Graduated from the Biel Cantonal School of Visual Arts and member of the Swiss association of visual artists Visarte, I am a painter and illustrator. My artistic universe is nourished by contemporary drawing, independent comics, free figuration, pop art, popular arts and art brut, influences that I mix through various formats, materials and techniques (acrylic paint, ink, chalk, collage). My work has been exhibited in Switzerland, France, Belgium, the USA and Madagascar, and has been published by several Swiss and French publishers.
Inspired by the plural world around me and by mass culture, I seek to explore certain subterranean facets of the human being in order to bring out and exaggerate its multiple identities. To this end, I play with the notions of accumulation, multiplication, interlacing, overlapping or even overexposure, echoing the entanglement and the labyrinthine meanders of our current society. With my own artistic and metaphorical vocabulary, I weave a network of symbolic and allegorical figures, a jungle of standardized, dehumanized, submissive or robotized characters, interwoven into a frantic and overpopulated saraband.
Yves Hänggi
GlogauAIR Project
The urban culture and environment, the crowds and the agitation of the city are my main sources of inspiration. In particular, it is the urban iconography (promotional posters, specialized magazines, signs) that influences my imagination, leading me to divert its meaning through my personal artistic expression, in order to reinvent on this base a singular universe.
In the continuity of my current work, in resonance and inspiration with the Berlin urban context, I will deepen my pictorial research on larger formats, by mixing paint, ink and collage. I will let myself be influenced by the context of the residency by taking as a basis the cultural diversity specific to the environment as I will be able to perceive it on the spot.
I will be particularly interested in the theme of current and electronic music in Berlin. My pictorial approach and my artistic style are indeed continuously imbued with music, dancing crowd and rhythms and, in this sense, Berlin constitutes for me a ceaseless source of creative inspiration.
My creations will be nourished by the musical atmosphere, by the pulsations of the city, by the atmosphere of the streets, by the density of the crowd, by signs and advertising, by inscriptions and posters, by day and night, by industrial urbanism, or even by train and subway stations, through elements and symbols specific to the city, elements of decor and atmospheres that will intermingle and overlap in entangled compositions.

Obsession is something very present in my work. I have the habit of working on a subject until being tired or bored. I work with transparency, blur and mist, this is my graphic approach to help me to express what I want to. Usually I work with photographic or video documentation, mostly daily pictures taken with my phone. Then I start to paint with one of them as a base. As a cards reader would use cards in divination, I use pictures as a means to trigger and awaken something in my imagination, to create a “flash” in my mind that it can prompt a thought or feeling in a truly visceral way. Reusing is a part of my process, I feel objects and images I use carry with them an echo of the past. The potential for an object or picture to trigger my imagination is something I am very interested in. I use reusing from one medium to another. I can transpose my drawings to sculpture and then to reuse ideas for video or installation. Like a russian doll. In the past, I have generally explored memory, evanescence, presence, absence and about portrait. I still work on this themes but currently I’m more into questions about landscape, complex of balance and state of being.

Lucas Ngo
GlogauAIR Project
Lately I focused my research on landscape and with an obsession for stones. Drawing, video, sculpture, installation, I never stopped to search how to reuse stones I collected in Berlin when I was visiting city. I questioned how can we represent landscape and with what, like stones. I joined landscape research with complex of balance that I explored. In physic there is three kind of balance : stable, instable and indifferent. For example after disturbance, an object in stable balance always return to his original position, an object in instable balance will always change of position and an object in indifferent balance can’t be disturbing by anything. I questioned it to structure my works. Dealing with different types of balance in the same space has been an important part of my research. There is hesitation of what is really what it is. Some elements seem to be in a perfect balance but sometimes no, sometimes yes and in contrast with elements which can be disturbing by the first thing able to. I see a parallel between different types of balance and different states of being. I remember three years ago I was wondering myself what represents my state of mind during creation. It is thanks to this question I found levitation was the best phenomenon to illustrate my state of mind/balance, a really turbulent levitation that I included in my landscapes with stones. Before to focus my research on this subjects, I was more into male figure from portrait to body. There is something which didn’t change this is my graphic approach about blur and transparency. My project for residency is to keep exploring landscape and in directions I explained. This research will be without stones but I want to question how to include human figure in space and how it can deal with.

