Johannes Franz-Figeac (*1985, GER) lives and works in Vienna.
Since 2009 he participates in exhibitions as a single artist or with artists collectives. Key landmarks of his multimedia-based artworks are collective work practices and urban interventions.
His art production is vigorously connected with collectivist beliefs. He is co-founder of the collective baer – Wiener KünstlerInnenvereinigung and sowieso! Kunstworkshops für Kinder mit Behinderung.
Since November 2015 he hosts the monthly artists-presentation BEWÄHRUNGSPROBE# in Vienna.
