Theresa Baumgartner^DE

With influences spanning from experimental noise and punk to painting and sculpture, Baumgartner’s work floats between audiovisual performance, installation art, and experimental art film. She has previously collaborated with an impressive range of acts, such as Hildur Guðnadóttir, Abyss X, Bendik Giske, Gediminas Žygus, and Holly Childs. (Baumgartner also provided the light design for upsammy and Jonathan Castro’s performance of Germ in a Population of Buildings during Rewire Festival 2023.)

For Baumgartner, who has found navigating the fine arts world to be often uneasy, approaching music from a non-musician positionality lends itself better to a more collectivist and democratic ethos, leading to a visceral blend of disorder and experimentation with painterly and sculptural sensibilities.