Architecture has the ability to indicate the historical, social and cultural characteristics of an urban area. In my practice, I identify these aspects by analysing the thematic, repetitive features of buildings, as well as their structural forms and materiality. The process of walking as research in order to take photographs of buildings and discover new places is the underlying foundation of my work’s creation. I carefully select photographs to communicate my ideas, taking both conceptual and aesthetic concerns into consideration. Collage informs and aids these decisions, as I am able to visualise the possible outcomes of my photographs as three-dimensional abstract forms.
I am intrigued by our human desire to categorise everything in terms of form and function. This instinct is challenged through my work as it sits somewhere between painting, sculpture, object and architecture. Materiality is therefore a fundamental aspect, as the viewer intuitively attempts to define it in terms of medium. I select particular materials in order to re-create a sense of place and portray the key characteristics of the area they are representing. This is illustrated in ‘Hackney, I love you. I lost you.’, which was inspired by a doorway I photographed in Hackney. I printed my photograph of the doorway’s graffiti onto canvas and built this into an architectural structure. Due to the texture of the material, the print appears as a realistic painting of the site, as well as a re-creation. The painterly effect aims to evoke an impression of Hackney’s creative community and culture. Colour is a vital component of my work and is significant within the architecture that I choose to photograph. Certain areas of the city embrace bright colours and welcome street art. In contrast, clear white buildings with blue glass reflect capitalist progress, with an attempt to appear as professional institutions. Colour has the ability to encourage conceptual interpretation and assert visual impact

If successful, l would approach the GlogauAIR by exploring different areas within the city. Walking as research would allow me to analyse the architecture and experience the sense of the place first-hand. This, together with documenting my progress through photography, would provide the preliminary foundations of my project. I would study my images in order to identify the thematic, repetitive features of the different buildings I have photographed, specific to different locations. Alongside structural form and materiality, these aspects of architecture would provide valuable insight into place identity.
After my initial practical research, I would experiment with my photographs to make collages. This playful method of exploring composition allows me to visualise the possible outcomes of my images as three-dimensional abstract forms. Collage triggers ideas and would play a key part in the process of my project. The construction of these final artworks would take up the main period of my residency. They would sit somewhere between painting, sculpture, object and architecture, and reflect contrasting place identities within Berlin.
As I would be living and working on Glogauer Street, the first area I would choose to focus on would be the immediate surrounding district. The opportunity to exhibit in GloguAIR’s showcase window facing the street would therefore be a fitting place to present at least part of my project. I would also enjoy meeting members of the public and taking part in GlogauAIR’s range of creative activities. Working alongside other artists and receiving the valuable advice offered by the program would allow me to expand my knowledge on the local culture, and gain a range of different perspectives regarding places within the city. Any guidance, particularly in terms of different locations to visit and study would be both informative and greatly appreciated.
I have been living in London for the past four years while studying, and am now eager to experience a new city to develop my practice. I visited Berlin recently in mind of moving there, and was immediately captivated by the city’s creative energy and multicultural setting. I feel GlogauAIR would have a significant positive impact on my artistic practice as well as myself as a person.

