MARKUS PROSCHEK

Within the Artist-in-Residence Program, CCA is delighted to host artist Markus Proschek. Born in 1981 in Schwarzach, Austria, Proschek’s elaborated paintings and installations often evolve around topics concerning the relationship between history and ideology, narratives that are inscribed into our perception of (historical) objects and imagery. He examines our attitudes towards these witnesses of the past between documentation and fiction. A proposal of history as a continuous nonlinear process, permanently reshaped by our expectations and desires in a “long now“ of simultaneous layers. Markus currently lives and works in Vienna and will be staying in Studio Verde during October 2023.
