Lukas Weithas (Bregenz / Austria based) studied Transmedia Art with a focus on Social Practice at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna (2017 – 2019) & Pioneering in Arts, Media & the Creative Industries / Arts and Culture Management at Zeppelin University Friedrichshafen (2019 – 2021). His works range from sculpture, installation, painting & drawing to performance. Weithas is particularly interested in the practice and phenomenology of alpine agriculture, intensive and extensive agriculture, hunting and forestry – as well as their historical transformations and contemporary forms of representation. Since July 2023, he has been curating the exhibition format DOCK 20 life, which is presenting experimental positions from the fields of performance, dance, choreography and music at DOCK 20 – Kunstraum und Sammlung Hollenstein / Lustenau.
