Ingrid Wiener grew up in Vienna as the daughter of an engineer and a seamstress. From 1956 to 1958 she attended business school in her hometown and completed an apprenticeship as an office clerk. She then worked for a short time as an office clerk in a furniture factory.

In her youth she was closely associated with the Vienna group and its members HC Artmann , Friedrich Achleitner , Konrad Bayer , Gerhard Rühm and Oswald Wiener and took part in actions and performances such as the 1st and 2nd literary cabaret . In 1959 she played together with Konrad Bayer in the short film Sun stop! by the Austrian filmmaker Ferry Radax .

In 1960 she decided to study at the higher federal teaching and research institute for the textile industry , which she graduated in 1964 with a diploma in design . As part of her training, she learned to weave. The traditional craft laid the foundation for her artistic work. In the sixties she worked in Vienna as an artist , photo model , graphic artist and extras . She cooperated with other Austrian artists such as Valie Export and Friedensreich Hundertwasser .

In 1969 she fled to West Berlin with her partner, the Austrian writer , cyberneticist , language theorist and restaurateur Oswald Wiener . Oswald Wiener was one of the initiators and participants in the “Art and Revolution” (“Uni-Ferkelei”) campaign that took place on June 7, 1968 at the University of Vienna. The action was one of the high points of the student movement in Austria in 1968 . Oswald Wiener was sentenced to six months in prison for this, but was acquitted after six weeks of arrest. He was then watched by the police. To avoid constant reprisals, the couple decided to flee.

In Berlin, Ingrid Wiener founded the artist bars Matala , Exil and Ax Bax one after the other together with Oswald Wiener and her friend, the Austrian artist and restaurateur Michel Würthle . Your cuisine has had a major impact on the culinary landscape of Berlin. Above all, the exile at Paul-Lincke-Ufer 44a became the center of West Berlin intellectuals and the literary and artistic avant-garde of the seventies and eighties. The artists, writers, musicians and actors Dieter Roth , Joseph Beuys , Martin Kippenberger , Max Frisch , Peter O'Toole , David Bowie and Iggy Pop sat and ate here . The television cook Sarah Wiener , Oswald Wiener's daughter from his first marriage, gained her first gastronomic experience in exile . The Austrian restaurant was run by the Wieners until 1984. Today the Horváth restaurant is located there . The chef and owner is the star chef Sebastian Frank .

In addition to her work as a cook and restaurateur in West Berlin, Ingrid Wiener devoted herself to her own art. In the mid-seventies, the tapestry Bertorelli B was created in collaboration with Valie Export and the Swiss friend and artist Dieter Roth . In the following 24 years, a total of five tapestries were created in cooperation with Dieter Roth. A summary of the joint work and correspondence between Wiener and Roth was published in 2007 under the title One may also weave what one cannot see. The carpets by Dieter Roth and Ingrid Wiener from Kerber Verlag. In the late seventies and early eighties, Ingrid Wiener also belonged to the West Berlin music underground as "Monsti" Wiener and performed at SO 36 . In 1978 the record True Friendship was released, on which she sang pop and mood songs together with Valie Export.

In 1986 Ingrid and Oswald Wiener moved to the Canadian Yukon, to Dawson City . There they ran the Claims Cafe, among other things . In Canada Ingrid Wiener began to deal with images in dreams. She created her first watercolors in which she captured her often surreal dreams.

After working in Germany and Austria, Ingrid Wiener now lives with Oswald Wiener in south-eastern Styria .

plant

As early as the 1960s, Ingrid Wiener and Valie Export made tapestries for the artist friend Friedensreich Hundertwasser . However, these were created according to his template and were exhibited and sold exclusively under his name.

Her first large tapestry in the mid-1970s was a collaboration with the artist Dieter Roth and the artist Valie Export, which, however, returned to her own projects after completing the work. The three artists set out to invent a new type of tapestry weaving: only weave what you can see behind the warp threads. That was hardly feasible, but the idea of ​​non-rigid, flowing weaving runs through Ingrid Wiener's work to this day. Wiener himself once described her approach in October 1986 as follows: "We didn't want to change the tapestry technique, that would be old hat, but rather develop new ideas after observing the given procedure."

Between 1974 and 1997 a total of five tapestries were created with Dieter Roth . Their joint works have been exhibited at MAC Marseille, the Vienna Secession , Schaulager in Basel , Museum Ludwig in Cologne and the Museum of Modern Art in New York City.

At the end of the eighties, when Ingrid Wiener had already moved to northwestern Canada with Oswald Wiener, Ingrid Wiener and Dieter Roth sent each other video letters . These were published as an edition in 2003 by the Berlin gallery Barbara Wien. In the recordings, Ingrid Wiener comments "from the off on natural phenomena, encounters with brown bears or a visit to the local post office. Occasionally the narrator herself appears in the picture. However, she always leads us back to where everything begins and ends in this video tape seems - inside a workshop, on a huge loom that stands in a log cabin in the Canadian wilderness. "

Since moving to Canada, she has made her own, smaller tapestries again and again. Ingrid Wiener tries to depict objects from her everyday life in these tapestries, such as a cutting board, old shopping lists, cables or cucumbers on newspaper. Tried, because she doesn't just weave the images and objects away , but holds them in the moment of weaving and inscribes her own moods and points of view.

Ingrid Wiener is also known for her trauma watercolors. Ingrid Wiener captures her dreams, her thoughts and the nocturnal stories in her head in the watercolors, which are often absurd modifications of real events in her life.

In the nineties Ingrid Wiener realized - in addition to her own tapestries and dream images - film documentaries such as Yukon Quest and Das unsagbaren Sagen for Austrian television with Valie Export and Oswald Wiener, and to this day she has staged singing and cooking performances in galleries and exhibition spaces in Germany and Austria.

Ingrid Wiener is represented by Galerie Barbara Wien in Berlin and Galerie Charim in Vienna . Her works were shown in exhibition rooms.
