Lives and works in Vienna.

Oliver Hangl, who originally started his career as actor and scenic designer in 1993 (best known for his long-term acting as "Robin" in the TV-production "Phettbergs Nette Leit Show") is just as active in performative disciplines and medial spaces as he is in classical fine arts exhibition sites. His current works, which are not tied to one medium, are marked by breaks in reality, doublings, and in between realms. Hangl is involved in a broad range of activites, in which he frequently switches between the positions of artist, actor, producer and/or director. Since 2008 he has been running his own project space "k48 – offensive for contemporary perception" in Vienna.
