Jenni Tischer is an artist, author and educator based in Vienna and Berlin.  Her sculptures, paintings and installations reformulate form principles, material and spatial references from a feminist perspective. Tischer is particularly interested in the infrastructures of reproductive labor and social reproduction, which through gender, race, and class decisively define the situatedness of the viewer in (social) space and their relationship to themselves and other objects.
She studied at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna until 2010. Tischer then worked as an editor for the Berlin art magazine Texte zur Kunst. She has taught at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, the Academy of Fine Arts Nuremberg and since 2019 she has been teaching at the University of Applied Arts Vienna. Jenni Tischer is co-editor of the edition of “Backyard Economy. Perspectives on Marginalization and Economy. FKW: Zeitschrift für Geschlechterforschung und visuelle Kultur (Vienna, 2023) and the anthology Abstraction and Economy. Myths of Growth, De Gruyter (Berlin / Bosten, 2024).
Tischer’s work has most recently been shown in solo exhibitions at Galerie Krobath Vienna; Kunstforum Baloise, Basel; mumok –Museum für Moderne Kunst, Vienna; and in group exhibitions at MAK – Museum für angewandte Kunst, Vienna; MAK Center, Los Angeles; Kunsthalle Tübingen; among others. Tischer was awarded the 15th Baloise Art Prize at Art Basel and was an Artist in Residence at the MAK Schindler Residency program in Los Angeles.
