SABINE FELLNER
Curator. Art historian. Author.
Freelance curator, author, art historian and - beyond that - a tireless promoter of unjustly forgotten Austrian women artists. Sabine Fellner has curated extraordinary events worldwide that deal with women as well as with socio-politically topical issues, such as motherhood, ageing in our society, childhood or the current ecological crisis. She curated with "City of Women. Women Artists in Vienna from 1900 to 1938 "and "Appearance of Women. Künstlerinnen in Linz 1851-1950" (Women Artists in Linz 1851-1950), focusing on one hundred years of creative work by emancipated women who actively helped to shape the art scene. Making the work of these women visible corrects and expands the local art historiography.

“Telling the stories of strong, emancipated women corrects our traditional image of history and shows that Austria’s art scene was also significantly shaped by women. This creates role models for the following generations of women.”
“I always choose my topics from my own experience, from my perception of current problems that are discussed too little or uncritically in public.”
