In collaboration with Medo Art Space (Vienna), HART is delighted to be a partner of the international project BODY EMBEDDING, initiated by Hongwei Duan and Ursula Maria Probst. The project is launched as an artist-in-residence programme in cooperation with Southeast European cultural institutions and in which artists from various geopolitical regions of Asia and Europe participate, the canon of her/historiography is reformulated through a "herstory", through narrative structures derived from a situated production of experience and knowledge.

About Nicole Sabella
Nicole Sabella is an artist, cultural scientist and art educatrix engaging in performative strategies that are strongly informed by queer feminist thinking and collaborative practices. Through them she investigates the sociopolitical bonds between body, language, voice, sound, and space, and the way they unfold in constantly changing constellations or “choreo:spheres“. Her work is driven by the basic forces of rhythm, humor and failure (nowadays known as glitch).
After her studies in Art history, Czech studies and Middle and Eastern European history at University of Regensburg (DE) and Masaryk University Brno (CZ), she received a Master degree in Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts, Vienna (AT) in 2016. From 2018 to 2020 she has held positions as University assistant and as lecturer for performance art at Art University Linz (AT). Her latest work series TENTECHULAR DIS:PLEASURES has been presented in solo exhibitions at Mz*Baltazar’s Lab, Vienna (AT) and periscope, Salzburg (At) in 2021. Other works have been shown at Battersea Arts Centre, London/GB, Prague Quadrennial, Prague/CZ, Impuls Tanz Festival, Vienna/AT, New Synagogue, Zilina/SK, and on the radio.
