Hans Schabus Edition / art prints

Hans Schabus
1970, born in Watschig (Austria)
Lives and works in Vienna (Austria)

Hans Schabus’ works are directly related to spatial thinking and experience and understanding of socio-political infrastructures and its impact on the lived environment. He explores formal diversity within an artist’s practice and his work originates from a desire to connect different sites and temporalities. This is a key element in the artist’s research, and characterizes his work in the studio as well as the residencies and the exhibitions he participates in. The approach Schabus’ takes with each project, makes the artist into a sculptor in the classic sense of the word. He selects, assembles, and creates through an experience of space, understood both in its physical and mental dimensions. His works are a response to the surrounding environment and the materials that form it, and result from a direct and very personal experience of these contexts.  

Hans Schabus studied sculpture with Bruno Gironcoli at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna from 1991 to 1996. Since 2012, he has been teaching at the University of Applied Arts, where he heads the Department of Sculpture and Space. Hans Schabus has been showing his work in a national and international context since 1992. His works were exhibited at the Colombo Art Biennale 2012, the 6th Berlin Biennale 2010, at the Biennale of Sydney 2008 and Manifesta 4 in Frankfurt am Main 2002.
