    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.

    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.

    Statement

    I am interested in altering a format, structure, manners and process of the “painting” or “art exhibition”. Sometimes I emphasize a picked factor: color, material, meaning, relation between painting and viewer, which exists in paintings. Another time I make a situation along an assumption, and show it as an installation.

    Triple Double

    “Triple Double” means that “The achievement of a two-digit number of any three of point scored, assists, rebounds, blocks, or steals in a single game“ in basketball. A couple of paintings increase repeatedly from this project.

    The first painting [A] will be made from picking a visual image up by research, learning, daily lives in Berlin. The second painting [A ’] responds to a factor ( image, color, material and so on ) in the first painting.

    The second time – first painting [B] will be made from focusing another motivation, but there is a relation to [A] or [A’]. I will continue that process at the residency. I hope that the viewers are able to have multiple points of view from these works.

    Nisha Bhakoo’s work as a poet informs her moving image pieces and collages. She creates new meanings and contexts through re-arrangement of images and generating new rhythms. Her attached poetic statements are often concerned with the uncanny and unconscious – she makes the familiar unfamiliar, and draws on ideas of repression. Her projects often make reference to new technologies and social networks, focusing on their uncanny implications.

    Nisha Bhakoo received a MA in Critical and Creative Writing at Sussex University, and has toured internationally as a poet/performance artist. She was shortlisted for Cambridge University’s Jane Martin Award in 2015.

    Statement

    Zhiwan Cheung was born in Long Beach, CA to Chinese immigrants. After a brief stint as a child actor in Reading Rainbow, Zhiwan found himself making art. In using site and place as material, Zhiwan often probes individual identity and the borders of the self in relation to the external natural world. Though the use of time-based works (performances, storytelling, and videos) with constantly shifting associations, Zhiwan strives for several perspectives, signs, and spaces to co-exist in both contrasting and unfamiliar ways.

    Zhiwan Cheung

    GlogauAIR Project

    As a second-generation immigrant, I live in a liminal state that is neither my parents’ upbringing nor an American background. My art examines this sense of displacement through performances, since performativity gets close to the heart of identity. For the best performances, the blurring between fake and real becomes so powerful that we cease to see the person or the character: the mythic creation of one is constantly subsumed by the other, leaving the residue of the actual and the imaginary to shift and ebb between various in-between-states of identity. Through GlogauAIR, I hope to expand on my interest in these liminal states.

    One movement that is concerned with the blurring of life and art is the Fluxus movement in the 1960s. It is for this reason that I hope to view the museum collections and archives of the Fluxus art movement throughout Germany, where the movement took shape. Because I am interested in performativity, I will look at the video archives of Neuer Berliner Kunstverein in Berlin, a video archiving institution with an emphasis on the Fluxus movement. I will also travel around Germany to visit other institutions with significant Fluxus holdings and other archival materials such as writings and pictures. Specifically, I will stay and research at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, the State Museum Schwerin, the Staatsgalerie Stuttgart, the Museum Fluxus+ in Potsdam, and Museum Wiesbaden which is often cited as the birthplace of Fluxus. Between each trip, I will return to Berlin to synthesize and reflect on my travels and the works and videos I viewed. Given Fluxus’ impact on performativity theory, my explorations of the movement will help me reinterpret my own approach to my art and performances. I will create new works inspired by the Fluxus movement in the form of video performances in Berlin. Combined with my displacement as an American living in Berlin, these new works will help me investigate my art in a cultural context that is not American-centric.

    Statement

    Eitan Ritz is an artist, dancer and composer interested in bodies as sites of congealment and memory. Repetition of the circadian foments a certain movement, sound and feeling through rhythms. Bird songs resonate while you walk through the streets, the voice of a loved one is your holding pattern.

