“What interests me about a new concept of genre is how it can create a difference to the old politics of identity. It offers the freedom to look at things more differently, which becomes again interesting in a political and aesthetic prospect. Things become a little strange if their relative autonomy is enforced.”
Peter Friedl
…Peter Friedl is one of the few Austrians who has a conceptual rigorousness and artistic ability to follow and drive forth this development within art at an elevated level of complexity at an international level…
