Kasper Kovitz

Kovitz is an Austrian artist who has been working in the United States for the last decade. His work uses the visceral aspects of non-traditional materials to look at iconic imagery of

borders, violence and identity. Since 1999, he has been assembling these narrative fragments into a super installation of 670 pieces. Recent exhibitions include

Sunset:Delayed (collaboration with Andrea Lenardin) at the MAK in Vienna, solos shows in Los Angeles and Munich and inclusion in the First International Roaming Biennial of

Tehran. In winter 2010, he will take his project to an ice fishing hut in the Nova Scotia wilderness.
