Deconstructing and researching his relationship with the piano has been a focal point of his work over the past years. As an instrumentalist, Marlko’s creative identity has been so closely tied to the instrument that dealing with its absence often results in an impediment. However, Marko’s performative imperative demanded him to engage his own body on stage and also to explore the possibilities of sound manipulation. At the moment he is dealing with the interaction of two bodies in space: the piano and his own body.

I was born and raised in Venezuela (1988) to a Croatian father and an Italian mother. Regardless of a happy childhood, full of mixtures and contrasts, home has always been a virtual place for me, and the feeling of belonging an abstract phenomenon that constantly demands questioning and reinventing. The search for a way to express myself spontaneously engaged me with music and later took me to Croatia, where I developed and studied as a classical pianist. Although music has always had an essential role in my life, it soon became obvious I needed to explore my own physicality on stage, and the aesthetic possibilities offered by the visual arts. It turned out that technology and live electronics functioned as a bridge to articulate all the diversity I felt I needed. Movement, music theatre, photography, performance art, composition, improvisation, installation performances, they all flourished after I moved to The Netherlands back in 2013. Nowadays my artistic focus is set on interdisciplinary performances, and more recently, the exploration of the installation format and collaborations related to photography and sculpture, always connecting and re-connecting with sonic experiences. My research is motivated by approximations to exuberant aesthetics, human identity, the body, and metaphysical aspects of our existence. A connection to the piano and my interest in live electronics is constantly pushing me to find new sound dimensions involving the use of software and sensors, in an attempt to re-articulate my personal experience and explore the relationships between the instrument and my body.
GlogauAIR Project
The piece is an exploration of the relationship between a pianist and a piano. This relationship is taken out of its music-making context and represented in space as the interaction of two bodies, two objects. Their interaction is characterized by their difference in dimension and mass, as well as the significance of the actions of pulling and endlessly rotating. Even if pianists never take their instruments with them, having to literally “carry” the piano makes the pianist’s role comparable to the one of Sisyphus. However, both bodies share aspects in common: both have interventions, such as the piano leg and the fabrics around the pianist’s body; both bodies are exposed (the piano lid is removed, and the pianist’s chest is naked); both are “monitored” by mics. By suppressing the music-making aspect, the installation focuses on the objective physical interaction, and its resulting sound. Moreover, we could say the soundscape is created out of existing shared “inner realities”: it is as natural for a piano to generate string related vibrations when moved, as it is for a human body to have a heartbeat and breath. The Rondeau Over the last months I became fascinated with the format of an installation, and how it removes most of the performative rules of interaction between performers and audience. More specifically, the ritual of music and its codexes were completely absent, opening up new perceptual opportunities. Connecting with my personal investigation of my relationship with the piano, I got intrigued by the idea of a pianist manipulating the piano as an object in a (non musical) space, incessantly. The development of this idea and the wish of a repetitive scenario led me to define the movement as a never-ending circular one, which firstly connected with the rondeau as a circulating dance form, and later to the well-known music form that deals with the repetition of thematic material. Rondeau became then a possibility to exemplify the representability of music, transposing structural components into the space and body and then back to soundscape. It monitors the sound of non-musical actions and organizes them in the form of a rondeau. The structure of the piece coincides with the form of a classical five-part rondo (ABACA), organizing and articulating all the generated material created during performance: speed, direction and intensity of the turning, choreographic aspects of the performer i.e. decisions regarding what and how to do with the body, and organizing the generated sounds and their amplification and processing. The resulting soundscape is an ever-going machine-like sound (the piano rotating) with reminiscence of vibrating piano strings accompanied by aleatoric rhythmic patterns created by the vital signs of the performer. This sounds are amplified and (subtly) effected live to create new textures connected to specific sections of the rondeau. Once sent to the speakers, the room becomes an immersive sound space through which the visitors can navigate. Time will be set within the context of movement and trajectory; the rondeau could then for example take the circumference as a fixed reference to determine its duration and organize sound, dividing it to create its different sections (ABACA).

Today, my artistic work refers to the natural world. In it I question the materiality with which I work, the power of images, the use of the senses. I work creating a structure that interweaves the strength of the material with the visible, my personal experiences and the experiences of those whom my work challenges.
In this process I show an underlying premise: the matter is alive, that is why I consider it an active component of the pictorial practice, which is especially noticeable in its manifest expansion during contemporaneity.
I am interested in the fusion between different representations of nature; also in exploring an instictive “sixth sense”, which I think is a quality of the natural world, which makes purity and beauty its primordial elements and which I feel closely linked with the intuitive process present in my painting.
Since landscape has been modified by degrading actions, for which man is responsible and whose consequences are largely irreversible, I believe that my art practice has the capacity to repair and take care of this world. Landscape has always been one of the most prominent genres, today it has become something more than the perception of the place around us. In the contemporary scene, it is the undisputed protagonist whenever it tells us that life on a horizon without seas and skies, in a world without life or colour, is meaningless.

