Ulrike Lienbacher

Ulrike Lienbacher (born 1963 in Oberndorf bei Salzburg) is an Austrian artist.

[3] Lienbacher studied sculpture at the Mozarteum University in Salzburg from 1981 to 1987[4] and has been active as an artist since the late 1980s.

[7] She works in the media of drawing, sculpture and photography and adopts a specific, discrete approach for each: generally speaking, it is the difference between the media that Lienbacher is interested in.

[8] In her art she deals with the human body,[9] especially under the aspects of optimization, standardisation, supervision and performance.

[10] She explores the dependency system of social norms and regulations as well as notions of discipline and control: it depicts the human body within ‘a culture of hygiene and health’,[11] as a "bearer of socio-cultural history into which the social value system is inscribed".
