Irene Weingartner (*1971 in Nottwil) is a contemporary artist. She lives and works in Düsseldorf (Germany) and Zurich (Switzerland).

In 2007 she developed the system for her Seismographic Recordings originated from the Body[1], which have since formed the main strand of her work.

Life

edit

Irene Weingartner grew up in Nottwil, Switzerland. Following her training in architecture, she studied Fine Art at the Hochschule Luzern (University of Applied Sciences and Arts, Lucerne), at the UDK Berlin and at Chelsea College of Arts, London, where she graduated with an MA Fine Art in 2001.

From 2005 - 2010 she was a teaching assistant and from 2010 - 2016 a guest lecturer at the Zürcher Hochschule der Künste (Zurich University of the Arts), specializing in Fine Art.

After teaching assignments at the HBK Saar, Saarbrücken, UCA Canterbury and the Glasgow School of Art, she held the V.d. professorship of the drawing class at the HBK Braunschweig from 2019 to 2021.[2]

Work

edit

In 2007, Irene Weingartner developed the system for her Seismographic Recordings originated from the Body, which have formed the main strand of her work ever since.

Art historian Dr. Emmanuel Mir describes her approach to the Seismographic Recordings as following: "To carry out this work, Weingartner places herself in a particularly subtle state of perception. Signals originated from the body or the environment are first registered by the brain and then transmitted to the arm, hand and pencil before being transferred to paper. Like a seismograph, the artist's body is transformed into a recording device during this process, translating inner impulses into visible traces. She uses her instruments like a pendulum that transmits the accumulated energy from her process of concentration. In that sense, Irene Weingartner has developed an artistic method to transfer physical impulses, with little disturbance as possible, directly onto the paper."[3]

In 2012, the book "Aufzeichnungsmaschine - Recording Machine" was published, in which Weingartner asks scientists from various disciplines whether it would be possible to create an imaging process using the method she has developed.[4]

From this main strand, Weingartner's works branch out in various directions into the three-dimensional; since 2014, she has been exploring the question of how she could develop architectural structures and produce thereof sculptures based on the Seismographic Recordings originated from the Body.[5]
