    Statement

    Kyle Giacomo has two primary artistic practices, working in both paint and photography. His paintings extend from broken, expressionistic, cartoon-like doodles. The sketches that make up the final work are a compendium of imagery, a fusion of images and non-images. He views them as a type of organic pop art as if the forest grew images instead of fungus. Each portrait tells an indeterminate but felt story. Giacomo uses an indeterminate method to arrive at images that are both free-form and recognizable, excessive and restrained, complex and naive. He tends to use bright, limited palette colors that form a kind of quilt. Giacomo hopes that the art communicates an energy that emerges out of a fractured image saturated landscape.

    His work in photography has focused primarily on nature themed conceptual works, such as a (re)staging of Duchamp’s Unhappy Readymade. Unhappy Readymade is a multi-year documentation of a geometry book hanging in a tree as weather and wind orchestrate it’s transformation and return to the forest floor. Another project, The Chair, is a series of photographs of a chair in various states of wilderness. Giacomo has also collaborated with another artist on a photographic performance/study of Roland Barthes’ A Lover’s Discourse.

    In all of his artistic practices, he draws on my experiences with wilderness and our seemingly incongruous place within it. How a wilderness both moves through nervous systems and visual terrains.

    GlogauAIR Project

    While I have been devoted to an artistic practice for many years, I have not had the ability to focus intently on my art. I’d like to step away from my work as a non-profit community-based educator/manager to pursue a focused artistic practice. The residency program at GlogauAIR will give me the opportunity to continue to build a focused body of work and continue a year of artistic inquiry. I’m looking forward to also using the time to develop new project ideas.

    I’m very interested in a time to work and focus on my art. I also would love the opportunity to work alongside and with fellow artists. I believe that GlogauAIR would offer both of these opportunities. I like that the residency stresses the community happenings, events, and exhibitions. I believe this experience will have a lifelong positive impact. I also love the opportunity to experience the inspirational atmosphere of Berlin.

    Statement

    Ismael Iglesias. 1974. Durango (Bizkaia). Lives and Works in Bilbao (Basque Country).

    Iglesias participated in the Espacio Abisal project and resided in the Delfina Foundation in London. He is a multidisciplinary artist who is able to build his work with his own style. His proposals, halfway between painting and installation have been shown in several group and solo exhibitions in Bilbao, Barcelona, Madrid, London, Basel, Los Angeles, Tijuana or Beijing.

    His artwork, highly effective on a visual level, derives from the systematic search within the newest technology. The intention is not so much to capture images in order to canvas them, but to comprehend and accept their articulation speed. This paradigmatic search for the essentials and for the memento in its various stages, allows the artist to blend the achievements of traditional pictorial avant-gardism with the computer screens opaque luminescence by means of systematic fragmentation.

    Annalist and composer Ismael Iglesias shows his own ideas of logic and existence with a code that transcends and detaches from time and space. He advances an aesthetic language with high doses of idiosyncrasy and describes the natural spirit of simplicity. A world full of experiences and visual information to which the artist seeks to achieve by producing a wide range of images and signs. The graphic medium, new technologies, music and audiovisual media reinforces his particular concept of contemporary art. Faced with a strong artistic commitment, Iglesias has established himself as a complex creator who presents a formal maze searching for an intimate essence. He develops original readings in his perspectives and innovate conclusions through the plurality of languages, styles and media giving more independence to the elements. From the restructuring of the conventional approaches to painting, its combinations are endless. His compositions are projected as illusions suggested by the impetuous imagination armed with the power of colour and overlapping with mixed impressions. The basque painter exhibits an imaginative and changing practice which facilitates hybrid systems that allow him to play with several pieces at once, without leaving the synthesis of previous work.

    Error (Controlled accidents)

    As Keith Moxey points out, the images – as vivid, visual objects that escape history and are not confined to the context of their specific original cultural situation – retain the power to affect the present irrespective of the moment of its creation. The gaze – necessarily conditioned by concrete visual compositions – on new images implies constant connections that transcend the intentions of its authors, continually creating new semantic dimensions and rereading them on our visual-and narrative-global interpretation.

