Barbara Schurz
Edit ProfileCareer
At Vienna University she pursued Slavic Studies and Women"s Studies. She began traveling around the world, living as an artist and author in Moscow and Berlin, in addition to Vienna. Schurz is best known for her books, co-written with Alexander Brener, that address the boundary between art and politics from an activist perspective.
Schurz accompanied Brener to the "Violence to Endurance: Extreme Curating" art lecture at the International Cooperation Administration to both protest and involve themselves in the lecture.
While there Brener defecated in front of the audience while Schurz threw peanuts at the lecturers.
