Chiu I-Chi
Chiu I-Chi is GlogauAIR resident from April 2026 to June 2026. Q2
Chiu I-Chi is a Taiwanese artist whose work explores the relationship between the body, nature, and trauma through fictional organisms. Drawing from personal experiences of illness, caregiving, and recovery, she creates hybrid life forms that merge human and botanical elements. Working across painting, embroidery, soft sculpture, and installation, she constructs biological landscapes that reflect processes of healing, mutation, and decay

Meet the Artist
Do you want to start by telling me a little bit about yourself and what you’re working on while you’re here at GlogauAIR?
My name is I-Chi. I’m a visual artist from Taiwan. I work with oil painting, embroidery, soft sculpture, and installation.
My practice focuses on the relationship between the body, nature, and trauma. At GlogauAIR, I’m developing a new project that combines two of my previous series: my soft sculpture project Hello, Would You Like a Piercing? and my oil painting series Beneath the Skin.
In this new project, I want to create sculptural bodies with cellular and organic painting textures on their surfaces. After the bodies are formed, I will pierce them. For me, the piercing becomes a symbolic and ritual action, marking a moment of transformation for these fictional organisms.
You’re working with quite a few different materials. How do they all come together?
Painting was the first medium I learned, so most of my work begins with painting. In the past, I have created oil painting series, embroidery series, and soft sculpture works. This time, I want to bring all of these languages together.
My process often begins with observation. I take photographs of forms that interest me, such as tree wounds, tree burls, tree hollows, or scars on bark. Then I make sketches and begin to develop the shape of the soft sculpture. After that, I sew, embroider, paint, and eventually pierce the work.
I find that each material asks me to think in a different way. Embroidery and fabric are very soft and human-like; they feel almost like working with skin. Painting allows me to create cellular, organic, and wounded textures. Piercing connects to my family background, because I grew up in my family’s piercing shop.
As a piercer, I feel that piercing is more than decoration. It is a practice of transformation, and a way for people to mark change on their bodies.In my family’s piercing shop, people come for many different reasons. For example, some migrant families, especially from the Philippines and Indonesia, bring their one-month-old baby girls to get their ears pierced. Teenagers may come because they want to change something about themselves. Through these different experiences, I started to see piercing as a personal, cultural, and sometimes ritual act.
Where does your inspiration come from?
Most of my inspiration comes from personal experience. I have an illness that requires me to go to the hospital regularly for checkups, such as blood tests and ultrasounds. These experiences made me more aware of the body: its fragility, its inner systems, and the way it is always trying to maintain and repair itself.
I have also witnessed how illness changes the bodies of people in my family. My grandmother had rheumatoid arthritis. When I was very young, her hands and body looked quite normal, but over the years, her joints became deformed and her hands gradually lost their ability to hold things. Her body became smaller and more fragile, almost like a child’s body. Watching her illness changed the way I understand the body. It made me think about how disease can transform not only the shape of the body, but also its rhythm, movement, and dignity.
I also spend a lot of time walking in forests and observing trees. Some trees have wounds, scars, holes, or damaged bark, but they still continue to grow beautifully and strongly. I feel that humans are similar to trees. No one goes through life without being wounded in some way.
For me, wounds are not only damage. They can also be places where transformation begins. This is why I am interested in healing, mutation, wounding, and decay. They are not separate from life; they are part of how life changes and continues.
What do you want people to take away from your art?
I hope people can relate my work to their own experiences. I want them to feel that their wounds, scars, and difficult experiences can also carry a kind of beauty.
I want to challenge the way we usually think about wounds and scars. Instead of seeing them only as damage or something to hide, I hope people can feel more comfortable with their own scars. For me, a scar is not only a mark of pain; it is also evidence that the body has lived, survived, and transformed.

Chiu I-Chi is a Taiwanese artist whose work explores the relationship between the body, nature, and trauma through fictional organisms. Drawing from personal experiences of illness, caregiving, and recovery, she creates hybrid life forms that merge human and botanical elements. Growing up in her family’s piercing shop, Chiu also reflects on practices of bodily modification and transformation.
Working across painting, embroidery, soft sculpture, and installation, she constructs biological landscapes that reflect processes of healing, mutation, and decay. Through these imagined species, she transforms personal memory into ecological narratives that exist between scientific observation and poetic imagination.
GlogauAIR Project
This residency project continues my exploration of fictional, human-like species as a way to reflect on how life transforms under environmental and cultural pressures. During the residency, I will create five soft sculptures representing the life cycle of an invented species—birth, growth, love, aging, and death. Alongside these sculptures, I will develop a series of paintings depicting their imagined habitat, anatomical structures, and cellular forms. Inspired by my family’s background in body piercing, piercing becomes a symbolic language within this species’ culture, marking identity, memory, and rites of passage.