    Fabrics and plastics, and specifically the wrinkled surfaces, are the starting point and the leitmotif of the series trashpaintings, the result of the incessant research on the development and construction of the pictorial image. Immersed in the tradition of Western painting, the concept of folding and its plastic embodiment allows me to give more attention to the discipline and question the limits between representation and reality by putting the focus on the realistic reproduction of a surface – tissue, plastic, metal – which in turn envelops the ultimate reality, which acts as a metaphor for the metaphysical search – mystical or rational – of the archetype hidden behind sensory perception – not by chance from an etymological point of view the truth – Alétheia – means unhiding, in relation to the action of undressing or revealing.

    Fascinated by the plastic values of the cloths of the dresses, curtains or curtains, fundamental elements both by the shape and by the color of the compositions of numerous paintings and ancient sculptures – from the folds and minimize bendings bathed by a light Spectral of the monumental colorful robes of El Greco to the meticulous pleats, folds and retracts of the garments of the saints of Zurbarán through the furrows, nooks and marble roughness of the Roman or baroque sculptures, such as the Holy Teresa in Bernini’s ecstasy –, I try to transmit, through the practice of zoom, a self-autonomy giving rise to complex volumetric surfaces of multiple evocations where the classic and the futuristic coexist – the cybernetic, the theatrical, or the enigmatic micro and Macro Worlds – At the same time.

    “The artist does not represent, redraws reality.” Starting from the controlled accident approach of David Alfaro Siqueiros, through a process based on the random gesture of bending or creasing with its consequent shadows and light degradation, the focus of attention is placed on the random transformation of the moldable and tactile qualities of the plane and materials. When approaching tradition from the contemporary – and vice versa – in a visual and conceptual hermeneutic circle, cartographies arise from the irregularity of impeccable technical invoice and photographic character in a sort of hyper-realistic abstraction – nothing is more unreal than Realism – which responds to the philosophical question about knowledge and the representation of reality, approaching the divine, from the Poetics of the wrinkle.

    Statement

    In Berlin we make pancakes. Or “crepes” as Pearl calls them — although I don’t believe our batter was thin enough. I’ve just arrived off the long flight to Germany to the home of Lucy and Pearl. An artist mother and an artist child. Their apartment is an eclectic hodgepodge of half finished projects, pastels, cushions, and creations. Lucy is running late, as usual, and Pearl and I are in charge of breakfast. We decide the pancakes would be better with the addition of blue sprinkles. The sugar crystals creating an indigo watercolor within the batter.

    The three of us crowd around the tiny enamel table in the narrow kitchenette. Shoving aside a box of this week’s produce — carrots, onions, browning clementines, and eggs surrender to our bounty. The thick stack of fresh hotcakes waft a lovers tune; simple ingredients of egg, flour, and water fib promises of full bellies, full hearts, sustained energy, and success. Pearl shows me how the children in Europe enjoy the thin patisserie – sprinkled with a mix of brown sugar, cinnamon, and a squeeze of lemon. I sip a cup of coffee while they eat; the sugary, carb-loaded, and palatable meal intimidating me. How can a plate of food be both nourishing and dangerous? My cheeks grow red and hot as I watch the syrupy, blue bites pass happy, moist lips.

    My paintings are a visual recording of the primal, sensual, and sometimes violent need to be with others. I draw inspiration from moments of intimacy and sociability, moments where I yearn for time to last forever, moments that make me nostalgic for the present. My inspirations include the crowded, cluttered bedroom of a friend’s NYC apartment—a memory that stands in for the crush I would instantaneously form; bowls of fruit in various locations I’ve inhabited; moments spent alone or moments spent with others; touches, sounds, hardnesses, and softnesses; birthdays, breakfasts, and bacon—consumption that is both enjoyed and laden with anxiety.

    GlogauAIR Project

    While At GlogauAIR I will utilize the time, space, and immersive experience to further explore ideas of intimacy and isolation; material and mark-making; indulgence and constraint surrounding sociability and food. While abroad, babysitting a 9 year old girl named Pearl, I was introduced to an enchanting and tantalizing world of candy shops and toy stores around Europe — and in response, my own fears and tribulations involving the food that aesthetically begs to be enjoyed. Visually, I collected the colors, logos, textures, consistencies, characters, and chaos that now voluminously fill the paintings and sculptures I create.

    I am interested in the dichotomy within a plate of food, how a meal can be both nourishing and dangerous, or how an object can appear good enough to eat yet forbidden to be touched. I am experimenting with materials, mediums, and techniques that recreate iconic snack-food brands in consistency and character, utilizing the cakes, candies, and confectioneries I desire and deny myself as an art making material.

