Marlies Pöschl (b. 1982) is an artist, filmmaker, curator and educator.
Pöschl is currently based in Vienna (AT) and works internationally. Pöschl also holds an assistant professor position in the department for Art and Time: Media at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. As co-founder and former chairperson of The Golden Pixel Cooperative, an association for moving images, she has helped develop an infrastructure of solidarity in a predominantly individualised cultural landscape. She strives to make the film and art industry a more inclusive and diverse environment and is therefore active in several feminist associations such as FC Gloria and dieregisseur*innen.
Shifting between artistic, curatorial and educational approaches, Pöschl is interested in art as a form of knowledge production. Since 2018, Pöschl has focused on ways in which western societies respond to the ‘care crisis’ through development of digital technologies or forms of migrations. Having worked with 16 mm, video, virtual and augmented reality, the use of different media and in her work always is a result of conceptual considerations. Pöschl strives to create a specific recording dispositive for each of her films.
Marlies Pöschl has received various prizes for her work: in 2023 she was granted the state scholarship for media art, in 2022 she was a fellow at Akademie Schloss Solitude. In 2021 she was awarded with the Prize for Innovative Cinema (Diagonale) as part of The Golden Pixel Cooperative as well as the Young Artist’s Award (City of Vienna) for her individual work.
