Kurz began exhibiting in 2009. Kurz co-initiated the group exhibition
S.O.A.P.Y. (Servants Order of Ancient Psychic Youth), which later developed into the collaborative project ''Vetjylien N'gyrz'' with
Julien Nguyen. Two ongoing projects,
Herba-4 (2014–) and
Corium (2021), address themes related to environmental precarity and cross-border biopolitics. The character was first created for
Bed-Stuy Love Affair's presentation at the
Whitney Museum of American Art in New York (2015), and also appears in later works, most notably in
The Dilldapp Memorial (2019/2020). In 2016, Kurz participated in a
puppet show in
Brooklyn alongside artists such as
Rochelle Goldberg,
Jacky Connolly,
Ficus Interfaith,
Martine Fougeron, and
Daniela Lalita. He collaborated with Stefan Tcherepnin at
MoMA PS1 as part of the "Sunday Sessions" program. He subsequently collaborated with Tcherepnin, and Goldberg in the context of
Reading International in 2017. Kurz participated with his installation "RElife" in
Made in Germany Drei at
Kestner Gesellschaft,
Hannover. He transforms the romantic idyll of landscapes into whimsical, fairy-tale-like scenes. His biotope-like sculptures are interwoven with elements of architecture and design. Thematically, he links unbridled consumption with ecological disaster, treating both as two sides of the same coin. In 2019, '''' listed Kurz's solo exhibition
Nutrition and Drama at Isabella Bortolozzi Galerie among the highlights of Gallery Weekend Berlin. Kurz presented a solo exhibition titled
Thyroxin (2020) at Weiss Falk Gallery in
Basel. An exhibition text notes references to the
Chernobyl disaster and describes imagery related to radiation, poisoning, and psychological experiences such as anxiety and trauma. His solo exhibitions include
Sequence 7: One Work, One Week at
Miguel Abreu Gallery, New York (2020). In 2023, he was part of the exhibition
Old Veins, New Tunnels at Galerie Heidi in Berlin, alongside
Alicja Wahl,
Alina Szapocznikow and
Leidy Churchman. Kurz's practice of world-building that draws from German folklore, psychology, and contemporary environmental crises is visible in the exhibition
Art & Ecology at the contemporary art gallery
What Pipeline in
