Nikolaus Eckhard is an artist based in Vienna who focuses on collaborative sculpture and performance as well as film. In his artistic research practice, he explores the transfer of information between materials and bodies in order to examine the traces our lives leave behind in stones. He was co-director of the artistic research projects Greenwashed Concrete (2020–2022) and Reverse Imagining Vienna (2021–2024) at the University of Applied Arts. He is also co-founder of the initiative die Feldversuche (field experiments), which since 2021 has offered local and international artists the opportunity to explore the themes of food production and urbanisation in a communal farming project in Vienna.