Czeslawa Wojtkjowski
Czeslawa Wojtkjowski is GlogauAIR resident from April 2026 to June 2026. Q2
Czeslawa interrogates trans and non-binary femme representation through fiber art, new media, and collage techniques. Sourcing material from sensationalized, often disposable media like tabloids, erotic ephemera, direct-to-video VHS films. Czeslawa transforms the subjects depicted therein into precious treasures. The process ensures that every interaction with my subjects’ visages is made with the utmost intention. Thoughtfully choosing and placing photographs, fabrics, and embellishments are acts of resistance.

Meet the Artist
Do you want to start by telling me a little bit about yourself and what you’re working on while you’re here at GlogauAIR?
I would call myself a multidisciplinary collage artist, because everything I do is a collage and uses collage techniques. I know that’s like a really big buzzword right now, but I actually do collage. I’ve dabbled in video collage, but primarily I do digital collage using Photoshop. Recently, since coming to the residency, I’ve gotten back into doing physical collage as well, because I wanted to use the materials that are available to me in Berlin. I feel like it would be a waste to not take advantage of the materials in the city.
Where do your images come from?
For the last two years, I’ve been really into Tokusatsu, which is a Japanese genre of masked heroes. It’s the same genre as Power Rangers. So you’ll see a lot of those in my work. Since undergraduate school, mid-century, iconic Americana motifs have also been coming up in my work, like pinups and fetish material. I use a lot of pop culture images and images from comic books as well. Or images from the Gothic Lolita subculture. There are queer undertones to being so hyper femme that you’re no longer desirable as an object, or even identifiable as female. It’s interesting to me. You’ll see it throughout my work.
You have a very strong visual language. Where did it come from?
My visual language comes from the fact that I’ve never been one to feel things lightly. I either feel something very intensely, or not at all. I think my visual language reflects that. It’s very strong and in your face. I’m incapable of being subtle or poetic. It’s much more fun for me to just be in your face.
I think experiencing injustices, like misogyny and queerphobia and living in a country where the government uses their language to terrorize my community daily, it just makes me want to yell even louder.
My work is heavy handed. It’s so over the top that it becomes camp. I use camp as a cushion around the violent aspects of my work. I think it makes my work slightly more digestible. You have to laugh to keep from crying, you know? Especially when you’re dealing with such heavy subject matter.
Talk to me a bit more about that. I mean, we’re both coming from the U.S. as a queer people. It’s something I think about a lot. What are you thinking about right now?
Right now, I’m really focused on the counter-terrorism memo that the U.S. Department of Defense released where they name radically pro-transgender ideology as domestic terrorism. What does that mean? They’re intentionally using very vague, broad language so they can ostensibly prosecute any instance of pro-transgender sentiments.
I want to make works that specifically provoke them. They haven’t killed me yet, so I’m going to use my language to be even more radical.
I was assigned female at birth. I’m nonbinary, but when I go out in the world, I’m usually perceived as a woman, which gives me a privilege that a lot of people who are actively transitioning don’t have. So I feel like making specifically radical work that is a call to arms is one thing that I can do, because I have more security than other people.
What do you want people to take away from your work?
I think people who have suffered injustices can immediately recognize something in my work. One reason I prefer to manipulate the highly sexualized female body, is because that also draws in a cisgender male audience. They expect to be titillated, but instead, my work actively pushes them away. Whereas with a queer audience, all the details of my work bring them in closer. I want my work to be like an alternate world.
I want my work to light a fire in people. I hope it connects with something they’re feeling as well. And that it can be, in a way, soothing for people to know they’re not alone.

