    Statement

    I am an interdisciplinary artist using printmaking, drawing, video and installation as my primary mediums. The ideas in my works stem from an interpersonal realm, but they speak out to different individuals and communities that undergo abrupt and suspended situations in various scenarios. While navigating among different narratives, my works negotiate the uncertain status and the constant state of hovering and flux taking place in their subject’s proximate and distant surroundings. My projects usually focus on binaries: absence & presence, indoor & outdoor, visible & invisible.

    The videos function as drawings with a time dimension; instead of having sharp beginnings and ends they consist of looped episodes with no exit points, that imply the gist of a narrative in an abstract manner rather than suggesting a linear story.

    It is as if a single drawing/print comes to life/motion. On the other hand the prints capture a moment of pause and stillness, a transition between two phases that is emptied from the aspect of time.

    GlogauAIR Project

    The three sections in my most recent project “Refrain” are in dialogue through repetition, loops, patterns and ultimately the notion of trap.Through the process of recurrence in the motif of the nets and the looped narratives with no exit points, meanings get lost, added and distorted. The nets and their encompassing void together and solely implicate a space in which the figures are confined and trapped in. Within different parts of this project there lays an ongoing tension and an occasional leakage between inside & outside while implicating a sense of suspension and pause. These in-between zones are connected by a thread, the mountain.

    In the same vein but with a new direction, I will continue working on the subject of repetition and tensions between binaries. This will be a multi-media project. In the course of the residency the ideas and techniques will unfold and take new paths based on the experience of being in the program’s environment and the city of Berlin.

    In my practice drawing, prints, videos and installations complement the idea rather than being dictated by it. An open space between the developing works and ideas allows for a back and forth conversation that creates the core of my discourse.

    Statement

    My work serves as content through which to explore technique, formal concerns, and experimentation. My process is rooted in drawing, but I bring new perspectives to each work by experimenting with the materiality of painting, printmaking, and photography. I explore different approaches to portraiture with larger themes of community and intimacy, reflecting on the relationships between the artist in space, the artist and model, the artist as a teacher, and the artist in collaboration. I believe that the viewer is as interesting as the artist, and therefore I am particularly interested in artwork that gives the viewer agency. I believe that critical ideas in fine art should be presented with as much intellectual accessibility as possible to the general public.

    GlogauAIR Project

    At GlogauAIR, I will explore the gap in translation and make tangible the feeling of ephemeral loss of understanding between languages. In the written word, the medium between the artist’s thoughts and feelings and the reader is language. When a poem or piece of writing is translated, some of the nuance is lost between mediums. Much like in translation between languages, the information in a drawing can be distorted by its medium. I will draw using techniques where I lose control over the medium, so that my images are subject to warp and change. The viewer is left with a document that looks just symbolic enough to signify a memory and meaning. One can intuitively feel a semblance of what was once there while still feeling the layer of visual information lost. I will make a series of ink and watercolor drawings and collages on wet paper. This creates distortions that allude to the clearer image that was once on the paper but that was lost to the time and materiality of the medium.

    Statement

    Creating is my constant, it’s how I navigate through life, making my work autobiographical and cyclical in its nature. It’s a sensual and investigative process, led by my experiences and intuition. Fabricating other worldly scenarios, I integrate body art, performance, location and costume. Painting this journey exposes my raw and intimate response; the physical act becoming a performance in itself. People are my main source of my inspiration. I’m fascinated by themes of identity, archetypes and other worlds; my work existing somewhere between what I live and imagine. I consciously seek new situations; creating juxtapositions in, environment, sound, landscape and familiarity, making new found clarity in the unknown. My work explores the realms of the feminine, delving in to the psyche in all its varied and contrasting manifestations. I go through both a transformative and reflective process, in the pursuit to uncover the relationship between self, other and the space between.

    GlogauAIR Project

    My project is centered in perception, both in ways of seeing and in ways of being. I want to explore the present moment, the encounter ‘the self, the other and the space between.’ Responding to my surroundings I will set myself tasks involving instinctive play; exploring my pace, visual points of view, the sounds I hear, the people I meet. Using blindfolds, mirrors, movement, sound, breath work and lenses, I want to discover how the senses inform one another, the effect they have on my practice and what distortions appear. Using the studio as a stage to perform my journey, I will paint from life, memory and imagination; documenting my changes and those around me, collecting faces and spaces in flux. Residencies have been key in accelerating my development; engaging with people and places around the globe, challenges my perceptions and the way I work. From my experience, Berlin is full of diversity, history and character, being the perfect place to implement ‘perceptions’.

