Eduard Freudmann lives and works in Vienna. In his artistic practice he researches and intervenes in the intersections of art and politics, power relations and social contexts, history-politics and media mechanisms, strategies of exclusion and the commodification of knowledge. He studied art in Vienna and Weimar and currently works on his PhD at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Department for Visual Contemporary History at the University of Vienna. Since 2007, he has been teaching at the Department for Post-Conceptual Art Practices at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, where he co-initiated Plattform Geschichtspolitik, an open collective of students, activists and teachers who critically reflect and publicly deal with the institution’s participation in colonialism, (Austro-) fascism and Nazism.
During the residency he worked on a project that departs from the question whether there is something such as a specific "Jewish solidarity". He conducted interviews with artists and cultural producers who deal in their work with both, political issues and their Jewishness. The project takes place in Beer Sheva, Berlin, Budapest, Jerusalem, Kecskemet, New York, Nickelsdorf, Tel Aviv and Vienna.
