Julia Kannewischer is a dancer, writer and yoga teacher, who was born and raised in Switzerland. From an early age on expressing herself through movement and written language have come natural to Julia and are continuing to be necessities in her holistic approach to life. After graduation from High School 2011 Julia did her professional dance education in Copenhagen, Munich and Kassel (2011-2015). The following two seasons she was working full-time as a dancer in the contemporary dance company ‘Divadlo Studio Tanca’ in Banska Bystrica (SK). During her time in Munich, she discovered yoga at the age of 20, which led her to a daily practice. Establishing and maintaining her own practice has influenced the person and artist Julia has grown into and led her to do her yoga teacher training in 2017. During the last couple of years Julia has been living, teaching, creating in her hometown Zug and the surrounding centre of Switzerland, Düsseldorf (2018-2019) and Berlin (2020-March 2021).

GlogauAIR Project
Since January 2019 I have been writing a text and creating a videoperformance every day, then publishing the work online. The consistency is an essential aspect of the practice. What I live through and come in contact with influences my creative output. Questions I seek to find answers for during the time of this residency are: How can I bring this work to a wider audience? How can I make it more accessible? What are ways to make it a live experience? How can I place it more accurately in this world?

Statement
Twins Corporated is an artist duo formed in 2016 by twin sisters Clara & Julia von Schantz. Their collaboration is based on the intertwined experiences that emerge from sharing an identical twinship. These observations are juxtaposed with how twinship is represented in society in general, and in pop-culture and medical epidemiology in particular. One such example is how twins are systematically mistaken for someone else, which contradicts the capitalistic Western imperative for constant individualization.

Twins Corporated
GlogauAIR Project
At GlogauAIR we aim to examine the history of Swedish and German twin studies through the idea of the archive as an artistic method – and its standpoint as scientifically undisputed. Because of the identical twins’ shared DNA, they’re considered to be valuable study objects for medical epidemiology around the world. Institutes dedicate themselves to keeping archives with extensive records of images, video-material and research on twin’s differences and similarities.
We wish to further develop themes similar to our practice: the notion of identical twinship based on our own and other’s experiences of growing up as identical twins in a western individualist society. What constitutes an individual? How does an identical twinship resonate with the idea of being an individual?

Murcia, 1999
My reflection over the last few years has revolved around everyday life and domestic history. My inspiration comes from personal memories in the family context and from the common spaces we have dwelt. All kinds of objects pile up, things that now I am using to create metaphors about my own history, based on appropriation and decontextualization. Memories, my memory, the trace and the passage of time as terms that form the basis of a large part of my work and my reflections.
The idea of experiential and non-experiential memory has accompanied me in many of my recent works. Experiential memory consists of the remembrance of events from our past: “we remember it because we lived it.” On the other hand, non-experiential memory refers to experiences not personally lived, to information we have acquired about ourselves but which has been passed on to us by others.
GlogauAIR Project
In the past years, my projects have revolved around memories, remembrance, loss and the traces that they all imprint on us. This focus has taken me to make use of unconventional materials, such as dust, orange peel or pages of old books, in a quest to connect with the meanings that those materials convey when taken out of their ordinary context. My purpose is to develop these concerns by linking them to my current life and the places where I live, which implies the inclusion of new materials and unexpected consequences towards a process of individualisation.
My work is mainly process focused, and at times even ephemeral. I have already carried out several projects in places like Dakar, Kassel and Amsterdam and the outcomes become part of installations and new objects.
In addition to that, is it possible to connect with the memories of individuals that have become anonymous to me? During the past months, I have been gathering photos of unknown people in different street markets in Europe, like Madrid, Lisboa, Paris and Berlin. In a reflection that goes beyond the invention of imaginary stories, what can I uncover about myself from these anonymous images? Like in an archeological endeavor, what physical and metaphorical constructions can consequently determine my works?
Underlying all my works is an idea about time and the different models that coexist in our lives, something that is very much present in my work process. Circles, spirals, vertical straight lines, helicoids… It is my intention to delve deeper into these concepts and their consequences in the construction of my pieces.

