Artistic career

Elisa Asenbaum is the third child of Herbert and Inge Asenbaum and comes from a Viennese family interested in art. Her father was an antique dealer, her mother a jewelry collector specializing in Art Deco . Asenbaum grew up with two older brothers in Vienna who work as art dealers , appraisers and art scholars. After graduating from high school, Elisa Asenbaum studied design, ceramics , painting and graphics at the University of Applied Arts Vienna .

Following her diploma in 1986, she worked across media in the fields of painting and graphics, photo and video, artistically and musically, initiated writing and language projects, spatial and sound installations, action art and performances in public spaces. In particular, Elisa Asenbaum deals artistically with the connections between emotions , thought processes and patterns of perception. Since 1986 she has been engaged in experimental minimalist music and performed together with Thomas Maximilian Stuck as ET Sound from 1987 . Both founded the artist duo GAS in 1990 and have been working together artistically as Graphic - Art - Sound since then .

From 2008 Elisa Asenbaum devoted herself more and more to cross-disciplinary collaboration between the visual arts, literature and science. Together with her artistic partner Thomas Maximilian Stuck, she founded the G.AS-station Berlin project space - gas station for art and impulse . Here she works as a curator for interdisciplinary exhibitions and, in addition to her own contributions, also initiates collaborative collaboration between artists and scientists.

For this artistic work, the GAS-station Berlin was honored in 2015 and 2017 with the award of artistic project spaces and initiatives by the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.

In 2009 Asenbaum began an experimental writing project, which developed into a literary work and was published in 2016 under the title AUGUSTINA . As part of a participatory, interdisciplinary work process between artists and scientists, parts of the text became the starting point for new works by other contemporary artists, which were presented in an exhibition at the GAS-station Berlin under the title Augustina dreams - in progressius (2015-2017) .

Elisa Asenbaum lives as a visual artist, media artist and author in Vienna and works temporarily as curator of the GAS-station Berlin - petrol station for art and impulse in Berlin.

Quote

"Emotions, thought processes and patterns of perception with all their contradictions in human existence are often the subject of my work. My main aim is to examine and question societal and culturally determined boundaries and human thought conventions."