    With a residency at GlogauAIR I will continue utilizing new materials such as clay, glue, mache, and resin to expand the dimensionality of my work. I am interested in the result of altering the environment of which my work is viewed. What if an exhibition smelled of blueberry scented markers? Or the distinct smell of a waffle cone? Imagine a gallery floor covered in confetti and faux peppermint candies wrapped in cellophane that crunched under a viewer’s shoe. Consider an exhibition setup with tables of maple, bacon donuts slathered in sweet, sticky frosting, bowls of soured candies, fountains of chocolate and Diet Cherry Cola accompanied with a DO NOT TOUCH sign.

    Statement

    Charmaine Poh (b.1990) is a Chinese-Singaporean artist, photographer, and writer based between Singapore and Berlin. Her practice combines photography with research, text, video, and installation, focusing on issues of memory, gender, youth, and solitude in the Asian context. Often working with the form of narrative portraiture, she considers the performance of self and the layers of identity we build. She works with communities in a collaborative process that holds space for introspection, intimacy, and sharing. She is interested in the stories that make us who we are. She has showcased her work through platforms such as M1 Singapore Fringe Festival, the Singapore International Photography Festival, Objectifs Centre for Photography and Filmmaking, The Taipei Arts Festival, The International Center of Photography, Photoville, WeTransfer, Channel News Asia, and The New York Times. Her work has been supported by institutions such as the National Arts Council (Singapore), Exactly Foundation, and the Global Gender Parity Initiative. She graduated from Tufts University with an B.A. in International Relations, and is currently pursuing an M.A. in Visual and Media Anthropology at the Freie Universität Berlin

    GlogauAIR Project

    I wish to work on a new media project looking at the manifestations and consequences of inter-generational trauma. Consisting of photographs, collage, text, and installation, the project takes its line of inquiry from the intergenerational transfer of trauma phenomenon, first recognized in the 1960s in the children of Holocaust survivors. Since then, it has been identified in several groups around the world, including children of refugees in Cambodia and Vietnam. The lack of treatment and resolution among adults can alter the genes in their children, causing trauma to literally be passed down from generation to generation. More broadly, mental health and self-care has risen in visibility in recent years, along with the recognition that our childhoods play a significant role in perceiving and reacting to the world around us. Considering the socio-political circumstances in Berlin, particularly in reference to the wave of migration since 2015 and the traumas that migrants have undergone, the project speaks to the multiple, complex ways in which individual healing needs to take place in order to shape society for the better. My practice lies in ethnography and the observation and analysis of lived experiences. Throughout my time in Berlin, I will be calling for participants to be interviewed, to contribute text that has shaped their childhood, as well as to make collaborative portraits of themselves and their families. Through collage, I will be adding layers of time onto their portraits, compressing history and the present. The final project will be an interactive installation piece that will travel throughout different contexts, creating a collection of shared humanity.

    Statement

    Growing up half of her life in Mexico City, Mexico and the other half in San Antonio, Texas, Dani Toral became very aware of her misplacement in both society’s standards. Toral rejected her body and was constantly challenged about her ethnic identity as she struggled to exist in a society so rigid in its expectations. It is through her work and her process in painting and sculpture that she is beginning to understand and explore the experiences she has had in her body as a Mexican-American woman. Through bold mark-making and vibrant color palettes that reflect her rich Hispanic culture, she takes ownership of her ethnicity by titling her work in Spanish, thus conquering the doubt she felt in her physical body and racial identity. Toral seeks to balance her appreciation and desire to reconnect with Mesoamerican History, Mexican Folk Art, and Mexican architecture, while dismantling the visage of whiteness that society expects of her.

    Toral’s work ranges from small scale to large scale paintings, as well as sculptural objects and ceramic vessels that she creates with the intention to invoke a sense of warmth when experiencing the work. Toral is attracted to her most uncomfortable memories as a way to bring pleasure to that discomfort through subtle humor. She is also interested in the feeling of comfort, externally and internally, literal and emotional- a sense of fulfillment, like a bowl of soup or the embrace of a mother. Toral finds these moments of fulfillment through painting symbols and objects that stem from her mother culture, such as a traditional dish or a memorable landscape. Working sculpturally has been an integral evolution of her painting process. Through creating spaces of comfort and physical embrace – a home or an inviting atmosphere, she seeks to evoke an all-encompassing sense of familiarity and warmth in the viewer.