Raisa Solis (she/her) is a Filipino-American multidisciplinary artist who works in mixed media, film photography, sculpture, installation and floral design from San Francisco, California, United States. Her work explores her personal dynamic between immigration, home, trauma, mental illness and femininity. She received her BA in Studio Art from San Francisco State University in 2020. Her practice serves as a way to break traditional Filipinx cultural norms and decolonize the values she was raised with. In turn, creating visibility and encouraging others within her community to create work and share experiences not only as Filipinx-Americans but also as Asian Americans. Her practice also reviews traumatic experiences as an Asian American woman through her own gaze and the male gaze.
GlogauAIR Project
Raisa has a few projects planned. She will be creating a series of resin-cement sculptures for my project Heaven nor Hell and she plans on experimenting and creating sculptures of actual sized rice bags which would be presented on the floor, in rows, mimicking a graveyard as well as the “the line to get into heaven.”
This imagery does simply not come from imagination. When she was a child my father told her, “for every grain of rice you do not finish, that is a pound of rice you must carry in purgatory.” This was a common saying amongst Filipinx people.
Raisa will also present a video projection, Kain Na (Kain means rice in Tagalog, the phrase “Kain Na” also translates to “Let’s Eat”), which will contain scenes of washing rice and preparing it for cooking, displaying also how cooking is a labor of love in in Filipinx culture. Conversely, the washing process displays imagery of cleansing the rice be more palatable and better for consumption, like what Spanish colonizers did to the Filipinx people to meet their agenda.

The processes of circulation and transformation are substantial for Land of yyz. By catching the balance and following the harmonic flow of spiritual sources of information finds are discovered. Exploring the slavic and pagan roots, digging deeper into myths, legends, stories and ancient beliefs some possibilities are opening and giving us an opportunity to get closer to the creation of an ethereal, multi-layered halo. Resonating with the received samples and streams, collecting and examining them, then transferring into objects, gently stacked ambient music, scents or pictures. Created space is a place where the exchange of thoughts and energies can occur and answers will follow. It is important to form things with care, using the zero waste materials such as cassava, egg shells, rice, agar, flax, herbs and ash ;second-hand items received or donated by someone also often appear; because there is no physical matter which will remain for a long time here. Thus, everything will decompose and blur into the earth sphere. Dissolution and dematerialisation through combustion are the processes of creation which are the gates through which Land of yyz meet their subject. By brought compassion, understanding, honesty and care, the sense of relief and peace could be found inside.
Land of YZ
GlogauAIR Project
During the GlogauAIR residency program, we would like to focus on air and breath. Air as one of five elements is deeply connected with heart chakra, so we would create an air powered object-instrument working on the principle of free movement. The machine will be causing a singing whistle. We would like to develop a research study on the physical properties of the sound itself by building the instrument and working with sound. We would like to take audio samples from the ether/space of the city and make music out of it, absorbing sounds from different locations in the city, especially from places like tunnels and places where there is a draft, where the wind blows. By collecting sound samples we would like to create alchemical sound laboratory, where we would like to compose a music piece using also the created instrument. It will be a research study around air, which we fear so much nowadays.

My practice is embedded in a conceptual attitude, with connections to my interest in the origins of language, categories and systems, and complicating long-held standards around race, aesthetics, and value. Humor has an important role in my way of working. I am usually choosing the materials and media that best articulate my thoughts. To me, the fundamental core of artwork is the idea—and subsequently the thinking process that develops out of the idea and at the same time conditions it. I see materials as the physical manifestation of an art language to express the idea. At the same time, I also like to think of the idea coming together through the handling of certain materials and working with them. Material, display, lighting, viewer, architecture, text all contribute to the idea. When I develop a project, each work of the project is in dialogue with the others, like enmeshed in a common matrix, and I consider the exhibition as the final form of that “matrix”.
In that sense, content and form condition each other. My current project around encyclopedic museum, revisits the census and encyclopedic museum history in the United States. I started by creating gouache painting and shooting 16mm film. The initial experiments lead me to creating 3D video and painting frescos. In the past, I also worked with ceramic, neon light sculptures, oil painting, artist book, silkscreen printing and performance.
My previous project, Language Producing Factory examines a language which was developed as a secret code among women in Hunan, China. Later, the language has lost its functionality, women who know the language have been pressured into performing their cultural activities as entertainment for menial wages. Through video performance, I raised questions toward the double-edge effect of cultural tourism.
Furen Dai
GlogauAIR Project
The view of a ruined and abandoned museum showcases the site as it is when it lacks what most consider its value and purpose: the art housed inside. This focus on the “invisible object” infuse my project with an investigative focus on the aesthetics of the museum itself as they pertain to art history as a whole and the society it serves. The emptiness also brings attention to the museum’s invisible laborers. These individuals keep the museum in operation and play an essential role in the benefits all receive. Nevertheless, they were and continue to be removed from the equation during the financial crisis. The project brings to mind a dystopian future without encyclopedic museum, which raises awareness of the issues around museums in the twenty-first century.