    Ritz attempts to understand these process’ through an investigation into granular moments in movement and sound from his every day. This is a heuristic to rearticulate and recast his personal experience and investigate feelings and beliefs that surround us as we live and play in the world. After spending a year studying the dance compositions of Noa Eshkol through the Eshkol-Wachmann Movement Notation at her home in Israel, Ritz gained an introspection into the experience of the moving body. This attenuated his observations to the micro gestures and sounds that are layered within the body, which he draws on throughout his work.

    In addition, having recently completed his Master’s in Applied Linguistics has allowed him to recontextualise dance and sound through the lens of language. This has opened up exploration into the signifiers laden within the body and voice as we communicate and present ourselves.

    GlogauAIR Project

    This project will be a continuing deambulation of Berlin through the specific site of GlogauAir as I inhabit and move through the city. This will allow me to recast the cities histories through my own personal experience, as I bring my body memory through the sites of exploration. The GlogauAir building is connected to the many layers of Berlin and people who live there. This will allow me to play with the multiple undulating textures and sounds of its surroundings.

    The building’s past from its modernist inception in the late 19th century, the effect of the world wars, and its location in Kreuzberg with its history of repurposing the abandoned are all a particular part of the history of Berlin which have peculiars about how people relate to space. This residency will aim to draw on and rearticulate these aspects to emphasis the lives and memories that have emerged from this history.

    Starting from a process of gathering, I will record the surroundings through sounds, videos and writing to unveil the activity and spaces of the city. This will allow for tracing and rearticulation of these experiences through developing specific dances and movements as I constantly emerge throughout my stay, always echoing the place around. I will then recycle these sound collages, movements and other detritus to build bodies of work, which will emphasis moments that are unique to my experience from the residency. Through the different mediums of video, sound and movement – the works will uncover granular moments drawing on the resonance and dissonance of myself and the residency itself.

    I will therefore be aiming to explore ‘spaces of translation’, between people and the places I explore, between movement and sound, language and the body, all to find startling ways to uncover an unconscious from Berlin. What motivates me is the unanticipated discoveries, slippages, and disharmonies when these bodies, histories and mediums are brought together; something that evokes an experience of urban life in Berlin today.

    Statement

    During her time in the industry as an actress, Michaela has noticed that films encouraging social and individual change are poorly funded. Those that have the financial support have obligations to turn a profit. As a result, characters lack realism and are manicured to be agreeable and easily digestible. A change in perspective can be uncomfortable at times and unfortunately the entertainment industry’s goals are not parallel to that of individual progressive growth.

    Her wish is to nurture an awareness of perspective in hopes that those who empathize with the characters she plays are encouraged to grow within themselves and develop patience for others.

    Michaeila’s first on screen acting performance as Lou Marie Fisher was supported by months of preproduction improvisation and character building. Due to that fact, she had the time to curate a past, support it with textural evidence and create triggers that deepened her connection to the world on screen. It had a very serious impact on her personal life as she was unaware that this technique was ‘method’ and endangered her own preliminary sense of self. As a result, she became fascinated with perspective. She was seeing her social life, values, herself through a new filter. She became hyper aware of how our past experiences influence the choices we make. How repeating an action over time can result in an unconscious habit. How we can create emotional bonds with sensory experiences and have it support our self identity.

    Furthermore, she began to ask how character building can inform our current understanding of personality psychology and personality disorders? Could she study multiple personality disorder and mirror its progression to create a cartilage structure, creating her own controlled triggers to come in and out of these characters? What is the spectrum of character growth in this vulnerable area of study? Where is the line she would not cross? What is the peak of fictional identity authenticity and at what moment does dominate an actor’s mind?

    During my time at GlogauAIR I would like to develop three characters and explore how they inform our understanding of self identity. I will extensively document the process, exhibit the results and archive it on a digital platform where it may be used as a reference and influence for psychological & performative study.

