In the framework of our series of talks with cultural workers from Vienna, we are aiming at making knowledge on the Viennese cultural sector accessible to the selected artists of the QMA Artist Collective. We want to explore, how programs are created, what access points there are for artists and how inclusive they are.

For this event we are meeting with Zhanina Marinova, an alumna of the QMA Artist Collective program. She will be presenting her work and the screenprinting studio Viadukt, where a lot of her work is created. You’ll get to know what the possibilites are when working at this screenprinting studio and get valuable knowledge from Zhanina.

Born in 1994 in Varna, Bulgaria, Zhanina Marinova studied Graphics and Printmaking at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna Austria where she currently lives and works as a Visual artist and printmaker.
By rendering imagination as a sort of materialized fiction, which for her is strongly connected with the idea of the relation between presence and absence, Marinova invents her own reality and explores the deep constellations of perception, thoughts, feelings and memories. Working primarily
in the field of screen printing, drawing, installation and book arts, Marinova uses such diverse materials as fabrics, paper, transparent foils and wood as canvases for her screen prints. With such an array of surfaces, the only constant is the large scale.