The care involved in such repetitious activities is a defiant rebuke of the idea that there are those inherently unworthy of existing.
GlogauAIR Project
This project continues my material, conceptual, and research concerns through the creation of brightly-colored, maximalist fabric banners that assert the autonomy and human rights of transgender and non-binary femmes. A vein of evil runs through American politics at the moment, one that wants to explicitly eradicate my friends and I. The only way to silence this unconscionable rhetoric is to be louder, more visible, more GONZO than the genocidal ghouls running the society I live in. To achieve this, I am channeling Berlin’s specific queer club culture in the aesthetic of banners, which will be made out of decadent materials such as sequins, mesh, and velvet. The resulting work will be gorgeous and unrepentantly aggressive, all while invoking the joyful protest of queer nightlife.

Hana Bleue Chaussette
Hana Bleue Chaussette is GlogauAIR resident from January 2026 to March 2026. Q1
Hana is a conceptual artist whose work challenges western portraiture especially in the 21st-century because we are more than our “selfies”—-in fact, we reveal ourselves unconsciously in so many ways. Her work can take the form of paintings or sculpture, short stories or plays. Hana is also concerned about how the Digital Age is so quickly robbing us of our choice for privacy—to reveal what we choose to tell about ourselves.

GlogauAIR Project
The project I am about to begin is not only an extension of my “Unsung Heroes” series (2017-present) but a “portrait” of an award-winning experimental classical ensemble based in Chicago. Ambitious in its scope, and multidisciplinary at its essence, it will continue pushing the boundaries of portraiture in the west especially in the 21st century. The closest example is William Kentridge, but like Chema Alvargonzalez, it will unquestionably involve extensive research and a plunge into the philosophical questions about what it means to be human in the context of an increasingly driven AI world.

Carlotta M. Valentinis Queraltó is GlogauAIR resident from January 2026 to March 2026.
Q1
Carlotta’s artistic practice is rooted in material research and embodied experience. Painting lies at the core of her work, complemented by dance, performance, and movement 一 establishing a dialogue between matter, body, and mind. She approaches painting as a slow, situated practice, deeply connected to territory, time, and materiality. Her work embraces impermanence, conceiving each artwork as a living organism whose transformation is an integral part of its life cycle. In her practice, gesture and her body act as active agents, emphasizing presence, rhythm, and a corporeal engagement with the surface.

She approaches painting as a slow, situated practice, deeply connected to territory, time, and materiality. Her work embraces impermanence, conceiving each artwork as a living organism whose transformation is an integral part of its life cycle. She develops pigments from locally sourced stones and experiments with organic binders using artisanal processes. Gesture and her body act as active agents in her practice, emphasizing presence, rhythm, and a corporeal engagement with the surface.
GlogauAIR Project
The project investigates a sustainable, artisanal approach to painting, using natural pigments and organic binders derived from local geology, rocks, and minerals.
Combining material research with artistic practice, it allows the inherent qualities of these elements, color, texture, and behavior, to guide gesture and expression.
The works embrace impermanence and transformation, reflecting the territory, landscape, and cultural identity from which the materials are sourced.
By reclaiming traditional, handcrafted techniques (from pigment creation to application) the project positions the artist as a craftsperson engaged in an ongoing dialogue with matter.
Painting is conceived not as a fixed object, but as a living, regenerative process, where the life cycle of the materials shapes the final outcome, connecting time, nature, and human presence.

GlogauAIR Project
I created my artistic series, “Quanta Dada”, to express my disgust with what is happening in the world today. I am drawn to the Dada movement of 1916-1923, because it was a powerful reaction to World War I by artists who believed that war itself is craziness incarnate. It was an artistic jolt.
Dada artists embraced chaos and irrationality. They exhibited the absurd. My Quanta Dada series also embraces chaos, irrationality, and the absurd. The Dada response to life is to embrace the personal and passionate madness of it all, with the intensity of one’s personality transposed directly into a work of art.
Art goes straight to the soul. It can shake us out of our conformist stupor. The Quanta Dada series is my way of capturing the interplay of both the light and the dark, la danse de la mort, at this inflection point in human history.

He engages landscape painting as a historical tradition, while shifting its focus toward the simulation of nature as a contemporary substitute for nature itself. These paintings do not describe the wild, but its domination: environments engineered, contained, and aestheticized. By painting constructed landscapes, Mario questions how control, comfort, and progress have replaced intimacy with the elemental, revealing the quiet violence embedded in our images of paradise.

