Zane Prater´s work stems from and speaks to the relationship between people and the richly layered tapestry of the natural world. It is the lens through which the artist process the complexity of living systems and the medium through which he sculpts the cultural and physical environments we inhabit.
Weaving together botanical illustration, figurative painting, muralism and land-based installation art, Zane Prater engages with the realm of our mythopoetic identities, in order to examine and reimagine the narratives that we inhabit, inherit, perpetuate, or dismantle.
Drawing from the fields of deep ecology and humanistic psychology he offers a window through which to heighten the awareness of and connection to the earth beneath our feet, as well as, to the higher reached of our own human nature.
It is a search for how we, as humans, might uncover a more wholesome mode of engagement within the realm of inter-being, and to live, ever so slightly, closer to things and to the possibilities inherent within and around us.

Zane Prater
GlogauAIR Project
We are currently living within a global system, in which, our progress and development are directly opposed to the health and vitality of the natural world. As one force flourishes the other withers, when a house is built a landscape is covered, where our neglected spaces fall to ruin life sprouts forth in abundance.
Zane Prater intends to focus on the margins between these two forces, to search the cracks and crevasses of our urban environments for signs of balance, resilience, and harmony. To look for spaces, species, people, and initiatives who are living and working at the seam between the urban and the organic.
With this, he aims to create a body of work that illuminates and strengthens the bond that we have between our culture and the environments that we inhabit and to offer a lens through which a more fruitful and harmonious way of being may come into view.

Laura Palau graduated in Fine Arts from the Universitat Politècnica de València in 2015 and she developed her work in this city until 2018. From her stay in Valencia, her work was directed towards installation and photography, making this binomial her means of expression par excellence. Her work proposes a reflection that materializes in the photographic execution and takes various forms (installations, interventions, paintings and the construction of objects) to expose, and question, the excessive credibility that we deposit in the image. She currently lives and works in Berlin where she prepares her next exhibitions at GlogauAir in Berlin, Germany but also in Palma Festival Caen, France.

Swimmers
Swimmers tries to document what happens in the women’s changing rooms of different indoor pools. The changing room is a singular and neutral space, where a calm and trusting atmosphere is generated, which arises from sharing it with people of the same sex.
One of the aspects that makes it peculiar is the lack of distinction, the ambiguity between equals – all women are bathers from the moment we enter until the moment we leave. The stripping of our clothes means that we are not recognised in any style, nor are we framed in any social stratum to which our clothing may suggest we belong.
Thus, we find ourselves before a space where there is no distinction, but where women of all ages come together, with different interests and motivations that, were it not for their love of swimming, possibly would not share that space-time.
The purpose of the project is to observe and document what happens there with the aim of showing and preserving one of the few women-only spaces that remain in today’s society. The documentation will be carried out by means of small pinhole cameras and mini video cameras that will mimic themselves in swimming objects, in this way the intention is to document these situations in the most natural way.

Statement
Aitor Lajarin-Encina’s art practice has two dimensions that complement each other—his studio work in painting, video, and other disciplines and his collaborative curatorial and organizational projects.
Through his paintings, videos, installations, and objects, he presents the vignettes and situations of existential ruminations and social satire that invite us to explore territories of thinking and emotion in relation to a wide range of psycho-social and political aspects related to contemporary living conditions. He is particularly interested in unpacking human and non-human existence, everyday life and social behavior, addressing its contradictions, paradoxes. His art practice draws aesthetically from the traditions of painting, comic, cartoon, and popular and amateur imagery to articulates a figurative ludic effort to find productive spaces of aesthetic fulfillment and critical engagement in these times of widespread cultural anxiety. This search is politically circumscribed by different modes of critique of late capitalism, western modernity, and the globalized neoliberal management of both subjectivities and of everyday life.
In 2015 he co-founded DXIX Projects, an artist-run project space in Venice, CA that seeks to contribute to the art context in Los Angeles. At DXIX, they facilitate transdisciplinary exchanges, collaborations, and conversations among artists, curators, writers, and audiences to create exhibitions, workshops, events, publications, and other materials. As a founder and co-director of DXIX, he has been involved in producing and curating a very diverse and inclusive interdisciplinary program that now has a solid presence in the Los Angeles and Northern Colorado alternative art scene. The collaborations at DXIX allow’s Aitor to be involved in providing visibility to diverse cultural productions that are not yet realized while engaging in dialogues beyond the limits established by his own studio practice. He brings to these collaborations his artistic sensibility. His curatorial strategies resemble those of the art-making process. At the same time, his studio work ends up echoing in very intimate ways many of the unexpected learnings that come from these collaborations.
Aitor Lajarin-Encina
GlogauAIR Project
Aitor’s proposed project is to continue developing his COLLABORATIVE PAINTING series. These are paintings in which he invites other artists and curators to intervene in his paintings and host small-scale art exhibitions and projects physically and literally, INSIDE the paintings (Please see the dossier for more information) what would imply collaborating with some GlogauAIR and Berlin art community members. He would like to also use this opportunity to begin a new painting series, the PLEIN AIR series, in which he paints landscapes that he finds on consumer product labels as a way to reflect on different connections between landscape, nature and consumerist society.