    Devin Chambers is interested in interactive work, relational aesthetics, and the intersection of art and technology.


    Meet the Artist

    During his Residency in GlogauAIR, Chambers focused his work on the warping and poetic nature of memories that exist in both physical and digital spaces. These memories are linked to the stark and unchanging non-space around us, often serving as industrial or structural purposes.

    Statement

    Devin Chambers is a Canadian new media artist and community organizer. He is interested in interactive work, relational aesthetics, and the intersection of art and technology. His current body of work studies the warping and poetic nature of memories that exist in both physical and digital spaces. These memories are linked to the stark and unchanging non-spaces around us.

    These non-spaces often serve an industrial or structural purpose, but have unintended and more important secondary purposes. They are meant to be moved through and not lingered in. These disposable, private spaces can support youthful revelry, contemplation, and escapism. They are a venue for activities that in other spaces are deemed inappropriate or shameful by either the controllers of the spaces or ourselves.

    The memories imbued in these tired places appear all at the same time making it impossible to establish a clear narrative as if everything happened at the same time. Over time these memories become fragmented, removed from their emotional context, and endlessly misremembered. Revisiting the reality of these places forces a sense of honesty onto our narratives.

    GlogauAIR Project

    During my time at GlogauAir I will be conflating physical memories with digital spaces and digital spaces with physical memories.

    The digital environments are contorted images of unique infrastructure. The physical memories are moments of embodiment that have replaced logical details.

    Through this work, I will imagine ways to restructure the process of recording memories and explore memories in physical and digital spaces.

    I will explore these ideas through a combination of the methodologies of film, installation and Sculpture.

    Statement

    Amanda McMicken is a visual artist whose artwork allows her to find stillness in the noise. Stillness is a crucial yet constant struggle for McMicken. Using various grounding techniques, McMicken investigates the connection of body and mind through various mediums, mainly through the visual depiction of sound. No matter the medium, her process of making work can be described as time-consuming and obsessive, yet therapeutic.

    GlogauAIR Project

    While at GlogauAIR I plan to continue developing my relationship to sounds in my work. These visual sound studies originate from long walks observing my surroundings, very specific to my own experience in a landscape. During my residency, I intend to continue working with these sound explorations and find a way to replace the typical “viewer” as more of an active participant in the work.

    Statement

    Cristina Santos Muniesa is a Spanish visual artist currently based in Berlin. She obtained her MFA in Valencia UPV and broadened her artistic practice and education in Mexico City UNAM. In her work she analyses our daily life relationship with image production and reception within the Internet, smartphones and social networks. Her artistic practice may use photography and video, but it is deeply rooted in painting.

    The image is fast, easy to produce, easy to swallow, an excess that becomes emptiness. Spectators, before the horror of boredom, can’t hold themselves back. They are caught in a continuous present of visual excitement where, once exhausted, language becomes thinner, loses meaning and tends towards abstraction.

    Through her pieces, Santos Muniesa reflects on how the level of involvement and awareness of users affects the distance we maintain with the reality and meaning of images, without losing sign of the capitalist interests benefiting from people’s mind’s limitation and transformation of our impulses into bad habits.

    Her practice compares visual accelerated time with pictorial production, focusing on the events affecting interpretation and access to information, under an aesthetic of the residual, of everything that can’t be retained.

    When the distance between reality and its representation increases, when reason and vision are insufficient, where can we find shape, skin, contact?

    The spectator-user is trapped in a continuous present of visual excitement where once exhausted, language becomes thinner, loses sense and tends to abstraction.

    The project analyzes the relationship between the economical exploitation of the weaknesses of our mind and the saturation of free-time in the quotidian use of internet and mobile devices.

    Platforms Economy benefits themselves from our mind’s limitations and transforms our impulses into bad habits. App’s notifications as a reward, along with an easy logic and little involvement of the subject, generates a sensation of transparency and relational immediacy which, however, affects our attention-span and turns out into a non-stop visual consumption, a voracious dependency that holds us back.

    Videos, photographs, painting and their arrangement in different installations would crowd and completely saturate the space in an atmosphere of ephemeral rewards that would overwhelm the viewer and transform the meaning and content of the image into abstraction.