Meet the Artist
Can you give us a brief introduction of yourself? Specifically, we would love to hear about your background
I’m a Dominican artist working primarily in painting, with a parallel career as a strategist and founder of a communications consultancy.
After two decades building creative enterprises, I’ve returned to my artistic practice as the center of my life, integrating everything I’ve learned through travel, research, studies, and professional experience. Alongside painting, I’m also a photographer and writer, and I’ve led expeditions to remote natural environments—such as the Arctic tundra, Antarctica, and the Amazon—which have become central to my thinking and visual work.
My interests extend into philosophy, ecology, and the ways contemporary society constructs meaning around nature, progress, and abundance.
How would you describe your artistic practice?
I am a painter before anything else. The way I see the world is through the eye of a painter, moving between figuration and abstraction. I work mainly with oil and mixed media on canvas, producing medium- to large-scale works that often function as part of larger bodies or series rather than as isolated pieces.
Conceptually, my work explores the contemporary relationship between humans and nature—particularly how nature has shifted from being a lived, spiritual, and existential space to becoming a resource, a product, or a simulation. Water and land are recurring elements in my work, not only as physical matter but as psychological and symbolic territories.
I’m interested in ideas such as abundance as performance in the contemporary world, the replacement of natural abundance with material or technological abundance, and the tension between wilderness and civilization. I am particularly interested in simulations of nature—pools, gardens, resorts, and controlled landscapes. The paintings often suggest ritual, transformation, or rupture, and they invite slow reading through the subtleties of paint, rather than immediate consumption.
What is your methodology or process for creating a new project?
My process begins long before the act of painting. It usually starts with lived experience—travel, immersion in specific landscapes, or extended observation—combined with reading and writing. I keep notebooks where philosophical ideas, sketches, and personal reflections coexist without hierarchy.
From there, I define a conceptual frame rather than a fixed outcome. I’m interested in building a system of questions that can generate multiple works. In the studio, I work intuitively but within that conceptual boundary, allowing accidents, repetition, and the erosion of images to play an active role.
I often work in series, developing several paintings simultaneously and letting them inform one another. Writing is an important tool throughout the process, not as explanation but as a way to clarify thought. A project usually takes months or years to fully resolve, evolving through cycles of production, reflection, and revision. Doubt and questioning are at the center of my work.
What’s the project you’re working on during GlogauAIR’s residency?
During the residency, I’m developing a body of paintings that continues my exploration of water as both a natural force and a cultural construction. The project, titled Forgotten Spirits (working title), focuses on spiritual connections with the land, drawing from research into ancient tribes, folk stories, and the ways in which modern science has gradually eliminated the possibility of mystery.
Visually, the work moves between landscapes that feel almost primordial and scenes that reference artificial or simulated environments. The paintings are not descriptive but experiential, aiming to evoke a sense of dislocation between what is natural, what is manufactured, and what is remembered or imagined.
GlogauAIR offers an important context for this project, providing a sounding board I’ve eagerly missed since art school, as well as a space to slow down production, test new formal decisions, and reflect on how these themes resonate beyond my own geographic and cultural origin.

GlogauAIR Project
Forgotten Spirits is a painting project that approaches water and land as sacred forces displaced by contemporary logics of consumption. It explores landscape as a civilizational construct, where spirituality has been replaced by comfort, spectacle, and control. Through unstable, hybrid terrains that balance figuration and abstraction, the work examines how nature is simulated, optimized, and consumed, revealing the erosion of reverence and the quiet domination embedded in contemporary images of paradise.

GlogauAIR Project
Scroll is an ongoing artistic project that examines contemporary culture through the lens of endless digital scrolling. Initiated within the Romanian cultural context, the project reflects on attention, saturation, and the aesthetics of the feed, translating screen-based gestures into painterly and visual narratives. During the GlogauAIR residency, I aim to further develop this body of work by expanding its themes toward an international perspective, engaging with broader cultural references and audiences.

Sarah Baek
Sarah Baek is GlogauAIR resident from January 2026 to March 2026. Q1
Sarah Baek is a painter whose practice begins with the question of how memory is felt rather than recalled. While her earlier works focused on translating the emotional sensations of remembered moments, her recent practice examines how memory changes over time. Certain parts fade, while others remain at the edges. Through selective use of material, partial layering, and fragmented surfaces, she explores how memory is experienced through varying degrees of intensity.

