do trans-Art_114
Thursday, 11th December, 7:30PM
with Herbert Lacina, bass
in my studio at Bundesstraße 37, 5071 Wals
The 114th do trans-Art Performance presents an interactive audiovisual dialogue with Astrid Rieder, large-scale drawing, and Herbert Lacina, acoustics on 12-string bass. The materiality of paper structure, shapes, and colors, physical gestures, and improvised sounds stimulate inner worlds of thought, and universal themes are addressed individually. The different art forms interact and ideally come into a flow. The result is a compositiongraphiquemusicale. The performance is framed by a time window of 40 minutes. Unwritten sounds and additive large-scale drawing are essentially an analog process. The drawing develops additively on the 150x100 cm paper canvas in combination with the sounds and mutual influence to form a unified audiovisual work. The idea is as follows: by stimulating personal reflection and global questions, the wordless dialogue creates the possibility of new insights for all participants, both the artists and the audience.

PERFORMANCESERIES: "do trans-Art" 2025
with Astrid Rieder
In 2016, Astrid Rieder created the monthly performance series do trans-Art in her studio at Künstlerhaus Salzburg, which she has since continued in her studio in Wals, Salzburg: On the second Thursday of every month, Astrid Rieder invites a musician from the field of new music to her studio to enter into an artistic, transdisciplinary dialogue in front of an audience. For 40 minutes, two artists interact between abstract drawing and new music, without a score, without rehearsals and without thematic guidelines. The drawing is neither a performance instruction nor a visualisation of the sounds played. Likewise, the sound is not a musicalisation of the drawing. Rather, the performance is a simultaneous action and reaction, a bi-directional dialogue based on mutual inspiration, in which the arts meet without any hierarchy.
Despite many obstacles, the performance series do trans-Art has taken place every second Thursday of the month without interruption since 2016. After each performance, the large-scale drawing, a documentary video and an audio recording remain. After the performance, the audio recording (consisting of the musical part and the sounds created during the drawing process) can be heard on Astrid Rieder's radio programme Atelier für neue Musik / trans-Art on radiofabrik and RadioFro, together with a conversation with her performance partner.