I am a filmmaker, photographer, illustrator and writer. My work, everything I do, is fueled by a desire to express the experience of existing in the space and time in which I do, as an Arab woman in a patriarchal society. My creativity and practice is always an experimental process. I like working in layers and textures, using whichever medium calls to me at the moment, but language is always at the heart of it and self-discovery is its lifeblood. Much of my inspiration and subject matter comes from myself and the women around me. I am drawn to photography and filmmaking as an initial stepping stone and research, the foundation which I build my ideas on with illustration helps me cross the boundaries of what is not allowed to be captured by a lens or said out loud.
Amna AlBaker
GlogauAIR Project
The story I wish to tell is a deeply personal one, through it I am embarking on a journey of self-discovery to get answers I have been in need of almost my whole life. The project is a visual documentation of my grandmother’s life, her experiences and her journey from India to Qatar as a young woman. Her story serves as the key to exploring the landscape of Qatar and its communities in the years after the discovery of oil. Through her eyes I wish to rediscover my lineage and the matriarchal legacy which unites several cultures and has made me who I am today. During the residency I am to develop my practice further with a focus on research and documentation. The focus of this work will serve as a jumping off point for this long-term storytelling project. I intend to experiment with hybrid comic forms, illustration techniques as well as found images and sound, in an attempt to create a visual style for the expansion of the project.

My work deals with fleeting emotions of everyday by physicalising them into text and distorted images.
Our daily lives are filled with a series of events and transient emotions. Some make us boil and tear up irrationally. Although they seem perpetual at the moment, they also are almost absurdly easy to fade away. The frustration facing ever-changing moments baffles us and contributes to our anxious mind. We delve for consolation, a certain comfort to ease the distress. The endless hope of capturing the ungraspable and the act of searching for comfort feeds into my working process; capturing, distorting and reconstructing everyday text materials. I write/type/draw them down in an effort to make that evanescent moments concrete and clear. Involving rather repetitive and laborious processes, I consider my work as a meditation seeking solace. It is a similar endeavour of reciting mantra, drawing mandala or transcribing the Bible over and over again.
It was only logical for me to use the language as a primary element since text preserves evanescent vocals and holds down abstract moments on the surface of papers. In addition, coming from the background of graphic design and as a devoted reader of poetries, I’ve always been fascinated by text both for their meanings and forms. With the strong influence of experimental writing such as concrete poetry, cut-up technique and conceptual art, my interaction with text is based on nonlinearity developing into the physical and spatial deployment of text.
The practice of reconstructing text with everyday epiphany is not only chasing the ghostly dream of everlasting moments but also trying to let them go eventually. This ritualic process of seeking Zen creates narrative space with physicalised text – the temporary exhibition space highlighting frustrating and destructive however beautifully ritualic Sisyphean dilemma.
Title
GlogauAIR Project
Using cross-disciplinary methods of physical and digital; combining digital illustration, video and physical installation, my projects are often represented as juxtaposition of parallel scenes mimicking the verso and recto of the codex. During the time in the residency program, I will carry on the physicalisation of the digitally manipulated everyday text. The future project will be on the trajectory of the selected works – The Book, o mar, Ritual of Mechanical Reproduction and Reading Ed Atkins.

