Elke Krystufek

Elke Silvia Krystufek (born 1970) is an Austrian conceptual artist who lives and works in Berlin, Germany, and Vienna, Austria.

Her work is informed by a history of Austrian artists – from Egon Schiele to the Vienna Actionists and Valie Export – who have explicitly explored sexuality in art.

With the exhibition “Liquid Logic”, then direction of Peter Noever gave Krystufek access to all storages of the Museum of Applied Arts in Vienna and the MAK.

[5] In this show she dealt with the art-historical phenomenon of a nude male model painted by a heterosexual woman and the last film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau Tabu.

Since her solo exhibition at Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, the gallery gives access to part of the Elke Krystufek Archive on the subject of immigration.
