think in images and feel with music...
In my art I follow the transmedial approach, which combines sound and image with each other in an innovative way.
With the harp, I direct my visual worlds. In essence, I navigate my art as a musical storyteller.
And the interaction between music and painting means immersing myself into the symbiosis of a total work of art",
says artist Martina Stock on the occasion of her artistic performance at Schloss Arenberg Salzburg.


This is how her walk-in audiovisual installation
“100 FEMALE VOICES -
Portraits of renowned female artists
from 100 years of the Salzburg Festival”,
got inspiered and is now being continued at the
Austrian Cultural Forum Berlin with
with “OPUS 24”.

Exhibition duration: October 2, 2024 - January 20, 2025


For the director of the Albertina Modern, Angela Stief, this means (exhibition text):
Martina Stock, who paints with squeegee and screen, creates a rich web of relationships that
oscillates between past and present, bringing space and time together in a multi-sensory manner.
The works, positioned back to back, combine the photographic image with abstract fiction,
conveying a strong alliance of women. This project, conceived as a total work of art, does not seek
to define a feminine aesthetic, but instead creates a multi-faceted narrative with numerous
fractures and tensions employing portraits to map, reflect, and revise time and ages. Relating
stories from a different perspective also means posing questions.
to ask questions.

As a neo-harpist with solo concerts and her audiovisual performances,
she is touring arround the world.
