Helga Fassonaki
Fassonaki received her M.F.A. at Elam School of Fine Art in Auckland, New Zealand with an Intermedia and Sound Art focus and her B.F.A. at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo. Floating between worlds of experimental sound and visual art, Fassonaki's multidisciplinary practice approaches each of these worlds with insights gained from the other. Her practice, including her music projects, Metal Rouge and Yek koo, are informed by New York No Wave musicians and their defying of categorization, audience, and convention; the poetic, political and physical chants of Patti Smith; and the damaged sounds of New Zealand’s free noise music of the Le Jazz Non era for stretching the parameters of improvised music. Informed by such artists and their integration of art and music, she has created sound and art installations, group situations, films, and performances both domestically and internationally, including Ear&Eye Festival in Auckland, New Zealand alongside legendary sound artists Akio Suzuki and Phil Dadson, On Land Festival in San Francisco, EPMOA in Los Angeles, Blue Oyster Gallery in Dunedin, New Zealand, and a multitude of artist run spaces and venues throughout the country. She is also the cofounder of a new independent music label called Emerald Cocoon, which focuses on underground experimental, psychedelic, and avant garde music.
