Cordula Daus
is a writer-artist whose work explores place, sexuality, and the body. Language as material drives her process. Emerging from long-term field research, her practice often involves transdisciplinary collaborations with scientists and other artists. Her novel Sehr was published by Ritter Verlag in 2024. She is currently an Elise Richter PEEK Fellow at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, where she leads the artistic research project outerwoman. New episodes of the audio series outerwoman.xyz will soon premiere on Ö1 (Austrian Radio) and Radio Orange.

Since 2000, Daus has founded artist institutions such as S.OG Büro at Berlin/Alexanderplatz, BCNova! (The New Barcelona), and the New Society for Applied Toponymy. As part of these collective entities, she developed a series of artist books and experimental forms of publications such as Toponymisches Heft (Fantôme Verlag, Berlin). Her books and lecture performances have been presented at brut Vienna, Wiener Festwochen, Literaturhaus Wien, the Research Pavilion #3 (Venice), Centre d’Art Santa Mònica (Barcelona), Conceptual Poetics Day, Akademie der Künste (Berlin), rumbalotte Berlin, among others.

Together with choreographer Charlotta Ruth, Daus initiated the ongoing art project Questionology, which premiered in 2021 at brut Vienna. Daus also co-founded the Special Interest Group for Language-based Artistic Research (SIG/SAR) with Alexander Damianisch, Emma Cocker, and Lena Séraphin. Since 2019, Cocker, Daus, and Séraphin have facilitated a series of gatherings and events for artists and researchers, taking place both online and onsite at the Research Pavilion in Venice and at the University of Applied Arts Vienna.

Daus holds a PhD in Art from the University of Applied Arts Vienna, an MA in Digital Arts from Universitat Pompeu Fabra Barcelona, and an MA in Cultural Studies (Kulturwissenschaft), Art History, and Theater Studies from Humboldt University Berlin. She has been a researcher at the Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. Furthermore, she has taught at the University of Applied Arts Vienna, Muthesius University of Fine Arts Kiel, and the Literaturinstitut in Hildesheim, and has given lectures, workshops, and conference talks internationally.
