Conny Frischauf
is alumni of the department of TransArts and will work at AIL from January 12 till February 12, 2026.
Conny
Frischauf is a sound and visual artist based in Vienna, Austria. They studied transdisciplinary arts (TransArts)
at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, regularly perform, sound, conduct workshops and lectures, repair and build audio
equipment, score films and performances, host, listen, write and walk. Since 2024, they have been running Sedimente, a platform
that slowly inter-layers through text, sound, space, and more.
Conny Frischauf blends situated, sound, visual
practice and research while focusing on spatial entanglements and related textures. Experimentally exploring exclusionary
politics of language and narration, Conny is interested in decentralized forms of relationship, encounter, and resistance.
Repeatedly and throughout different media such as sound, sculpture, text, installation, and video, they are interested in
threshold areas, areas of transition, the invisible, and the unspeakable.
Their transdisciplinary
work dwells between situated practice, research, archival, and artistic production, with a focus on sound and listening practices
to understand complex conditions of place/space through non-linear approaches.
During their residency Conny
will work on the long term work Dwin City which deals with the Danube river and its environments between Vienna and Bratislava.
This work is about collective memory, heritage, and the spaces that are inhabited in between scientific or (art) historical
narratives. Driven by the question of how to gain, produce, and share the notions of knowing, not knowing, being, and acknowledging,
Conny presented a first sonic outcome in summer 2025 in Vienna. Within their residency at AIL, Conny will expand Dwin City
into an installative-performative body of work by adding video and architectural elements.