Mainly site specific, my work is dealing with the context, often a work which literally takes place, mostly contextual, creating a dialog with the space where it is shown. The architecture, the post modern references, the use of simple materials, are core to the work. My drawings, wall drawings and architectural installations reflect a perception of space as map, a living space and place for the body, with a translation of space which is both physical and metaphysical. On one hand, lines, plans and volumes propose a concrete experience of space, whereas on the other, semantic superimposition, big scale photos, and fake drawn perspectives suggest an imaginary space that doubles our first apprehension of reality. My practice is focusing on the perception of the architecture, by building up installations that involves the viewer into the work. The layout, removal, transparency, mirroring and folding of materials are recurrent notions in the work, allowing to approach architecture through a dialog with its structural elements, also by involving the notion of process, in which the gesture, often brings life to objects and space. This combination of formal riguour and physicality enables me to have a practice both constructed and sensitive, where the space can also appear as a mental projection. My work reflects upon the place one’s lives in or/and the place where you show the work, and questions how they are inhabiting us. Responding to places, I’m trying to build works that could relate to a sensitive architecture, involving the notions of displacement, memory and place, deconstruction and reconstruction, so that the audience can practice and experiment those spaces in various ways

My practice revolves around the experience ‘looking’ as a reflexive self awareness of seeing. I work with painting to investigate the complexities of observation, individual perception and forms of representation. The object retains a central role in my work, both as the observed subject matter depicted within my paintings and as the material objecthood of the painting itself. I believe painting acts as a cipher for individual perception, while its limited borders even simulate our viewfinder-like vision. Through my work I intend to evoke a questioning of where an object ends, the subject begins, and how these dualisms mingle and coalesce within the space of painting.

GlogauAIR Project
While at GlogauAIR I plan to continue developing a lexicon of forms which reappear throughout my work. These forms develop from found objects, painting’s history and personal narrative, ranging from geometric blocks and tabletops to moons, window frames and masks. They have become recurring motifs that retain figurative familiarity and narrative, yet are abstracted from their origins through methods of repetition and obfuscation. During my residency I intend to continue working with these specific forms while collecting new shapes and objects from my surroundings.

Traveling and moving back and forth in between two cultures (Korea and U.S.) brings me to dynamic range of people’s and things’ stories and sceneries. From a decade of such experience, I found fascinating and treasurable of widely different perspectives existing within one space. From this city, building, and room to the next one, or just from this point which my eyes and ears are held to an inch away, the size and range of differences in perspective can vary physically, culturally or conceptually, and it yields myriads of windows to approach a reality. My artistic interest and practice lies on top of revealing these multitude of portraits drawn by different point of views hence, continuously redefining the fluctuating existential qualities of time and space in contemporary techno-media society. Through art of sound composition, science of acoustics and muti-media technology, I seek for simple, intuitive yet creative structures and patterns as an instrument to conceive and apprehend each moment of the reality as its own phenomenon.
Mint Park
GlogauAIR Project
Based on the idea of altering and re-interpreting current space and time and making it into something else, a plane which bridges between reality and digital space. I have been using landscape data of made by people and objects in a room, to create and control sounds and visuals, which are senses that we reference time and space. The received data and sound can be recorded from the space of performance but also at the same time it will be distributed in visual format over the net through a log-in server as virtual human imprint.
In a way, this is an instrument, interface, and a platform designed for collaborations, where different mediums and different time qualities are seamlessly welded. The project will be similar to my previous work, Matrix Chamber(2015), except this time, it will be more intricately designed in terms of its sound, visuals and interactivity with the audience. In other words, the instrument can be custom to artists or user in control of the space. The idea is to create a day long round-the-clock event consists of short performances through out day to indicate passing of every hour or change of time and space in artistic measurement.
During the residency I will be gathering a handful of artists from musicians to choreographers and visual artists to participate and be part of the installation and performance. I will also be building simple and light physical objects which audience can interact with.

My visual work is characterized by establishing a reflexive relationship between everyday textile objects, time and space. Detailed observation of the object, that is, the material from which it is made, the fibers and the technique with which it was constructed, and the object itself – these are the principal guides that I analyze to create my works. Detailed investigation of the principal characteristics that I find in an object allows me to manipulate it, so that later it generates a point of strangeness that will capture the viewer. For most this is no different than what one already knows, neither in technical terms nor materials, but equally it will feel that it is changing the look of something that one thought they knew. Throughout my career I have specialized in learning different textiles techniques with the intent of translating this knowledge and technical details to contemporary art issues, to give these made by hand actions a new feeling.

