Kay Walkowiak was born in 1980 in Salzburg and now lives and works in Vienna. He studied Sculpture and Multimedia at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Photography and Video Art at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Expanded Expression at the Zokei University in Tokyo and Philosophy and Psychology at the University of Vienna. Walkowiak’s work is a complex mixture of installation, sculpture, video art and photography and combines conceptual and post minimal strategies. In many of his works the artist explores the historically and socioculturally defined handling of form and questions its functional positing as a projection surface for timeless utopias. Walkowiak has participated in various international group exhibitions since 2004, most recently at the Kunsthalle Tübingen (2023). Solo exhibitions include the MAK – Austrian Museum of Applied Arts, Bank Austria Kunstforum Vienna, the Soulangh Art Space in Tainan, the Austrian Cultural Forum in New Delhi, the Node Gallery in Tokyo and the Jim Thompson Art Center in Bangkok. He also featured at the Vienna Biennale 2017 and 2021, the Lahore Biennale in 2018 and the 4th Mediterranean Biennale in 2021.
