Renate Lorenz is professor for art and research and co-directing the program PhD in Practice at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. She has worked in an artists’ duo with Pauline Boudry since 2007. They produce objects and installations that choreograph the tension between visibility and opacity. Their films are performance-based, including the camera and animated objects as additional performers, upsetting the separation between stage and backstage. Their most recent catalog is called Stages (Spector, 2022). They showed their film installation Moving Backwards at the Swiss Pavilion of the 58th Venice Biennale (2019) and, most recently, their immersive installation and performance Glass Is My Skin at the Crystal Palace, Museo Reina Sofía, Madrid (2022/23). Other recent international exhibitions include Museo CA2M, Madrid (2022); Whitechapel Gallery, London (2022); Van Abbe Museum, Eindhoven (2022); National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne (2022); FRAC Bretagne, Rennes (2021); Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (2021); Centre Pompidou, Paris (2021); Julia Stoschek Collection, Berlin (2019); New Museum, New York (2018); and Gwangju Biennale (2016).
