ABOUT MY WORK

Dunja Krcek is a visual artist, based in Vienna.
She mainly works with painting, textiles, site specific installations, and sometimes making books. I
n her work she visually researches the concepts of atmosphere, relational space and the felt sense.

She understands her textile installations as a correspondence with a specific location and the experiential transformation of a site.
Working with textiles gives her the opportunity to develop ideas she finds in the paintings into a more large scale environment,
a direct interaction with space.
With these installations she also wants to initiate participative spaces
to connect with the surroundings, and with oneself.

With all her work she aims to define intimate spaces, which invite curiosity and imagination to thrive.
Preparing this framework guides her concentration to places within the work that incite both excitement and calm.
These are places that allow her to be still and have the opportunity to listen,
while also instilling an eagerness to take action.
Her relationship to the work changes many times. She has to disengage from it in order to expose herself to it.
It is only within this dialogue of vulnerability that the work reveals new paths and narrations.