Noah (they/them) is a Queer multidisciplinary artist and educator from Oakland, CA. Rooted in care and storytelling, they use sound for meaning-making and healing, combining soca, Indian folk, house, and experimental noise to create expansive, multi-genre landscapes. Working primarily with sound, they also utilize film, writing, performance art, and video to create spaces of radical imagination and possibility at intersections of art, healing, and liberation.

GlogauAIR Project
I would like to use this residency to further build out my offering space called Dragonfly Co-Lab and the corresponding creative practices that join in the collaborative/experimental nature of Dragonfly Co-Lab’s design. Dragonfly Co-Lab is an online lab focusing on the experimental practice of art and healing. This offering intends to bridge my passions of art, healing and liberation through a multidisciplinary platform. I hope to create a space with the values of experimentation and collaboration across disciplines, underpinned by the principles of process wisdom, rooting in care, and creativity for world-weaving. During this summer, I plan to begin my research and practice on the symbolism and resonances of the spiral, through multimedia explorations of my own experience with ‘spiraling’ mentally. I hope to connect with the other GlogauAIR residents so they can join in the collaborative nature of the Lab. I will spend half of the residency in Portland, Oregon, USA and the other half in Berlin, and will use this opportunity to experiment with artists in both communities, as well as the landscape of both environments.

Statement
Sophie Nathan-King is a multidisciplinary artist, working primarily in textiles, painting and site-specific installation. Her reference system consists of the abstraction of everyday encounters, exposing the materiality of routine, the layered process of objects and their design, whilst drawing on our spatial relations to the urban city.
The historical and practical origins of materials often inform the works Sophie creates. Enamel, predominantly used as coating for household features such as door frames and window sills, is applied to her paintings in an attempt to blur parameters between the subject and its environment, and to refer to liminal spaces.
For Sophie’s most recent exhibition, lengths of linen weaved through the interiors and exteriors of converted Georgian houses in London, now known as Gallery 46. Referencing hidden labours in its production through processes of sewing and ironing, the work engaged with the domesticity of its setting. Historically used for binding, linen formed a protective gauze for the infrastructure, whilst simultaneously asserting boundaries. Weaving through windows and doorways, it aimed to interrogate the margins of public and private space, and portray how these are becoming increasingly diffuse.
GlogauAIR Project
Over 3 months, Sophie will be collecting material from her surrounding environment through processes of photography, film, field-recordings, and writing. Narratives will be constructed from these findings, and reflected through painting, installation, and film, to reflect the inherent qualities of the city-scape and the social structures that lie within. She will examine paradoxical relations found in the aestheticization of objects and material, and their function, aiming to unveil the components that make up our designed worlds.

Martyna Lebryk
Martyna Lebryk is GlogauAIR resident
from June, 2022 to September, 2022
Martyna Lebryk is an artist originally from Poland but have been living in Ireland for many years. Martyna who has been a resident artists at GlogauAIR from July to September 2022. This interview is the result of a conversation between Savanna Fortgang and the artist that took place during September 2022 in the residency.