I, Hyunwook Park (b. 1984, Seoul, South Korea), am a graduate in BFA Fine art (traditional Korean Painting, 2011), BA Cross-Cultural Studies (2011), BA Studies of Glocal-Culture Contents (2011), MFA Fine art (traditional Korean Painting) at Sung Kyun Kwan university and MFA Fine art at UCL Slade School of Fine Art (2020). During the period, I had twice of solo exhibitions, 12 times of group exhibition and twice of collaboration shows with a dance team.
About my work, simply say, my works are started from parting, losing, throwing away, leaving and separating in everyday life. I tried to represent ordinary but unique existence and their disappearing includes ourselves. Since 2013, Missing Pages is the main title and theme of a project negotiating with such problems as time, existence, and expiration. It consists of drawings, paintings, and sculptures that represent humdrum objects in everyday life. The goal of this project is to renew the meanings of the neglected objects that have yet to demise, by taxonomizing their visual forms, and exuviae littered around us. In short, I am highlighting everyday, life, time, objects and places as meaningful and unique ones. I expect to represent emotional or spiritual parts rather than objective reality. At the same time, I try to avoid that the objects in my works are regarded as symbols. Recently, I found that I also have curiosity, craving and adore life and time and I am trying to expand my work with those minds.
In terms of painting, I am trying to combining traditional Korean painting and contemporary European painting. Splitting and combining layers is also one of the most interesting topics recently. For instance, I am experimenting to use various materials in one painting (not mixing) or combining several pages of paintings into one work to make layers. In the case of resin works, encapsulating objects in resin in a wooden box make those visible but distant. Also, viewers can open and close the wooden boxes but these are showing only one side. These factors highlight revealing, hiding and distancing. At the same time, I expect these works can be shown as a sculpture like a painting and a painting like a sculpture.
About selling my artwork, I expect that the progress of selling the works one by one depicts that the memories are dimming and being abstracted. If I can have an exhibition with all of these pieces after all pieces are sold, this process can be regarded as a reminding. All of those are not only for visual joy and exploration but also for searching for various ways to reveal lives, moments and existence with my sight.
Hyunwook Park
GlogauAIR Project
During around three month of the artist residency period, I am going to concentrate on painting works. I am planning to paint over 30 pieces of small work and over 3 pieces of large work. At the same time, since my recent works have various style but each style has no enough quality and quantity, I am going to choose some style and do a concentrated strategy.
My days – PXC550 and Somewhere Over the Windows – in Bloomsburry can be good examples. The former is for representing objects, layering via combing pages and traditional Korean style. The latter is for layering via deferring materials and my new topics such as moment, others’ life. To be more specific in terms of objects, I have interests in daily meals, lost items and scenery which is showing through windows. In short, I want to keep concentrate on everyday life as ordinary but important and disappearing precious time.

Each work I do is an exercise in which I experiment with certain concerns that I have about my own being and my existence on this time. This is not only for the purpose of finding myself but also for seeking answers and generating reflections on those with whom I share my work, which allows the viewer to enter their own questions.
It is not an autobiographical work, however, I use my own experiences to highlight certain questions about our own existence, such as understanding being, time, reality, appearances, intimacy and the way of relating in these times. I explore with different media such as ceramics, weaving, video, performance and installation to carry out my plastic proposals

Helena Ospina Lizarralde
GlogauAIR Project
In my work I explore and try to solve questions about existence, how we interact among us and with the nature that surrounds us. I am a young artist and in this first stage of my work I am interested in addressing the idea of TIME. Until this moment I’ve explored the concept of present and past time with plastic and visual works, creating pieces that have gone through an experience of creation that gives me a closer approach of what it is to live time consciously.
My residency project consists in traveling to the future. Thanks to the time zone difference between Berlin (GlogauAIR) and Bogotá (place where I live) is 7 hours, this trip will advance me in time as this is measured by the position we have regarding the sun. It is clear that the trip will not allow me to know what will happen in Bogotá 7 hours later, but it is a situation in which I will be aware of the difference. This exercise of attention to the passage of time will take place from the departure of Bogotá and throughout the trip to Berlin. What time is it on the plane while flying? From the point of view of time accounting I will arrive in Berlin 12 hours after taking off from Bogotá, however, the local time will no longer be the same as in my place of origin. I will have jumped 7 hours ago. At the residence I want to ask not only about time but also about the space around me and look for strategies that establish connections between the past (Bogotá) and the future (Berlin). Despite having previous experiences traveling the world, until now I did not stop to observe carefully the nature of the time depending on the place where I am. This residence is then a great opportunity to experiment with simultaneity, time jumps and dead times.