    Statement

    Elisa Garcia De La Huerta is a multi/interdisciplinary visual artist. Currently she focuses on two mediums: detailed portraiture using analog photography, and performance art based on improvisation, movement and experimental sound. The two disciplines are thematically consistent, detailing the ways in which nature interweaves with different aspects of the modern self, and post-gender politics.

    She is fascinated by the Shadow of late capitalist culture, how it is fed by more or less conscious strategies of repression. Her work invokes the primal Archetype of the Goddess – Virgin, Mother, Shaman and Witch – in the belief that through a global return to the feminine in all Her aspects, we might soften our rapacious drives, creating more of a balance between our technological advancement, our relationship to nature and the refinement of our consciousness. In this context she portrays intimacy as a vital and unruly form of resilience and resistance.

    Her work depends on relationships, on intuition, on critical thinking. She thrives on the ephemerality of collaboration. She revels in the poetic, tactile and pictorial aspects of analog film, the punk post-digital experience which reintroduces the more emotional, nostalgically saturated quality of the vintage format.

    With the culture bombarded by an exponential number of images, she wants her work to represent a form of sanctuary, allowing a place where our connection with nature – including our bodies – might be resurrected, de-commodified, and re-beautified.

    The gaze she employs is both queer and humanizing, transmitting subtle, fragile messages through the inclusion of bizarre details or punctum which allude to facets of transpersonal and eco-feminist discourse. It contrasts with the sensationalizing spectacle of mass-circulation visual media, preferring a more vulnerable language which evokes quiet reflection, relatedness, an intimacy which can be genuinely erotic that is well-known in the history of painting, but largely obscured by contemporary culture.

    GlogauAIR Project

    I would like to explore through my work the intersection of capitalism, intimacy and nature; the ways in which an increasingly technological, egotistical, market-driven culture has dramatically contracted our private space, erasing personal time, accelerating the pace of life, and most piercingly of all, eroding our capacity for intimacy. More particularly, I am curious about the ways in which ‘urban’ nature has functioned as both a mode of leisure and a form of social control: providing commodified, clearly circumscribed locations and objects (well manicured communal lawns, hanging flowers on the edifices of banks) which deliberately function as a ‘relief’ from the madness of digital/work-obsessed culture.

    This use of nature is deeply suggestive of the patriarchal organization of the female/queer body. And just as there is a wildness or wilderness (tree roots cracking pavements, bird shit corroding statues) that resists this commodification, there are unstandardized representations of beauty that function in the same way. I am not interested in just going out and finding suggestive, symbolic images that might point to these broader conflicts.

    My creative process depends on carefully developing relational aesthetics that fits with the environment I am working in. It depends on me becoming acculturated, developing a critical dialogue with people and places, exploring the different and unexpected ways we rely on things and each other to secure our deepest needs. In other words the images need to emerge from authentic, shared expressions of intimacy. These concerns first emerged very simply when as a ten year old armed with my first camera I would take pictures of friends who would, for example, lose themselves interacting with a tree, or be indulgently buried in sand by the edge of the ocean. And this curiosity has continued to this day, the same urge but now within a more developed, ‘adult’ conceptual framework.

    For the last 12 years I have lived within various different communities in a broad range of cultures, finding new ways to embed my creative work within the relationships I become part of. The work I’ve produced develops slowly and organically, probing beneath the surface of things, attempting to harness the same mysterious force (sometimes love or spirit, other times just a blind wildness) by which the tree root cracks the pavement.

    Berlin is not just another place. Ever since my first visit in 2007 I have been drawn to it for many reasons: the post-punk bohemianism, the underground, the transgressive, the multi-disciplinary landscapes; then the friendliness of the city with so much greenery. All of this feels inspiring and relevant to the general movement of my work, and the intersection of post- industrial green urban spaces, electronic/ambient music and queer subcultures, dovetails with it perfectly.

    GlogauAIR is not just another residency. Two close artist colleagues, Antonia Cruz and Virginia Echeverria, both past residents whose work I admire hugely, have been encouraging me to apply for some time. I am a hardworking, enthusiastic and curious artist. I thrive in communal environments and I believe that having a network that combines support and expertise will only deepen my conceptual and curatorial outlook. Personally I am hospitable, love cooking, DIY projects, helping to improve the environments in which I live and work and generally contributing to social cohesion and health. From what my colleagues have told me it sounds as though the GlogauAIR would be a very good fit for my creative and interpersonal idioms.