Meet the Artist
Savanna: How did your artist journey begin?
Martyna: I never considered myself an artist until more recently. I studied architecture in the beginning of university. I remember in secondary school I wanted to be an artist, but ended up studying architecture because it felt more tangible. But, in my head I always wanted to be a painter. Unfortunately, I always thought it was unattainable for me. I would go into gallery spaces and feel doubt in my own ability to show my art work in these spaces. When I was in university, an acquaintance of mine told me to join an art class. The class met in the evenings once a week. A bunch of people would meet up and draw for three hours. At the end of the course, the teacher came to me and told me they thought I should apply for an MFA for painting. I ended up applying and I got in! I was so happy. This was something I wanted to do for so long and it was finally happening.
S: How was studying your MFA? Was it challenging considering your lack of art class experience?
M: When I started my MFA in painting, I didn’t even really know how to paint. Fake it until you make it. They don’t really teach you in the MFA, they kind of already expect you to know. Eventually the teacher would ask me ‘why are you doing it this way?’ I didn’t really know what I was doing, but I was doing it. They would show me. I think it is good to be in that space to learn the rules of painting and composition, of light and depth.
S: What do you do as an artist?
M: I am a painter but recently I have been drawn to sculpture. I am really interested in the visitor- the person that enters an exhibition space. Them becoming a part of the work. How does the work make them feel? How do they interact with the art? A sculpture takes up space and makes people feel things. It makes the visitor confront it as well as respond in an emotional way, whether that be joy or frustration, questioning ‘why is this here?’ .
S: What is your process? Why do you create the art that you do – what are overarching themes in your artwork?
M: I am a very impatient person. I go for things. I have two different speeds to my process. With my bigger paintings, I’ve had to stop myself and go against my nature. The big canvases I slow down and plan the composition out more. With my smaller drawings, I move very quickly. It’s almost like a drug. I like drawing very fast and without worry. I have no fears about destroying the drawing. I don’t judge if the drawing will be good or bad. I feel free. Art is therapy.

Statement
I paint confused, and hesitant figures to explore our existence where seriousness and laughable co-exist. I work mainly in paint, using oil, charcoal and oil pastel on paper. My artworks depict bodily creatures occupying dreamlike spaces. These fanciful scenes explore themes of identity, agency, self-determination and longing.
In my paintings formally, I work with semi-familiar shapes, ludic colour and active lines, which help shape these ambiguous and crooked narratives. These works sit somewhere between a painting and a drawing. There is differentiation in the velocity between fast-sketched charcoal or oil pastel shapes and the slower marks in oil paint. In my process, the act of erasing is as important as determining what to preserve. This crude materiality suggests references to urban aesthetics, where things happen fast, bodies pass in transit, assemble, become visible, and, through that, political.
My work has a certain perversity, humour and fragility to it. The subjects of my artworks appear both comical and tragic — as if the sense of humour is critical to survival in this strange world I have created. Hesitant and restless, they waver between feelings of enthusiasm and despair. This awkward tension explores a sense of confusion, which affects our moral, social and political hopes.
Martyna Lebryk
GlogauAIR Project
During the GlogauAIR residency program, I would like to continue working on my ongoing project but also concentrate on the research and developing more sculptural elements. I’m interested in making something that can be seen as light-hearted on first look but then reveal darker feelings of helplessness and dislocation.

Maria Paz Bascuñán is GlogauAIR resident
from June, 2022 to September, 2022
Mari Paz Bascuñán is an artist from Chile, who has been a resident artists at GlogauAIR from July to September 2022. This interview is the result of a conversation between Savanna Fortgang and the artist that took place during September 2022 in the residency.

