Thomas "tOmi" Scheiderbauer (born 1961 in Hard , Vorarlberg ) is an Austrian interdisciplinary photo, graphic and context artist, curator and producer. He lives in Bregenz and Lecce .

His projects mainly revolve around the question of the origin of ideas or the nature of spontaneity and intuition. A relational, participatory and empathic concept of art appears central. “ A real artist is partist ”.

Life & work

Scheiderbauer attended the Federal High School in Bregenz from 1970 to 1976 and was there on the editorial board of the school newspapers "Rübe" and "Zwiebel". The editorial team included Hans Peter Martin , Markus Barney and Frank Mätzler. In 1976 the management advised the editorial team / Scheiderbauer to leave the school. Scheiderbauer was the only one on the editorial team to prefer vocational training and completed a three-year photo apprenticeship. He then attended the Höhere Graphische Bundes-Lehr- und Versuchsanstalt (master class for photography) in Vienna from 1980 to 1981 , then moved to Spain before, after extensive travels in the USA and Africa, from 1985 to 1989 he studied video art (class for audiovisual design at the School of Design in Basel ). He was the initiator and co-founder of the studio community VIA, AudioVideoKunst in Basel. From 1989–1991 Scheiderbauer spent 14 months with Teresa Alonso Novo in Egypt, where they worked as a carpenter and project planner in the Shabramant studio house (by Adel al Hozayin) in Cairo and Basata (by Sherif al Ghamrawy) in northern Sinai. In Basata on the Red Sea, the first sketches for an infra sculpture were made . When the second Gulf War broke out in January 1991 , Scheiderbauer and Alonso Novo left Egypt and temporarily moved to Switzerland, where they founded the c a l c project together with the artist Lukas Brunner and the programmer Marcus Spiegel.

Projects (selection)

  • c a l c - Casqueiro Atlantico Laboratorio Cultural, 1991–2003, in Navia , or the small suburb of Las Aceñas on the north-west Spanish Atlantic coast, was the work and living center of all c a l c projects for 12 years. The infra sculpture or “interactive studio sculpture ” was a conglomerate of different buildings with different uses: the old mill house or mother ship or the telematic laboratory, the second studio house for the pre-digital media and the NAVE or sleeping house. The declared aim was to develop special telematic art projects in cooperation between Navia and the rest of the world and to intervene creatively as actively as possible in the local circumstances retrospectively. These projects were created parallel to the construction of the infra sculpture .
  • NAVE sleeping house - this mobile architecture was created in 1997 as the first telematic c a l c project between Navia and the Swiss architects Koeppel & Martinez in Widnau, who were still working as a duo at the time. Based on the structure of the Horreo , an ellipsoidal, mobile building with two bedrooms and a bathroom was created.
