Barbara Breitenfellner, *1969 in Austria. Master of Fine Art at the Glasgow School of Art. Her uncanny installations and collages derive from the observation that ‘rather than being overrun by images, reality in fact grows out of (oneiric) images – a reality full of holes, corners and recesses’ (Jens Emil Sennewald). Artist-in-Residence at the Atlantic Center for the Arts, Florida and at the Cité internationale des Arts, Paris. Exhibitions in Germany and abroad, a.o. Autocenter (Berlin), Bétonsalon (Paris), Bongout (Berlin), Transpalette (Bourges), Tramway (Glasgow). Works in public collections: Fonds national d'art contemporain (Paris),Collection of contemporary art of the City of Vienna and bm:ukk (Wien). Lives in Berlin. See www.barbarabreitenfellner.de.

As a member of the research group EA 182 at the Université Paris 3, he conducts research on theories of critique, on the interrelations between text and image, on visual space and on drawing. Together with his wife Andrea Weisbrod he runs the project space café au lit (http://cafeaulit.de). Numerous articles and recent publications can be found at http://weiswald.com.