Meet the Artist
Savanna: What do you do as an artist?
Mari Paz: As an artist I work with natural fabrics and natural dyes like cochineal, turmeric, indigo and now I am investigating Cyanotype.
S: What is your process?
MP: First, I go through a creative process of reading and research depending for example on where I am going to exhibit, or in what context or project I am working to generate works according to what I want to communicate.
Then I start collecting images and fabrics that I would like to work with and intervene them through the act of doing and undoing.
S: Why do you create the art that you do – what are overarching themes in your artwork?
MP: I started working on fabrics, specifically weaving and unweaving them one day when I was dismantling an artwork. It caught my attention to see the threads that were appearing when I was unweaving and I started to make games of lights and shadows depending on how many threads I took out and how many I left. On the other hand, the very act of doing and undoing led me to a meditative state and to connect from a place that I wanted to continue exploring. Through the fabrics I started investigating the idea that all identity is fragmentary and is made of pieces that are woven together to form a whole that never remains fixed. To unravel what has been done is to establish the attempt to return to an original and complete state of things, the denial of time and its destruction. Under this idea I re-signifies the concept of territory and limits, represented by unwoven forms in tension, as an instance of encounter, a threshold that does not limit the possibilities, but rather enhances and amplifies them. It becomes an ambiguous terrain where different threads coincide and intermingle. Like the fabrics where the different threads that come off, overlap and cross from one end to the other to form a fabric that reveals the hidden framework behind the illusion of uniformity, reflecting in turn, with this act of doing and undoing on the internal and external process that affect our emotions, decisions and movements. I configure a threshold where the traditional temporal and spatial conceptions of observation dissolve, it is possible to observe a simultaneous construction from different corners and with different orientations, shaping a dialogical vision, where different voices converge and syncretically shape the discourse.
S: How has your work evolved since being here at GlogauAIR? How has GlogauAIR changed your practice?
MP: It was very nice when I started working for the GlogauAIR project because I followed my own line of creative process and when I read and researched about the place where I was going to be, I realized that Chile and Germany, despite being far apart, have many things in common that I could enhance in my work here (not only with the migration that brought to Chile influences in architecture, food, culture, etc., but for example when the wall fell, democracy returned to Chile).This residency has enriched my line of research in the selection of work elements looking for their form of expression, communication and creation through these new possibilities of execution. This experience has allowed me to understand some dynamics and to approach from some perspective problems and qualities that connect both realities. It has been a laboratory of experimentation to enrich my critical and analytical visual thinking in relation to my work. Among the works, there are some whose main image is the representative eagle on the German coat of arms and others the Condor on the Chilean coat of arms, taking as a reference the legend “The eagle and the condor: A prophecy for our times”. Most of the world’s indigenous peoples have prophecies that help them explain the past in the context of the future, in order to make sense of the present. Many cultures present similar prophecies: a good example of this is the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. This is not just a legend, but rather a look into our past, ourselves and our future.
S: What’s next for you? Where do you see yourself going as an artist?
MP: After the residency I return to my country to resume the work I left frozen to live this experience to the fullest. The first thing will be to digest everything I have lived, I have seen and learned and then to order the information and thus take as a reference what has served me and connects with my work to generate future works. I am in conversations with a Chilean-German Museum in the south of Chile that could be interested in exhibiting my work and that conceptually unites with what I have done here. As an artist I see myself generating ties and bridges of connection with places that enhance my creative activity. I see myself working in textile and taking it to its maximum potential through different techniques that I discover and intertwine to generate a coherent and honest discourse.

