic processing of data that we leave behind digitally, as well as physically, and that is automatically collected by various actors. Studies in Digital Art 2003-2010 at the University of Applied Arts Vienna under Tom Fürstner, Peter Weibel and Virgil Widrich.

The solo exhibition Handle with Care at Forum Stadtpark (2021) and Les murs ont des oreilles at Sotheby's Vienna (2019) mark caesuras in his work. His work has been shown at the Museum of Applied Arts/Vienna, the Museum of Contemporary Art/Belgrade, the ZKM | Center for Art and Media/Karlsruhe, and at Palazzo Zenobio/Venice. In addition, Julian Palacz received the Wimmelforschungs-Stipendium at Bosch Campus Renningen and Akademie Schloss Solitude, the Austrian State Scholarship for Video and Media Art and the Swatch Art Peace Hotel Residency Shanghai.