    GlogauAIR Project

    I became lost in terms of what to create, particularly after graduating from art college and losing the community and creative environment that nurtured my creativity. A recent trip back to my home country of Mexico initiated my realization that I yearned for connection with my culture and the rich history of my heritage that inspired my work. This residency would be an incredible opportunity for my career as an artist to flourish by allowing me to have the facilities to create my work, connect with peers to think critically with, and expand my creative practice. I seek to learn from the world around me and confront the doubts that obstruct my self-development.

    Through this residency, I aim to create a project specifically connected with Mexican Folk Art, and the traditional techniques I have yet to explore such as paper mache, cut paper, and fresco painting. With this new exploration of my culture’s art history and techniques, I also seek to contextualize a cultural narrative that I believe is lost in the contemporary fine art setting. If given the opportunity, I would like to begin my time at GlogauAIR’s program by honoring my grandfather, Tito, through a decorative altar displayed during the traditional holiday of Dia de Los Muertos (Day of the Dead). Tito was someone who taught me how to appreciate beauty in all aspects of life. He cultivated a rose garden and formed a relationship with this beautiful object and, with his care, it spoke back. He believed that the buds and vibrant colors of the petals expressed promise, new beginnings, and hope while its thorns represent defense, loss, and protection. When Tito passed, his love of roses lived on in the way I approached traditional ideas of loss. In Mexico, everything is celebrated- even death. Prior to Spanish colonization in the 16th century,Dia de Los Muertostook place at the beginning of summer, before it gradually became associated with Halloween, and celebrated on November 1st and 2nd to coincide with Western Christianity. Coincidentally, Tito passed on October 31st and, while Halloween is a dark night of terror and mischief, Dia de Los Muertos festivities unfold over two days in an explosion of color and life-affirming joy.

    Fortunately, the holiday falls on November 2nd, which is one-third of the way through GlogauAIR’s program. I would love to make this event a communal interaction between my fellow artists in the residency and invite them to participate by also honoring their deceased loved ones in this celebration of life. Traditions connected with the holiday include building private altars (calledofrendas), honoring the deceased usingcalaveras (elaborately decorated sugar skulls), Aztec marigolds, and the favorite foods and beverages of the departed. For the main installation of the project, I want to create a monumental altar flooded with flowers made from paper mache, papel picado (cut paper) and paint – like a cascade of ornamentation.

    In the second part of the residency, I plan to continue delving into Mexican folklore, in particular, El Árbol de la Vida (The Tree of Life), and explore the clay sculptures created in central Mexico, especially in the municipality of Metepec, State of México. Traditionally, these sculptures consist of biblical symbols, however, I am interested in the way that historical symbology tells a story, depict a scene, or forms a theme through the use of maximum ornamentation. Although I am interested in ceramics, I would like to explore the idea of these Trees of Life through other mediums such as painting as well as installation. With the same concept of the altar, I will create a space of narrative through these trees of life.

    I believe that in an environment that preserves history while embracing contemporary perspectives such as Berlin, I can cultivate my vision as an artist. Though thinking critically is an incredibly important skill to exercise for my own work, I have always cherished the valuable and unexpected feedback I have received from viewers and art critics alike. The continually evolving nature of Berlin is an environment I wish to be a part of and grow in. My multidisciplinary background also gives me the skills to explore new materials and techniques that I may not have encountered in the U.S. Though living in an unfamiliar environment will have its challenges at first, I believe my determination and perseverance in new situations will aid me in overcoming any adversity and allow me to serve my purpose and flourish as an artist.

    Statement

    In my painting practice I investigate the impact of history and remembrance on an individual level. I use the medium of painting to build a new structure for the reflection of memory and the impact of images on the way memory is conceived. I look at how major historic events, such as the Second World War or nuclear bombing, affect society on the level of imagery; certain images stick with us through time and become icons in the collective memory.

    In my paintings, human figures are cut out brutally from their surroundings. Portraits are formed of collected images and the surface of a painting becomes a façade. Working with these different layers, I question the complexity of the real in an age of manufactured copies. I draw parallels and create juxtapositions between historical facts about war and the notion of (my own) family history, historical traumas and contemporary problems of the trustworthiness and value of images.

    FUTURE MEMORY

    FUTURE MEMORY is the name of the project I would like to realise during the residency.

