Jürgen Münzer

An Austrian artist specializing in sculpture, spatial installations, and performances. 

Jürgen studied architecture at Graz University of Technology and later worked in architectural firms in Austria and Spain. He also completed his studies in transdisciplinary art at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna and has since participated in numerous exhibition projects, art interventions, and performances in public spaces in Austria, Germany, Switzerland, Denmark, the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Lebanon.

In 2025, together with Ukrainian artist Daria Litvinenko, he was invited to Jam Factory (Lviv) with a transdisciplinary exhibition and performance project.

At the Lviv Quadrennial of Scenography 2025, Jürgen will present the installation The Narrow Edge. The Quadrennial program also includes an author's presentation of the installation and a public conversation with the artist. 

This is made possible thanks to the support of the Austrian Cooperation Office in Lviv, Land Kärnten and Ukraine Office Austria.

In his projects, Münzer combines research, personal everyday experiences, and literary fragments into multi-layered narratives about power, loss, and resistance. He transforms materials such as scrap metal, found objects, or natural elements into sculptural forms that reference historical construction techniques and the symbolism of social struggles. His works create space for critical reflection, shared memories, and collective imagination. The artist often works at the intersection of visual and performative arts.

Collective memories, displaced narratives, and questions about how history is told or silenced occupy a central place in the artist's work. Criticism of capitalist and ideological structures, postcolonial perspectives, and the transformation of public spaces are recurring themes in his work. For Münzer, art is a tool for solidarity and transformative action.
