Current Activities of Trans-Art
do trans-Art 2024
with Astrid Rieder
On the 2nd Thursday of every month, I invite a contemporary musician of new music to my studio to engage in a transdisciplinary dialogue with them in front of an audience: for 40 minutes, in constant interaction, without rehearsal or score, two artists modulate, act and react - and along with them, two art forms: new music and abstract drawing. Neither the music nor the drawing has priority. We artists engage in a bidirectional dialogue based on mutual inspiration, in which the two art forms meet in constant interdependence and without hierarchy.
The performance series do trans-Art was developed in 2016 in my studio at Künstlerhaus Salzburg and later continued in my studio at Bundesstraße 37, Wals, Salzburg. Despite many obstacles, do trans-Art has since taken place every 2nd Thursday of the month without interruption.

do trans-Art_94
Thursday, 11th April at 7:30PM
with Paul Eiser, saxophone
in my studio at Bundesstraße 37, 5071 Wals
The jazz saxophonist Paul Eiser from Salzburg is Astrid Rieder's guest and performance partner in the 94th performance of the performance series do trans-Art, an interdisciplinary dialog between abstract drawing and new music. Paul Eiser plays soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophone with a special interest in free improvisation and the avant-garde. He is a member of the band 4&more, the niM Orchestra in Salzburg and co-curates the niM and Hear series at Jazzit. For the 94th do trans-Art, he has come up with something special: In the form of field recordings, Paul Eiser collects sounds from the city of Salzburg, edits and distorts them in order to integrate them musically into the dialog with Astrid Rieder on April 11.
trans-Art, the dialogue between abstract sounds and abstract drawing
artistic vision:
A trans-art performance explores the interplay between new music and abstract drawing. It is a regular exercise of an encounter in which two dialogue partners, coming from two different disciplines and thus also from two different worlds and everyday lives, engage in a dialogue in a shared "strangeness". In a constantly interactive, modulating, flowing process, without a score, without arrangements or rehearsals, a joint visual and auditory composition can be created - the Composition Graphique Musicale. The drawing process, like the musical process, is additive, i.e. what has already been drawn is overdrawn and thus expanded during the trans-art performance. The audience can perceive these processes simultaneously as movement that can sharpen the senses, as the phenomenologist Merleau-Ponty described Paul Klee's act of painting. The final product consists of the large drawing, a sound recording and a recorded video.