Painting reality yet leaving context behind. Through painting Honey likes to appropriate situations and objects, to play with them, creating a collection of fragments that connect with one another but can also function on their own. She looks for things in images and photographs that are part of my life and give them the power to exist and shine as something else: paint.
She wishes to treat her subjects with intimacy, whether they are friends or objects, but without making them feel so private the viewer is unable to grasp their meaning. Most of all, she wishes to be an honest painter, able to explore her own feelings, relationships and intuitions with paint while surrounded by life in both its absurdity and preciousness.
By playing with the kind of incongruous associations that arise between images she wishes to elevate her paintings to a place between humor and wonder. Inspired by genrelike scenes, Honey’s paintings show real life people caught in particular moments, but the combination of these moments in the juxtaposed images transforms them. Creating a feeling of being out of time.
Honey’s goal is not to make a merely “critical” work, but one that embraces both a satirical observation of life in general and a poetic reflection of her own.

I wish for GlogauAir to be the opportunity for me to expand my practice as a painter in an unfamiliar environment. Having been to Berlin only once on quick trip 5 winters ago, I wanna take over the spirit of the town and share that experience with fresh faces and new minds.
I’m not opposed for it to be the chance to also diversify my work and reconnect with sculpture using the wood shop. I spent the last 5 years in the United States and I feel like this would be a great place for me to take a breath of fresh air and see where my work can go from there.

Body Mediation
The human body is the most complicated machine on this Earth, and it’s important that we treat our bodies well, and maintain the wellbeing and upmost health for our bodies through various ways including; meditation and praying. In the past years of my studies I have done extensive research into the benefits of meditating and its power of use in promoting positivity within the mind and body. It is found that meditation can reduce stress, and assist in Emotion Regulation, Physical Well-being and can improve focus & concentration levels as well as improve conflict resolutions more efficiently.
Within Islamic practices, it is found that Islamic meditation has been practiced since the 7th Century and has been practiced in various methods including; Zikr – which is a form of meditation that involves the remembrance of Allah, and can be practiced at any point during the day. Another form of Islamic meditation includes the recitation of Quran and Dua, and praying 5 times a day to grow closer to Allah, and the Islamic religion. Finally another aspect of Islamic meditation can be practiced through the method of ‘Ruqyah Syar’iyyah’. The use of ‘Ruqyah Syar’iyyah is the use and recitation of Quran and its effectiveness in ‘clamming down and prevent any harm.’ The ‘Ruqyah Syar’iyyah’ is a spiritual treatment that is practiced within Islam, and utilises the Quran and Dua in treating illnesses. This form of meditation is used to cure common illnesses including the cure for ‘Hasad’ the cure for evil eye, black magic and physical ailments. In addition to the use of Quran & Dua recitation within ‘Ruqyah Syar’iyyah’ the use of natural remedies including the use of honey, black seed, olive oil and holy water are used within the meditation process as well as cupping. Through the method of these practices, the last step of meditation is practiced through the form of Sabr, which involves the practice of ‘perseverance’ and ‘persistence’ in the Islamic faith and the Islamic practices to remove any harm.
For my works, I have selected one participant that comes from a different background to participate in the use Islamic mediation as I am interested in discovering more about the views and experiences of the participant and their opinion on Islamic meditation. The participant will be involved in a test study once a week and will be practicing the forms of reciting Quran and Zikr, and at the end of the month the participant will document 150 words in writing about their experiences and involvement within this study. The feedback collected by the participant will be used to form the basis of my work and I will utilise their emotions, experiences and thoughts to help direct my works.
In addition to the physical test study work, I will also do extensive research into material sourcing and will look at fabrication including; silk, cotton and scrim. The use of selected fabrication is an important tool, and will inform the creation of my works. The use of specific fabrics will help to inform my work, and will assist in transforming the vision of my work into a three dimensional art piece. I will use do further research into testing out fabrics and I will look at fabric shaping. Additionally I will also look into artists work for inspiration, and utilise large-scale multimedia installations , sounds ,videos, insulation and mixed media for the basis of my inspiration and research tools.