When observing the created fabrics, we appreciate a work where various materials and structures are combined and intertwined. Each work goes beyond the traditional limits of an art work and challenges the viewer to reconfigure preconceived ideas and expectations. The art works invite us to enter a border area, where the rigid daily schemes are put into tension. Paz works with natural fabrics and investigate the idea that all identity is fragmentary and is made of pieces that are woven together to form a whole that never remains fixed. She investigates the act of doing and undoing as a metaphor for our own cultural trajectory. To unravel what has been done is to establish the attempt to return to an original and complete state of things, the denial of time and its destruction. Under this idea she re-signifies the concept of territory and its manifestations, represented by unwoven forms in tension with metal pieces, as an instance of encounter, a threshold that does not limit the possibilities, but rather enhances and amplifies them. It becomes an ambiguous terrain where different threads coincide and intermingle. Like the fabrics where the different threads that come off, overlap and cross from one end to the other to form a fabric that reveals the hidden framework behind the illusion of uniformity, reflecting in turn, with this act of doing and undoing on the internal and external process that affect our emotions, decisions and movements. Paz configure a threshold where the traditional temporal and spatial conceptions of observation dissolve, it is possible to observe a simultaneous construction from different corners and with different orientations, shaping a dialogical vision, where different voices converge and syncretically shape the discourse. Paz’s works invite us to undo and redo the multiple pieces that are sewn to our being, closely observing that syncretic fabric that makes us up and of which we are a part.
Maria Paz Bascuñán
GlogauAIR Project
The project that I intend to carry out in the residence is based on the historical tradition that unites Chile and Germany in order to create new cultural links through works that intermingle the fabrics of one place and another, enhancing this relationship. Although they are different countries and with a great distance between them, there has always been a special relationship, not only because of German immigration in Chile, but also because of the relations that intensified throughout the 20th century until today.
I will create textile works, which will be intertwined through the fraying treatment that I give to each one, reflecting on the concepts of breaking borders and collective strength, as well as the reciprocal relationship between these that turns the fragments into a diverse and harmonious whole.
Among the works, there will be some whose main image will be the representative eagle on the German coat of arms and others the Condor on the Chilean coat of arms, taking as a reference the legend “The eagle and the condor: A prophecy for our times”.
Most of the world’s indigenous peoples have prophecies that help them explain the past in the context of the future, in order to make sense of the present. Many cultures present similar prophecies: a good example of this is the Prophecy of the Eagle and the Condor. This is not just a legend, but rather a look into our past, ourselves and our future.
This residency will enrich my research line in the selection of work elements seek their form of expression, communication and create through these new possibilities of execution. This experience will allow me to understand some dynamics and approach from some perspective (yet to be discovered) problems and qualities that connect both realities. It will be an experimentation laboratory to enrich my critical and analytical visual thinking in relation to my work.

Statement
Carina Chang is a first-generation Chinese American painter based in New York. Her parents immigrated from Hong Kong and the Dominican Republic, and she was raised between the USA and Hong Kong.
Her work examines the dysphoria around her cultural identity and self-identity. The figurative paintings surround the vulnerable and complex issues of self-image, exotification, and belonging. Using dreams, relics, and references in history and literature, her paintings seek to question memory to understand generational trauma. She confronts the unreliable narrator and challenges figuration in a Western world by representing her body.

GlogauAIR Project
The project explores the fundamental human need of belonging. By nature, humans are social creatures that need to belong. But today, the implications of loneliness are affecting our overall wellbeing, attributing to an increase in depression, anxiety, and other psychological and physical issues.
The project seeks to find answers for loneliness, and how we can create a sense of belonging within ourselves and within each other by drawing from our experiences. As we only see others on the outside, many of us have internal difficulties that go unrecognized. The project seeks to reflect upon and write the stories of experience, placing it in a larger framework with a beginning, middle, and end to discover the many truths about being human.

Statement
If the modernist photographer’s job was to organize the world into a series of images, the job of the contemporary photographer is to mediate the world as a series of images, and to translate their understanding as such. Working in and around photography, fibers, research, text, and archival methodologies my practice superimposes the personal and the political and aims to develop a language with the ephemeral.
Ariella Robinson
GlogauAIR Project
This body of work was informed by the life and work of German language, Romanian-Jewish poet Paul Celan, who described his writings articulating the trauma of the post-War era as an effort in becoming silent.
Textiles trace the boundaries between our external and internal worlds— curtains, clothes, blankets are instruments for assessing self and all the rest. By engaging with the laden histories of labor and domesticity found in quilting, I ask myself an increasingly difficult question— what is it to be an American?
When my body feels suspended between digital and material worlds, when my devices alert me that the permafrost is melting, that a democratically elected legislator deems that the solution to gun violence is more guns, all while I’m taking a picture of my butt in new pants, I wonder, where do we end and where does the rest of the world begin? Why does it feel so good to take selfies and pix of the sunset. What will happen to all of our photographs of flowers and fireworks when we die. Where will we find enough silence to avoid the circuitous nature of history amidst the cacophony of the present.
