Matta Wagnest, Artist

Matta Wagnest is an artist who has her starting point in Graz. Wagnest works interdisciplinarily with almost all materials and her work is represented worldwide.

In addition to numerous international exhibitions, including the Architecture Biennale in Venice and the Istanbul Biennale, she has repeatedly collaborated with Styrian art and cultural institutions such as steirischer herbst, Grazer Kunstverein and Forum Stadtpark. “Significant changes in my work have always taken place in Graz,” says Matta Wagnest.