    Bad Man – In opposition of the frequent written antagonist or “bad guy” in films, Bad Man is an androgynous flawed human being. Like any human, we make good choices and bad choices, but are not altogether good or bad individuals. Are we all justified in our own experiences? What does it take to empathize with the bad guy. At what point do we find ourselves craving to support them, lust for their lifestyle & live vicariously through their actions? What amount of fantasy is intoxicating for those watching? Explores power and the seductiveness of the ‘bad’.

    Marchesa – Based on Luisa Casati, an Italian heiress, muse and curator of the arts. Despite having every joy that was financially accessible, it seems she was terribly unhappy. Hauntingly so, in her portraits. What are the relationships we have with earthly pleasures and how do they dictate our identity? What are the dangers of surrounding oneself in material stimulation and what must one acknowledge to find stability separate of it? Explores sexuality and contentment.

    Fruitloops – Based on a character I auditioned for and deeply connected with, Fruitloops is a mentally unstable gauntly female who suffers from family trauma. I want to bridge the apparent connection between semiotics and psychological disorders. Once we identify the signifier and signified of a traumatic event, can we come to terms with specific psychological disorders and be at peace in the mind? What is the spectrum of that? Explores self control, mindset and the seeds of fear.

    In addition to creating these characters, I will be exploring healthy methods of coming in and out of character. The relationship an artist has to their work is intimate with purpose. As an actor, allowing yourself to be vulnerable and affected is necessary yet dangerous. I will explore ways to safety and professionally navigate character exploration.

    Statement

    Annelise is primarily an abstract representational painter focusing on creating energy and movement in her work, often drawn to portraiture and figure paintings. Her painting style is lively and often full bodied working on large scale surfaces to fully immerse the viewer and create a more intense experience.

    Her process of creating artworks is highly intuitive using colours and marks that she feels best portray the subject but not necessarily painting what is directly being viewed. This process is based on present emotional and mental state at the time of creation as this changes how she views both the subject and the work being created.

    Allowing these elements to influence her creative process forms emotive works and intriguing relationships between the object/s and the audience as it feels more raw and accessible.

    In art and life I am fascinated by the impact of music on people’s emotional, physical and mental state. Previously I have explored the connections between my own reactions with various songs seeing how the music changes the colours, materials and mark making of the paintings. Often I use my body to mark surfaces directly to establish a more authentic and direct expression of how the songs affect me. Through the duration of the residency I will aim to explore the effects of various types of music has on individuals as well as large groups of people possibly discovering new ways to experience music and how it can be used to alter emotional and mental states.

    Research has shown how music can be used as therapy to calm minds, alter moods and even trigger memories. Sounds also have the ability to trigger physical responses such as Goosebumps and increased heart rates due to a phenomenon called frisson. Triggers include sudden changes in melody, unexpected solos and changes in volume/intensity. I am fascinated by how it can take on such powerful roles and wish to look further into how this happens by creating artwork about my personal experiences as well as connecting with other artists and people on an international level to gain further insight.

    Music takes on many forms and purposes. I am particularly interested in how music can be used as therapy whether intentional or not, and a way of connecting people in small or large capacities. Music can be an interpersonal and intimate experience or can be shared amongst many as creating a sense of solitude, community, celebration and/or release. For example how someone experiences intense electronic music can be mesmerising or entrancing whilst another may find it stressful and frustrating. I am interested to see how similar or different each of these cases would translate visually potentially leading to an understanding of how people experience music.

    I will use my time in the residency to explore human connections with music and its wider influences in more depth. Berlin is a city full of life, music and cultural diversity making it a prime place to explore this theme. Whilst in Berlin I will have the opportunity to be exposed to music in many forms, genres and different setting allowing me to thoroughly explore my concept.

    Statement

    Ian Jehle’s areas of focus are mathematics, game theory and participatory art making. While his primary experience is as an artist and teacher, his educational and professional background also includes engineering and mathematics. As such, he is deeply interested in the ways in which mathematical principals appear as part of our everyday experience of the world, not only through architecture and industrial design but also in the way people experience and use mathematics, often intuitively, in their decision making.
