Katharina Cibulka

Video works Cibulka's video Getting my name up there is based on two films made in New York, interviewing five musicians ten years apart. The film focuses on their personal development and the changes in their goals. Another video, "Do not leave any traces", documented the words before and after they were painted on a wall of the exhibition room.

Cibulka had solo shows at the Ursula Blickle Video Lounge of the Kunsthalle Wien in 2006, and at Andechs Galleries in Innsbruck in 2011. On the protective covering of the scaffolding at construction sites, Cibulka writes monumental messages in cross-stitch using pink tulle on white mesh. Messages follow the pattern "As long as ... I will be a feminist." The Academy, Cibulka's alma mater, is the only university in Europe or the United States that has achieved an equal gender ratio in its staff and students. The message challenged the imbalance towards male artists in the international art market as identified by the Guerrilla Girls and others. Other messages have appeared in at least 21 cities, including the twin cities of Innsbruck, Austria and Freiburg, Germany; Landek, Austria;

On 4 May 2021, the message "As long as the hope we spread is stronger than the fear we face, I will be a feminist" in Ljubljana, the capitol of Slovenia, was partially destroyed by vandals. The work had been installed at Cukrarna, a former sugar refinery turned art gallery. It was part of a larger exhibition of sixteen artists, "When Gesture Becomes Event", which opened on 30 April 2021. After the destruction the words "Hope... fear... we face" remained. The City Art Gallery of Ljubljana requested that the damaged work continue to be displayed "as a mirror to all of us, reminding us where we’re heading as a society and how much fear is still present among us".

Cibulka's first installation in the United States, part of the SOLANGE series, covers the north-facing façade of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, D.C. It carries the message (in English) "As long as generations change but our struggles stay the same, I will be a feminist." Cibulka followed Miss Chelove as one of several women artists who were chosen to present monumental works in the National Museum of Women in the Arts' Lookout series of installations while the museum is being renovated.

Cibulka serves on the board of the Tyrolean Artists' Association (Tiroler Künstlerschaft).
