    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.

    from January, 2018 to March, 2018

    Victor Artiga’s recent body of work explores the omnipresence of the digital screen and its phenomenological effect on the human body. His work often incorporates devices through which we experience images such as, digital screens, projector, in sculptural installations, which merge flatten spaces with three-dimensional space. Having a fluid relation between sculpture, screen and works on paper he proposes, that we currently experiment a degree of affect in the way we interpret the hectic circulation of images and are trying to come to term with its new iterations.

    The two dimensional work is created through the use of hand made processes like collage, transfers, silkscreen and drawing. Victor intends to inspect the connection between the lexicon of image editing software and the human body.

    The two dimensional work is created through the use of hand made processes like collage, transfers, silkscreen and drawing. I intend to inspect the connection between the lexicon of image editing software and the human body. Commands like copy, paste, make pixel perfect, render, rasterize etc. heavy influence the way images are distributed and produced. I appropriate these commands and translate them into analog variations, producing two-dimensional work that holds a direct correlation with the digital image in terms of color, composition and perspective. My work is often a process of traversing back and forth the line between the digital and analog.

    I propose that questioning the essence of the contemporary image is of crucial moral and sociological significance. More than ever are we flooded with images we consume on a daily basis, and more often without any consent from our side.

    Berlin is a place that would be crucial in furthering my practice, since I believe it currently holds a unique relation to the distribution of images within a global context. My recent body of work deals with the physical and phenomenological transformations images undergo in times when the multiplicity of online platforms ensures alterations. During my time at Berlin I propose developing an installation that deals with an image morphing, decomposing and regenerating itself from the time I depart my current place of residency, the travel through the Atlantic Ocean and my time exploring the urban surroundings. I intend to explore the degree of alteration an image can go through while travelling through different landmasses and bodies of water.

    My plan consists in keeping a methodical record of images and sound using a 35mm film camera, super8, digital and phone camera from my time of departure and subsequent time during the residency. I will gather the material, combining images both into sculptural and paper collage formats. The resulting installation will be a physical collage that occupies a gallery space, morphing sound and image into a space that deals both with its site specificity and the memory of other place.

    I want to use the time at the residency to explore the details of the formal rendering of the images. For the time being, I am certain that I will employ the metadata of the files into diagrams within the collages themselves. Since I am currently learning Arduino, I plan to incorporate it into the audio component of the installation, making devices which have a paper component to them electronic/paper/audio into small sculptures throughout a room.

    If there is an open studio during my time at the residency I would like to have an open performance will the installation is up. Finally, I am certain that the time spent at the residency and the interaction with other peers will positively impact the direction of my work.

    Statement

    With an academic background in ethnology and through mediums such as photography, video and film I explore social relationships and human behaviour.

    I work with ambivalence and symbols to understand us humans as part of larger societal structures and psychological phenomena and to examine how these are reflected in our everyday lives. In my work I often have a focus on power, dependency, and control and where the camera is used to put roles in new perspectives. In my recent projects I explore the relationship between child and adult and the role of the parent.

    Besides that, I am also interested in the human relationship to time and the transience in life. In my works I move between the personal and the universal, between past and present, in a hybrid of the staged and the documentary.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Band consists of three video works that function together to explore questions surrounding power relations and dependency in a parent-child relationship with a focus on the relationship between mother and daughter. The three works use physical objects and the autobiographical as a way of making power visible as an involuntary activity and something that is moved and replaced over time. Band reveals an ambivalence and an interaction between the attentive and the violent.

    Bring to life something from nothingness is the central idea of MASCOGA’s work. Defined as a word’s player and its spatial arrangement, creation is a neuralgic element. For the artist the creative process happens twice (from idea to execution); a circular, concentric, and elastic process; where he questions absolutes, created imaginaries and the assimilated, proposing new paradigms. It is the notion of circularity that allows him to approach themes in a multidisciplinary and interconnected way. He interprets movement, and how the spatiality of points A and B make the definition of the artist. Crossed and influenced by colour theory (abstract expressionism; Vasili Kandinsky), the artist is also defined by trajectories and experience, understood as a spatial mode of being (Marc Augé). He creates his work from a process of enquiry and deconstruction of the incorporated. The curatorial narrative is part of this broad, deep, and indivisible process for the artist where the notion of purifying to the abstract explains his work.

    Kayleigh Maimaran is GlogauAIR resident
    from July, 2022 to September, 2022

    Kayleigh Maimaran is an artist from Cork City, Ireland, 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? What is your process? Why do you create the art that you do – what are overarching themes in your artwork?

