Pia Maria Martin (*1974 in Altdorf) is a video artist whose interest lays in apparently secondary things and trivial processes. She uses empty spaces, deprived of the public view, as production facility and as a source of inspiration for a spectacle that takes place on the newly found stage. Pia Maria Martin lives and works in Stuttgart. Her last exhibitions took place at Galerie Reinhard Hauff, Stuttgart, Thomas Erben Gallery New York and at Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst in Zurich.

Each week, the series Hier und Jetzt presents artists who live and work in Stuttgart. In talks, performances and discussions, the series aims to exhibit different approaches in various sections and disciplines to shape the scene of young artists in Stuttgart.

Parts of the event series are initiated in cooperation with Akademie Solitude. Curators: Michael Birchall, Axel. J. Wieder.
