CONVERSATION, ART
Interview with Nana Mandl & Herbert De Colle
Nana Mandl (b. 1991) and Herbert De Colle (b. 1978) are artists based in Vienna. Nana Mandl combines digital and analog worlds through collages, embroidery and textile manipulation, offering a tactile contrast to fast-paced digital imagery. Herbert De Colle references countercultural movements flattened by pop culture into labor-intensive public installations with renewed vigor. We visited their respective studios during Vienna Art Week and continued the conversation over email.
