Lena Michalik
I am an artist and researcher living in Vienna,
born by the sea, raised in the mountains and tempered by metropolitan cities.
In my work I merge my backgrounds architecture, crafting and performance into a new practice with which I deconstruct and explore material and immaterial spaces aiming to examine their social and ecological potentials. I focus on listening and sensing and utilize a range of media to encourage imagination and new perspectives.

Steiermark Schau
Universalmuseum Joanneum
Steiermark Schau 23 unfolds its theme over Styria's rich biodiversity, emphasizing the diverse tapestry that defines Styria as a habitat. The project unveils the intricacies of our ecosystems, shedding light on the myriad creatures that coexist alongside us and upon whom we depend. Through a whimsical journey across the Herberstein Castle grounds, the project takes a playful approach to convey the paramount importance of nature conservation, spotlighting the efforts of key contributors in this vital field.
It was a joy to meet this artistic exploration, wielding a pen as a tool to capture the essence of fauna, flora, fungi, bacteria, and a myriad of other creatures. Join us in celebrating the interconnected web of life, as we showcase the beauty of Styria's diverse habitats and underscore the collective responsibility we bear in preserving the delicate balance of nature.
