Based between Stockholm and Nürnberg, Krauß is a tutor at Piet Zwart Institute since 2006.
In his work, Krauß uses techniques ranging from painting, drawing and sculpture to video, photography, printing, performance, and theatre. Krauß continuously absorbs the everyday around him and uses this material for his objects, performances, and pictures as well as for his own improvised TV channel (“Channel Middle Franconia”). His subtle transgressions often demand either self-reflection from passers-by about their place, both publicly and privately, in greater society. His use of formats not specific to art practice, and his preference for everyday forms of action, is characteristic of his work as much as the distance he consciously keeps to the type of expert artists, who attain mastery in their specific technique and spread it throughout the art system.

Recent exhibitions and projects include: Goethe Institut, New York, US; Column: Poughkeepsie Journal, US; CAPC Musée d’Art Contemporain Bordeaux; Byrdcliffe Guild, Woodstock, US; Galerie Giti Nourbakhsch, Berlin; CCS Bard, Annandale on Hudson, US; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Deutschland, Usedom Lützen, with Nina Svensson; and, Grazer Kunstverein, Graz. In 2012, Krauß contributed to the exhibition Perception Exercises curated by Anna Maria Łuczak held at the Wolfart Project Spaces.
