until 24.04. | #4617ARTatBerlin | AOA;87 shows from the 30. March 2025 (Opening: 29.03.) the exhibition “Veni Vidi Venus” by the artist Ida-Marie Corell.
Galerie AOA;87 presents the exhibition Veni Vidi Venus by Ida-Marie Corell, an interdisciplinary art project about the Venus of Willendorf. On display is a compendium of 108 works published in the graphic novel of the same name – a humorous and exploratory approach to the famous prehistoric artefact.
The opening will be accompanied by Veni Vidi Voice, a live audiovisual performance that translates Corell’s exploration of Venus into an acoustic dimension. Music plays a central role in her work as a synaesthete, as it combines visual and sonic perception in particular.
In Corell’s artistic exploration, the Venus of Willendorf tells her own story. Corell describes this encounter as an initiation, as a dialogue between past and present, art and viewer. Anyone who engages with Venus becomes part of an expanded consciousness.

Corell’s work combines historical and mythological contexts with a critical reflection on the role of women and marginalised identities in history. Themes such as witch-hunts and herstory – a female perspective on historiography – are incorporated alongside performative, musical and painterly elements.
What began as visual research with collages, drawings and texts developed into a Gesamtkunstwerk – a social sculpture in the sense of Joseph Beuys. Corell sees art as a transfer of knowledge that develops further in social contexts – as in her network project Technologies of HER: an interdisciplinary art, research and knowledge project about cyclical, rhythmic and matriarchal intelligences as well as primal forms of perception such as synaesthesia

She studied Fine and Media Arts at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she completed her doctorate in Art and Knowledge Transfer in 2010. During her Erasmus studies at the Kunsthøgskolen in Oslo, she deepened her interdisciplinary approach. Her artistic practice is also reflected in publications such as Alltagsobjekt Plastiktüte (Springer Wien New York) and The Artist is Resident (The Torri Verlag).
With her Synaisthesia – a term she coined herself to describe the shared perception of different sensory levels – Corell creates works of art that dissolve disciplines and open up new spaces for interaction and reflection.
