About
Denise Hirtenfelder.
Biography
Denise Hirtenfelder (*1997) is an Austrian conceptual artist. She calls herself an "inbetweener" within her artistic practice, due to the fact that she does not focus on a certain medium rather than on her position as a communicator and collaborator. Hirtenfelder's projects explore a field in-between art, design and research. She has a background education in fashion at the college "KunstModeDesign-Herbststrasse" and photography at the private school "School Friedl Kubelka for Artistic Photography" in Vienna. She is currently enrolled for Fine-Arts at Willem de Kooning Academy in Rotterdam. Since 2018 Hirtenfelder has been responsible for creative directing tasks as well as holding workshops and lectures for the Austrian fashion & art platform eyes&ah that supports and connects young upcoming artists and established designers.
Regarding her works, Hirtenfelder encounters a commercial perspective of Fine-Arts and focuses on Speculative Design. She creates future concepts by having a critical view on our current society.