    The project started in 2018 and is based on one image: a nuclear reactor container from 1950 in the USA. Dividing this one image into smaller parts reflects the way in which the process of nuclear fission, a heavy unstable atomic nucleus, divides or splits into two or more lighter nuclei. This releases radioactive radiation that can have a lethal effect on organisms. The project is an illustration of the way in which the trauma of nuclear, and other, wars in the post-war era are still felt all over the world.

    Because the paintings split up and live in parts, the work itself functions in a similar way. The smaller works, each with a painting of a detail of the photo, have been separated from the large painting and exist independently of it, and independently of each other. Other paintings are created by using the residue of cut outs to reflect on the aftereffect of the radioactivity. Like nuclear fission, their information spreads like energy, unrecognisable as separate parts, but with the story of their origin as a reminder for those who choose to tell the story. The information is distorted in this way, and its reliability is called into question. A tension arises between the factual information of the cropped photograph and the information that is transmitted via memory and stories, where neither the factual information nor the memory leads to a reliable image.

    The residency at GlogauAIR provides an environment in which I can deepen my research into the historic background of the Cold War and specific themes like manufactured copies, repetition, fragmentation and the representation of the image as a proof of truth. My aim with the project would be to question the value of the image as remembrance within the field of painting and specifically within the project FUTURE MEMORY.

    Statement

    Originally from Taiwan, Yang Shen began exploring space installation and film after she graduated from Parsons The New School of Design. She transited from her major in Fashion Textile Design and started exploring the emotions in electronic music through visual art.

    GlogauAIR Project

    I would like to further explore the topic, lost of communication with modern technology and ways that I can further enhance audiences experience with strings and nails installation. For this residency, I would like to explore the possibility of combining live performance (utilizing lights and shadows) with filmed video art projection on the physical strings installation.

    The tender emotions I find in electronic music plays a big part in my creative endeavors. Therefore, my work were all strongly influenced by the tracks that I love. The city of Berlin provides me a chance to further explore that freedom of expression in both art and music.

    I have attended the previous opening this year during 48 hours Neukoelln, and I feel that the space and curation at GLOGAUAIR would be a perfect chance for me to express myself as an artist.

    CV Summary

    I feel that the issues that our society are facing – political, religious, or racism all developed because we fail to communicate with compassion. The world we live in now connects us on a very surface level. Information is bombarding us every day and nothing is being filtered nor processed before it goes back out again.

    As humans, we should connect by being empathetic to each other. Yet often times we are too soon to judge and to draw conclusions. By utilizing space installation and video art, I am able to make people feel the power of being emotionally connected again. Art and music are the only two languages that have no boundaries.

    Statement

    My art is based on the confluence of natural materials and found relics. Materiality is critical to my work and often the starting place for inspiration; newspaper clippings from letter exchanges with my grandmother, cheesecloth reminiscent of the curdling milk hanging from my mother’s bathroom sinks, snips of hair from poorly planned haircutting experiments. These become the foundation for intimately curated microcosms. From an early age, I spent a great deal of time in nature. Growing up in Rural Russia and then upstate New York, I was always rescuing creatures; birds with broken wings, squirrels that needed weaning, and bugs of every shape and size. Summers were punctuated with time outside, collecting plants and pods. These shapes instill nostalgia in me like old photographs do for others. By capturing these objects and transforming them through drawing or painting, they are given an opportunity to live on in a different form. Artist Ana Mendieta once said of her work: My art is grounded in the belief of one universal energy which runs through everything: from insect to man, from man to spectre, from spectre to plant from plant to galaxy… Similarly, the process of returning to an original state, the cycle of life, which connects us all, is of great inspiration to me. Working within drawing, painting, and sculpture I choose what medium feels most appropriate for any given project, often times combining multiple. I rarely set out with a concrete plan, and am interested in the places in my art that evolve through the process of working; where elements crack, drip, ooze, expose. The sense of interior and exterior is often present, both in the physical sense of elements that can be explored and illustrations of interiors such as the underlying biomechanics in living beings. I strive for a type of viewing experience that provides more than a unilateral exchange. By challenging the notion of size, by blurring the lines of what is real and what is drawn, I ask the viewer to be a participant in my world.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Berlin holds conflicting significance for my family. I grew up looking at a photograph of my grandfather triumphantly cheering in front of the Brandenburg gates after the liberation of the city during WWII. Both sets of my grandparents were in Germany for a time as part of the Soviet army following the war, their recollections some of the most troubling and rewarding of their lives. On my first opportunity to visit this past September, it felt like a strange homecoming to a place I had never been. I was struck by how much of the city had been destroyed, the care with which history is preserved and part of the everyday dialogue. No other city I have been is there such a present sense of overcoming adversity. My inspiration lays at the intersection of life cycles; processes of decay and renewal and the interconnectivity of these processes between humans and our natural world. Grounded in the confluence of nature and found relics, materials collected become transformed as the basis for intimately curated worlds. In this new work, root systems have dual meaning in their manifestation. Anthropomorphic in form, they symbolize a connection to the body. The term rooted speaks to becoming grounded, anchoring, and deeply taking hold in the world. Our individual paths are interwoven with the experiences of others. The delicate suspended skin imprints capture a moment in time, an intersection of lives, becoming part of our stories.

