Academic career

Zobernig began his teaching career as a professor at the Academy of Applied Arts, Vienna. After several teaching fellowships in Germany he was appointed professor of art at the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna, in 1999, where he continues to teach.

Work

Zobernig makes discreet objects—paintings and sculptures—that by necessity have an integral awareness of their context and history, not only in relation to fine art but also architecture and design. He also conceives and builds whole environments that encourage an all-encompassing awareness on the part of his viewers. What an artwork is, how it functions, and how viewers perceive and interact with it are fundamental propositions in Zobernig's work.[2]

Exhibitions

Zobernig represented Austria in La Biennale di Venezia in 2015.