GlogauAIR Project
This project explores how memory is experienced through differences in intensity rather than as a fixed narrative. Focusing on selective use of matière and partial layering, the work investigates how certain memories surface more strongly while others fade or remain fragmented. By working with recycled paper, paint, and varied surface treatments, the project examines contrasts of density, softness, and transparency as a way to articulate sensory fluctuation. The process leads to small studies and mid-sized works that clarify how material decisions reflect the shifting strength and duration of memory.

Statement
I am a 22 year old artist based between London, New York, and Tokyo, with a focus on oil painting, screen printing, digital art, sculpture and animation. Throughout my artistic journey, I have been consistently drawn to exploring states of metamorphosis of the human body, particularly in relation to the nuanced realities of femininity and the female experience. Through a multidisciplinary practice, I aim to explore the uneasy tension between beauty and the grotesque in our hyper-curated digital age, the fragility of the body in the face of global pressures, as well as the ways women navigate medical and institutional systems. In my most recent body of work, I have focused on reproductive health and the often-silenced experiences of hormonal disorders such as Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). As someone living with PCOS, I am acutely aware of how femininity is performed, medicalized, and pathologized. This has informed my understanding of the body as being something both deeply personal and shaped by larger cultural, technological, and institutional forces. Ultimately, my work seeks to reclaim and reframe the female body in its many forms, resisting both fetishization and erasure, and speaking to the complexity of femininity in a world that both worships and distorts it.
GlogauAIR Project
My proposed residency project stems from my personal experience living with PCOS, a hormonal condition that has profoundly shaped my understanding of the body as both vulnerable and profoundly powerful. Through years of navigating the medical system and the silence surrounding underrepresented / under-researched health issues, I’ve come to understand the body as a site of metamorphosis as opposed to something fixed. My project aims to expand beyond the scope of PCOS to a collective exploration of what it means to inhabit a body in constant flux, a body that is constantly in the process of self destruction, yet continually renews itself regardless. PCOS is just one of many underrepresented health experiences affecting primarily those assigned female at birth, such as endometriosis, chronic pain, hormonal imbalance, reproductive disorders, and the many invisible conditions that remain understudied, misunderstood, or dismissed within patriarchal medical systems.
My project seeks to examine how discomfort, pain, and perceived imbalance can also be sources of creativity and connection. Drawing inspiration from Proto Indo-European Neolithic cultures, where fertility, ritual, and earth were intertwined, through an understanding that humanity and the natural world are deeply connected. By reclaiming these symbols through contemporary feminist and philosophical perspectives, this project becomes both a healing gesture and a critique of how our modern society defines health, beauty, and worth. In today’s world, our bodies exist increasingly estranged from the natural cycles that once grounded human life. Technology mediates our rhythms and urbanization and environmental collapse distance us from the ecosystems we depend on. Yet the biological processes that define us, like menstruation, hormonal shifts, cellular regeneration, all remain deeply ecological. Through painting, sculpture, video, and screenprinting I aim to explore this paradox. In particular, how contemporary embodiment is both synthetic and organic, alienated yet inseparable from nature. In sharing my personal journey, I hope to dissolve shame and reimagine illness as a catalyst for connection, wisdom, and creative metamorphosis.

Statement
Colors drift and collide like light in motion, capturing shadows and emotions as they pass. My paintings are quiet thresholds—spaces where stillness, reflection, and escape can unfold. Across oil, ink, and lens, I search for the fleeting made visible, moments suspended long enough to be felt anew.
I am drawn to the tension between permanence and impermanence. A brushstroke can hold energy long after it is made, yet the feeling it conveys may be unstable, evolving, or even contradictory. Through layered color, scraping, and transparency, I seek to reveal what is concealed, to embody the unseen forces that shape us.
Ultimately, my practice is an attempt to make motion tangible, to hold on to the intangible pulse of human experience.
GlogauAIR Project
During my GlogauAIR residency, I will develop a body of mixed media work that investigates the dialogue between light, shadow, and texture, and the emotions they stir. By layering oil, ink, acrylic, photography, and unconventional materials, I aim to create surfaces that shift with changing perspectives, evoking movement, tension, and release. This project seeks to translate intangible states of atmosphere into visual form, immersing viewers in moments of contemplation and sensory depth while expanding my own exploration of materiality.
