Column One

Column One is a German art collective and label founded in Berlin in the early 1990s, active in industrial, experimental, and multimedia contexts. The collective operates across music, performance, and visual art, maintaining a consistently transgressive and anti-commercial stance toward their work and its distribution.

They have released numerous recordings on their own label and in collaboration with other experimental music imprints, producing work that draws from industrial music, noise, concrete poetry, and found sound. Their performances and events engage with the politics of spectacle and the relationship between art and social control.
