Barbis Ruder is a Viennese performance artist.

She was born in Heidelberg (D), and grew up in Erlangen (D), Garmisch-Partenkirchen (D), Kerava (FIN) and Hinterzarten (D). After living, studying and working in Freiburg (D), Helsinki (FIN), and Breda (NL), she went to Vienna (A) to start working as an artist.

Barbis Ruder uses her body and her artificial corporate bodies to mix topics like economy, work, intimacy and convention into complex, but also minimalistic and reduced compositions that take shape in performance, installation, video and sculpture. As fine artist she is both creating work for exhibition spaces as well as for the stage. Her performances are always staged and related to the variety of media and form: from the body to the moving image, sound, sculpture and installation in space.

Her work was awarded with the H13 price for performance of Kunstraum Niederoesterreich (2014), the art price of the archidiozese Freiburg (2015) and the honorary price of the Federal Ministery of Science, Research and Economy (2015). In 2017 she was scholarship holder of the Art Foundation Baden-Württemberg and received the START fellowship in media art. Moreover, she was nominated for hte Kardinal König Kunstpreis.

She lives and works in Vienna.
