Claudia Lomoschitz

Claudia Lomoschitz is a research-based artist, filmmaker, and choreographer currently serving as a university assistant and lecturer at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna, Department of Education in the Arts. She teaches courses such as Kunst und Kunstgeschichte im Kontext II and supervises bachelor theses, contributing significantly to art education and performance studies.

Her research and artistic practice are deeply interdisciplinary, focusing on embodied politics, reproductive fantasies, and queer-feminist historiographies. She investigates how bodies are politicized through performance, particularly in relation to lactation, death, care, and resistance under capitalism. Her work bridges art, science, and theory, engaging with quantum physics, biopolitics, and feminist epistemologies.

The body of her recent creative-scholarly output reveals a strong thematic focus on queer care practices, the materiality of the void, reproductive autonomy, and critiques of neoliberal health and consumer culture. Her performances and installations often use bodily fluids, molecular metaphors, and mythic narratives to destabilize normative understandings of life, death, and care.

Claudia Lomoschitz has presented her work internationally, including at MAK Vienna, Universitat Politècnica de València, Schwules Museum Berlin, and Angewandte Vienna. Her artistic projects have been exhibited at prominent venues such as brut Vienna, Belvedere 21, Tanzquartier Vienna, and Kunstraum Niederösterreich.

She is currently completing her dissertation on the cultural implications of lactation and queer nursing under the supervision of Elke Krasny, further solidifying her role as a scholar-artist at the intersection of performance, feminism, and cultural critique. She has co-produced works with SOAKED and brut Wien, supported by the City of Vienna’s Department of Cultural Affairs.