    Statement

    The first works of Maxime Thoreau take inspiration into the reality. Everything began by searching pictures on internet to make a kind of database. Then he takes some of these pictures, sketches or technical drawing to reproduce in sculpture a technical object. It means that some objects whose shape are just the result of their function. The interest is to find some object who are not designed by an aesthetic research like domestical object. By using a pre-existing shape Maxime Thoreau try to minimize his impact on his work, like an anonymous sculpture. Because of a very important work on the material, the artist almost became his own craftsman. Recently the origin of his sculptures is quite different. The duo « form/function » still there but the notion of fiction is added. Some old sculpture’s pictures are added into the database and some part of them are used to produce some new artworks. The technical object is not just replicated, sometime it’s kind of a fake, like an imitation. The artist also take inspiration in the cinema, especially in the science-fiction style. A kind of movie where the object are definitely designed to look like something logical and technical: a functional fiction or a fictional function?

    GlogauAIR Project

    Form follow function is the formula formulated by the American architect Louis Sullivan. The form derives from the function. It summarizes the architect’s thought that the size of a building, its mass, its spatial grammar and all other characteristics of its appearance must derive solely from its function. “My sculptures follow this creed. The shapes I create all have an industrial or technical origin. They are silhouettes of objects, tools, whose form is solely linked to their function (engine part, technical building, dam, electric pylon). All of them are reproduced in scales and materials different from reality in order to produce a sculptural fiction of functional origin and formal end”.

    The functionalist formula of Louis Sullivan originated at Vitruvius and his triptych utilitas (comfort), venustas (beauty) and firmitas (solidity). The project of residence is to adapt this formula in the form of three sculptures responding to these functionalist principles. The origin of these sculptures will be in Berlin architecture, especially in its industrial architecture. The first part of the residence will be allocated to an observation of my environment and to the search for this specific architecture. Then the collected images will be used as the basis of the sculpture work. I usually produce on a large scale. This will not be the case for this project, which I think requires a more reasonable dimension. I also want to play fully on this idea of triptych and to think about sculptures that could be hung on the wall and not laid on the floor as usual. The report to the reference image will then be more present.

    Statement

    I regard my work as diagrams of extra dimensions, of geology that is hard to perceive as a human being without specific engineering technology, and of my geographical and psychological unconscious. The artwork is the reification of externalized unperceivable realms. Also, it is the capture of the continual alternation of unperceivable spheres and perceptible spheres. At the moment of perceiving the unperceivable layer, a boundary between the perceptible and the imperceptible is generated. At the same time as the perceivable becomes recognized as the manifestation of the unperceivable, the boundary becomes fluid. The moment of awakening, the moment of formation and transformation of the boundary modifies the form and the structure of space. That is, my work can become an element to animate the space. Not only I regard the presence of my artwork itself as an element for creating boundaries in space, but also it formally shows the relation between space and a boundary. Most of my sculptures have boundaries formed by holes, crease, seams, and colors. They are the marks of the creation of space. They eliminate, redefine, or blur interior and exterior.

    GlogauAIR Project

    During the GlogauAir Artist in Residency program, I do the project, “Inter-Spaces.” This is my artistic practice of the formation and systematization of interspaces that connect and separate spaces. Various possibilities of the layout of passages and walls were studied and designed for the project. The passages function as media to link one place to another. They also divide a space into parts while creating boundaries of the divided spaces. The walls can be the structural elements for forming the passages and also can determine the shapes of the passages. This project is an example to visualize spatialization and structuralization of interspaces. In an aspect of production process and materials, epoxy putty, silicone sheets, strings, wire mesh, plaster bandages, and acrylic paint could be used for hand-made sculptures. The sculptures also could be made with digital production tools and be materialized with 3D printers.