    Statement

    Contextual intermedia artist Charity Be constructs unnatural environments and temporal-spatial situations in her art. She is currently interested in how and why we move our bodies individually and collectively through time and space. How do we connect, how do we encounter, what are our intentions and rhythms? Drawing heavily from philosophical texts and the cycles of nature, Be often builds sensory-rich environments with video, sound, textiles, performance and sculpture that heighten or disorient our senses, in order to manifest the invisible and experience the conceptual through our bodies.

    Presently I am thinking a lot about the connections existing between lifeforms–both tangible and intangible: air; energy; vibrations; time; space; experiences; language; culture. During this six month artist-in-residence period at GlogauAIR, I am exploring these interconnections in the realization of a series of intermedia installations and participatory performance workshops. Considering both horizontal geographies and vertical spaces as informants of individual and group identity, I am in part responding site-specifically, be that to the residency itself or the city of Berlin. How are we experiencing our bodies, and our connections and communications with one another in these spaces?

    Statement

    Vincent Laju’s artistic practice is multidisciplinary and focused on sound, particularly in the field of improvisation. He works on the notion of sound and graphic space, as well as in resonance with the different physical spaces in which he finds himself. Accumulation/Void: He works on the accumulation of sound and visual patterns as a rhythmic repetitive practice, in contrast to empty spaces, and observes at what level an accumulation can turn out to be a void.

    He is interested in the realm of the infinitesimal, and how within tenuous sounds and forms, micro-modulations can create unexpected movements. He questions the relationship between images and sounds, his drawings can be seen as graphic scores that do not necessarily require interpretation. The notion of randomness, accident and surprise has led him to a “sonic and graphic wandering”, a gesture that does not aim at a result or an end, but exists for what it is, and leaves possible an interaction with the context and its unexpected. He likes also to play some traditional tunes on the cello.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Berlin is a city that reminds me of empty spaces and the presence of nature in urban environment. The Shakuhachi is an instrument directly related to the notion of emptiness, resonance and wandering, it was played in Japan by the Komusō Monks (Monks of emptiness). In developing my work on space, and on the link between image and sound, I would like to create a mixed piece for Shakuhachi and electroacoustic, working with raw materials such as bamboo and cello wood, in contrast to electronics. The electroacoustic elements will come from a “microphonic wandering”, random recordings in and around the residence. Thus it is in resonance with the environment and the context that the sound and graphic work will be done.

    Statement

    Kate Metten (born 1991, Vancouver, Canada) is an interdisciplinary artist whose material investigations into oil painting and ceramics oscillate between abstraction and figuration. Her work borrows from the entirety of painting’s history and that of ceramic anthropology. This methodology allows a flexibility to address painterly concerns with clay, research into colour theory, visual perception and the still life, while also reflecting on Modernist philosophies of the Bauhaus, the unmaking of craft and material hierarchies. She is deeply concerned with phenomenology and the physicality of form. The internal logic of her artwork is determined by intuitive construction and response to material; Images and objects arise out of multi-layers of decision making to develop forms that are at once recognizable yet unfamiliar. The indexical quality of both painting and ceramic render dynamic impressions of mass and surface that preserve evidence of the hand and mind in motion. Metten’s preoccupation with the mechanics of looking, the psychological play of optical illusions, and our brain’s response to reductionist imagery confronts the viewer with the conditioning of their own perception.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Bauhaus’ Modernist grid is a framework within which colour theory and optical effects can articulate new research into neuroscience and cognitive processing. Dealing fundamentally with the language of abstraction, for this residency, Metten will deepen her connection to Bauhaus philosophies around craftsmanship and colour theory. One aspect of her inquiry involves a dialogue with neuroscientists at Freie Universität Berlin to interpret new research by making paintings that precisely render geometric compositional strategies to convey illusionistic systems that trigger eye movement through sensations of refractory colour and rhythmic pattern. Colour, light, and geometry play with our visual system to spark higher mental functions that remind the viewer of their subjective psychological context. These works investigate visual perception’s mechanics in the brain which inherently distort the symbols that govern our lives and therefore confronts the viewer with their own subjectivity. Metten is a multidisciplinary artist working in ceramics and painting; she funded this residency through the sale of handmade ceramic tableware. Using her time in Berlin to connect further with the modernist philosophies of the Bauhaus’ will bring their foundational research in colour theory into the 21st Century through the intersection of art and science.