My project will consist of the space available in a set of garments (approximately 10 to 15), which will be taken over by the unraveling technique described above. These items will be installed at the height and in a place where they will be perceived as representing a human body in space. Then, I look through the fray, creating transparencies, veils that allow observing behind the same garment, which is possible since, as noted above, the outcome of unraveling, only vertical threads that form the fabric of the garment are present. The selection of these will involve choosing fabrics that are constructed, and they must be black and white, specifically warp (vertical threads that form the fabric) white and weft (horizontal threads that form the fabric) black. This interest in monochrome will first intend to generate a marked change in color between what is frayed garment and what not, that is what transpired and what is not translucent, respectively. Second, it will place an emphasis on the fabric of the fabric — specifically in the pixel, a minimum square that is present in any fabric warp and weft. And third, it will achieve a direct link between the garment in space and the horizontal line present between the floor and wall, which exists in any room. In this way I seek to relate geometry drawing up a garment, in relation to the geometry that is present in the space it inhabits, that is, where it is present. The garment from a minimum, meaning the fabric, is generated from a set of vertical and horizontal lines, as in the architecture occurs between floor and walls. It is in this way I will generate a cross from the minimum and basic expression, to achieve a point where a representative dialogue can be formally established between body and space, between the present and the absent, achieving a cross between the functional and the poetic, to rethink and redirect the sense of what surrounds us – to re-perceive that we thought we already know.

In today’s media-saturated environment, where the private is regularly broadcast as public, we are constantly reminded that social media is altering our capacity to know others. My work attempts to undermine the dissociative, alienating, and distancing aspects of social media and photography by creating the space for real-life, personal exchange—all with an ironic wink to the viewer—using the facade of self-obsessed reality TV and selfie culture. I put my queer male body between the framework of photography, performance, social media identities, and Internet celebrity culture to make space for sincerity in the heart of the social media spectacle.

Statement
I Look for possibility of the perception and the psychology in visual art I focus on creating artworks which may cause the discord of your recognition. I make the discord with color, shape, materials and space of my artworks. In my current works, I use silk fabrics. This material is semitransparent and moire when they are layered. Some of my art works is using moire. It appeared when you change the point of view. Some of them are a small space surrounding a viewer partially. The view through the surrounding is a bit strange because of moire. I would like to change a view by looking through this works. Some of them painted matt medium on semi-transparent silk fabric. The behind of the silk looks blurred. I would like you to doubt what you are looking or where you are here. Like, is it staying still or moving? Or, is this flat or three dimensional? These works evoke the confusion and irritation of perception. Art for me is a challenge of changing sense of values and how to see a point of view which you’ve had.

CV Summary
I’m a New York based artist from Japan. I learned graphic design at Tokyo Designer Gakuin College in Nagoya, and worked as a graphic designer more than 10 years in Japan. I moved to NY in 2010, and then I went to the Art Students League of NY to study painting. There I started to create works which investigate the relationship between a painting and its viewers. I had a solo exhibition at Tazza gallery, Chelsea in 2012 and 2013, and joined the artist residency program at NARS Foundation in Brooklyn from January to June 2014 and at Pilotenkuche in Leipzig Germany December 2015 to March 2016 My work has been selected for the permanent collection of Art Students League of NY at 2013.

Statement
From the receding interior spaces of the boudoir, shrine or sitting room in Uzma Sultan’s earlier paintings, the flattened and patterned surface has come surging forward in her recent works, painted both in Karachi and as part of a residency at Glogauair in Berlin. Including stacks of Tibet powder and cooking oil tins, a crowd of painted vehicles, and a multiplied bed of charpoys viewed from an impossibly high angle, these paintings are rendered with Sultan’s characteristically crooked figuration. In the last case, Sultan appropriates the stacked perspective of the early miniature tradition, flattening and tipping the horizontal plane upwards and towards us. Alternately exaggerating and muting particular colours, the patterned surfaces that Sultan’s paintings represent are vibrant, and yet also rather barren. Most particularly, these paintings reflect the joy of the mark, of pushing colours against each other like unhappy lovers. They reflect the dance of paint on matter, in this case on impervious surfaces such as aluminum, vinyl or perspex. These works flirt with ugliness, with the shaky gesture of the brushstroke, and with the imprecision of an unplanned composition. They demonstrate that painting, in the end, is not only about painting pictures, but about making paintings. About the painful pleasure of paint, colour, surface and form.