On-line Weekend Winter 2022 – Interview with on-line Resident Gabriel Ribeiro

Meet the Artist
Gabriel Ribeiro’s practice explores the dialogue between video, photography and sculpture, which are sometimes placed in opposition. His interest lies in that liminal tension present in ambiguous states, where meanings dissolve and transform, to often create new ones.
An important role in his practice is played by materials, both organic and inorganic, like agar-agar, silicone, wax and petroleum jelly. They act both as signifiers and performers of the capacity to transform, decay and develop.

Statement
Gabriel Ribeiro’s practice frequently explores the possibility for dialogue between video, photography and sculpture, while embracing frictions that erupt in their articulation. Through these mediums, he has been concerned with a kind of liminal tension present in ambiguous states where meaning can be sustained, dissolved, or created anew. This speculative approach is activated by a series of devices that summon a certain obscurity from the material world, capable of producing unintelligible effects, often classified a monstrous.
Silicones, agar-agar, wax and petroleum jelly are key substances that act both as signifiers and performers of this capacity to transform, decay or develop. By embracing speculation his practice refuses to outline a definitive solution to particular interrogations. Instead, it lays out a series of propositions that seek to gape at, critique and re-imagine humanity’s relation to wordly matter and the designated supernatural.
Gabriel Ribeiro
GlogauAIR Project
My project for the residency at GlogauAIR approaches the unraveling of time by thinking with and through the metabolism of algae, in order to engage human knowledge and research with other forms of life.
I have been experimenting with agar-agar (a type of algae) as a substance that needs tending to ‒ being somewhat alive, the sculptures must be submerged or require constant hydration in order to avoid drying, or drying can be encouraged altogether, pushing the material further to its physical limits. In any case, it is a material that welcomes nurturing and displays a kind of transient fragility that I deliberately explore. This perceived thirst of the material is picked up as an incentive for installations that operate as part hydration system, part assistance device, attempting to maintain the sculptures moist and therefore intact.
Thus, the notion of unraveling time comes into play as an unraveling system – at once formal and biological – through which fluids are activated, absorbed, modified, affected, transported and ultimately, transformed. As such, the dynamic vitality of algae would constitute the material basis of a system beyond the human scale, while simultaneously provoking intimate associations with our own physiological processes.
This material investigation would be anchored in the universe of Uromancia, an ancient technqiue of ‘’reading’’ urine, prevalent during the advent of uroscopy, in the early 15th century. The science of looking at the urine for diagnostic purposes is as ancient as disease. Throughout history, urine, the first bodily fluid to be examined, has continuously and persistently provided medicine with an increasing body of knowledge about the workings of the inner body. For most of its history, uroscopy was a visual science; this focus peaked in the Middle Ages, when the vessel used to examine urine, the matula, became a symbol of the medical profession. Over time, the practice of uroscopy spread into the hands of quacks and apothecaries, who prescribed and sold their potions by merely looking at the urine. The consequent reformation measures of the 16th and 17th centuries coincided with the first attempts at analyzing the contents of urine. As a result, many of the chemical components now reported in metabolic profiles were first analyzed and identified in urine during the first half of the 18th century. In the process, what started as a science that bordered on divination laid the foundations for the anatomical understanding of the body we have today.
Thus, actions performed by our bodily systems responsible for processing water and balancing its levels in the human body, would be reenacted outside the body through the gellatinous and highly absorbant qualities of certain algae.

Statement
Sona is a multi-media artist, her work is mainly inspired by events and realizations in her daily life. Going to school near New York City inspired her to take part in the school of abstraction using color theory and action painting to create big scaled, dynamic paintings.
She moved to Berlin two years ago to explore the art scene and find new inspiration. Her current work is inspired by; her asking questions such as human beings’ purpose on this earth? how do our energies influence one another? how are we connected? And how do we take part in this exchange or what matters the most? She sees the female energy(mother-earth) as a vital part of her connection to the bigger source(bigger picture). Her paintings explore the female figure in a landscape without any clothing or categorization.
Representing this figure in such as setting is also a symbol of a “safe space” where she visualizes herself. Creating this “dream space”, this state of freedom and expression comes from her imagination ad how she visualizes peace and freedom. Sona attempt to open the conversation about the importance of going inward and exploring oneself mind and psyche, on a personal level and also as a way to connect.