Beatriz Lorenzo Íñigo (b. 1982. Madrid, Spain)
I understand the artistic practice as a form of analysis and a knowledge of sociological and emotional concepts. It is the way I immerse myself in the human psyche. For me, art is a means of expression and an analysis of everyday world that surrounds me. My works of art are the result of observation, experience and memory. In them, a multitude of elements are represented as symbols of richness and complexity that inhabits the mind, avoiding simplification of labels.
My interest is focused on representing subjective reality taking the imagination as a triggering element of pictorial creation. I am interested in leaving a trace of the gesture, the brushstroke, as a symbol or expression of the nerve, the state of mind, as if the painting were something alive. In this manner the work expresses creative processes, doubts, determination, fears or freedom.
In my works recurrent symbols appear, such as masks and graphic patterns. The mask is present not as something that hides, but as something used to represent the freedom of the self. Graphic patterns represents the small routines that we do daily. By depicting these repetitive elements through painting, an exact repetition is never possible so it comes to represent a fascination for the small differences within the routine. These two elements ultimately speak about identity.

GlogauAIR Project
The project to be developed at the GlogauAIR residency program is focus on a conceptual and plastic experimentation. Conceptually will be developed through research about the concept of identity. The intention is to focus on investigating identity based on a series of specific aspects. The freedom of representation of the other and the self is the underlying theme and common thread in this project. To represent these concepts is going to be used an imaginary that takes the carnival and its characteristic elements, such as masks, headdresses, costumes as an act of resistance and a place of expression of will and desire.
Graphic experimentation through painting will start from figuration and the process itself will cause this figurative elements to be lost and become an amalgam of brushstrokes, textures, and graphic patterns that express strength through color. My intention is to use the imagination as a driving force in this creative process.

TREE-HUGGERS
For a quite long time now, in my artistic practice, I have been engaged in activities which I call ”the secret activism” – I create images, objects, texts and document various actions, which aim to convey the reflection on how we destructively affect nature. As my residency project, I would like to create a series of works telling the story of deforestation on an unprecedented scale, which is currently taking place in Polish forests. The online residency is an ideal solution for me because my ‘atelier’ will be the forest – I will stay outside a lot. I want to wander/photograph/document/protest and then use the collected materials to create objects and images. At the same time, I want to gather via the Internet a large collection of photographs – portraits of people from all over the world who have photographed themselves while hugging trees. And then process these photographs so that they unify, simplify, and together begin to bring to mind the representation of some mysterious tribe – a great, kind, global group.
Tree-huggers are not only people who simply like to cuddle up to the trees, to draw energy from them, but above all, they are the term for ecologists – those who stand up for nature. “The first tree huggers were 294 men and 69 women belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism, who, in 1730, died while trying to protect the trees in their village from being turned into the raw material for building a palace. They literally clung to the trees, while being slaughtered by the foresters.” And this fight is still going on – quite recently, in Poland, in defense of the oldest primeval forest in Europe – the Białowieża Forest – the heritage of all of us, people were pinning themselves to the trees to protect it from harvesters. Under current government, many of the old, wonderful Polish forests are now being cut down at a huge rate. I’m also observing this phenomenon in south Poland, where I live. I would like these project to be personal, relating to places close to me, but at the same time to be read universally.

Born in Toronto, ON, Canada
Lives and works in Brooklyn, NY
Lisa Bell Weisdorf is a multidisciplinary artist working in digital media, video, sculpture, and installation. Driven by a desire to both understand and shape her historical conditions, her conceptually-grounded, research-driven practice endeavors to triangulate the relationship between the virtual, physical, and social fields.
Using an analytical approach informed by her educational background studying media theory, as well as her professional experience working as an archival researcher for documentary cinema, she employs formal tactics of appropriation and détournement in order to tease out the repressed inconsistencies of myriad cyber-cultural apparatuses and representational systems.
Particularly concerned with issues of gender, beauty, and the disciplining of feminine excess, her art interrogates the ways in which contemporary technology dispossesses, structures, and (re)produces our experience as subjects, and asks what it means to be an artist in a post-optic regime.
Lisa Bell Weisdorf
GlogauAIR Project
During her time at GlogauAIR, Lisa Bell Weisdorf plans on developing a series of sculptures based on a number of visually cryptic beauty implements currently available on the market. She will make molds and casts of these pseudo-scientific commodities, experimenting with the ways in which material might be able to transform their meaning.
