Ida-Marie Corell

Dr Ida-Marie Corell (*1984) is a circular-disciplinary, synaesthetic artist, performer, composer and researcher with roots in Berlin, Lower Austria and Finnøy. Her practice spans music, painting, performance, drawing, collage, research, and art-and-knowledge transfer. Through her concept of “Synaisthesia”—a shared perception across different sensory registers—she creates works that dissolve disciplinary boundaries and open new spaces for interaction and reflection.

Conceptually, Corell weaves historical and mythological contexts with a critical examination of the roles of women and marginalised identities; themes such as witch persecutions and herstory intersect with performative, musical and painterly elements. She understands art as the transfer of knowledge that evolves within social contexts—exemplified by the network project Technologies of HER, an interdisciplinary art, research and knowledge initiative on cyclical, rhythmic and matriarchal intelligences, as well as pre-linguistic modes of perception such as synaesthesia.

Corell studied Fine and Media Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she completed a doctorate in 2010 in Art and Knowledge Transfer; an Erasmus stay at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts deepened her interdisciplinary approach. Her practice is reflected, among other places, in the publications Alltagsobjekt Plastiktüte (Springer Wien New York) and The Artist is Resident (The Torri Verlag).
