In Ulrike Flaig’s art practice, the media of drawing, installation, performance, and experimental music overlap. She describes her works, among other things, as making images audible – and thus as extensions of the art cosmos. Ulrike Flaig translates paintings into installations set to music by making the structure of a painting the basis for notations. The artist’s analytical view and reflection on art practices play a major role here. In her research, she is as concerned with musical icons at the interface of art and music as she is with literature and philosophy. The publication conveys numerous cross-references and thoughts of the artist and shows a further development of her statements.

ULRIKE FLAIG (*1962) studied art history at the University of Regensburg as well as fine arts at the State Academy of Fine Arts in Stuttgart and at the University of Music and Performing Arts in Hamburg.
