contents We study C*-algebras generated by two partitions of unity subject to orthogonality relations governed by a bipartite graph which we also call "bipartite graph C*-algebras". These algebras generalize at the same time the C*-algebra $C^\ast(p,q)$ generated by two projections and the hypergraph C*-algebras of Trieb, Weber and Zenner. We describe alternative universal generators of bipartite graph C*-algebras and study partitions of unity in generic position associated to a bipartite graph. As a main result, we prove that bipartite graph C*-algebras are completely classified by their one- and two-dimensional irreducible representations which provides a first step towards a classification of the more general hypergraph C*-algebras.