    Kayleigh: I’m a multidisciplinary artist working with video, sculpture and sound. I’m interested in the connection between the subconscious mind and space, and how installation art can be used as a tool to draw attention to our inner world.

    S: How has your work evolved since being here at GlogauAIR? How has GlogauAIR changed your practice?

    K: The architecture in Berlin was a great inspiration for me and it encouraged me to include architectural elements in my practice. During the three months of the residency, I experimented with different ways of working with plexiglass and creating small plexiglass sculptures inspired by the cityscape.

    S: How did your artist journey begin

    K: In 2021 I graduated from the Crawford College of Art and Design in Cork Ireland and have been working as an artist full time since. I always try to expand my artistic horizon so I’m hoping to do more residencies in the future.

    S: Do you find art residencies important?

    K: Yes, I think artist residencies are extremely important. I love to meet other artists and learn about other people’s work. I also think it’s a great inspiration to immerse myself in a new environment.

    S: How does your art process look like? How does it connect with you and the art you make?

    K: I always try to create work with an immersive approach that invites the viewer into an environment that is different from our everyday life. I’m interested in the idea of creating a space that functions as a layover of a non-physical space and an architectural space. I usually work on sound, video and sculpture at the same time and try to bring it all together into a concluded body of work. I often have a really strong vision when I start working on a body of work. However, sometimes I have so many ideas in mind that I have narrowed it down during the process. I love keeping a little sketch book with me for just random ideas so when I have too many plans for one project I write them down and save them for the next time.

    Statement

    My practice combines different mediums such as video, 3D animation, sculptural elements and sound. I’m interested in the connection between the subconscious mind and space and how installation art can be used as a tool to draw attention to mental health, through 3D animation, sound and sculpture. Looking at the idea of a psychological space from a ‘Feeling Space’ point of view, I aim to visualize an invisible place that goes beyond the measurable world.

    My most recent work Beyond Liminal explores a luminous psychological space through an immersive light landscape by combining 3D-video animation, sculptural-light elements and sound, to invite the viewer into a transcendent place afar from our fast-paced everyday environment.

    Using light as the primary medium, the installation aims to impact the observer’s sensory perception, as large-scale lightboxes and the moving image play with geometrical shapes, architectural structures, as well as an arrangement of monochrome and multicoloured light to extend the room visually. In addition, an acoustic creation of space with ambiguous qualities enhances the concept of a place that goes beyond our meanable world.

    Based on the negative effects of long-term stress on a physical and mental level, the work gives a counterexample of our overloaded day-to-day life and investigates the idea of a luminous subconsciousness ‘feeling space’, aiming to leave stress behind by constructing a visual and auditory experience that seeks to visualise an invisible psychological space that seems to be somewhere in ourselves and yet beyond.

    Kayleigh Maimaran

    GlogauAIR Project

    During the three-month residency at GlogauAIR, I want to explore the relationship between viewer and artwork by creating an immersive light and sound installation with an interactive approach that allows the viewer to merge with the space. As my practice investigates the idea of psychological space, this project will focus on the visualisation of an invisible space and the indistinct nature of the human mind.

    Catherine Lejeune (she/they/them) is an artist-researcher born in Tiohtià:ke/Mooniyang/Montréal (Canada). Inspired by their studies in psychology and the art movements of the 70’s, their practice in media arts and installation aims to develop a transversal dialogue between technology, politics and consciousness. While obtaining a master’s degree, they pursue several residencies in Canada and Europe and share their work in conferences, scientific articles and galleries.

    As capitalism mutates into neoliberalism, biopowers are replaced by psychopowers. Instead of controlling-watching the bodies of the proletariat, the institutions now attack the consciousness which provides the majority of economic production. In this competitive context where humans are isolated, hyper-responsibilized and overworked, depression and anxiety become endemic disorders.

    Shine bright questions the roles and powers of research-creation. Does art hold the potential to counter the lack of sensations caused by the techno-political context which has been exacerbated since the pandemic? As an artist-researcher, is it realist to think that I have an impact in my communities or that I can help improve the world? These research questions will be tested by registering transversely in the artistic and scientific fields while exploring with reflective materials, medical devices and performative protocols with the utopian intent of thwarting the negative effects of psychopowers. More exactly, by inducing experiences of over-stimulation, I am interested in the possibility of generating states of euphoria close to those experienced during raves or transcendental meditations. This performative, photographic and videographic installation project updates the aesthetics and the questions behind the cybernetic and beatnik practices that invest the political relations between consciousness and the spiritual potential of technology.

    Statement

    Natsuki Oshiro’s work focuses on poems and traditional gardens to replace social symbols with literary perspectives by using her original pattern. As the same moon can contain several meanings by reading past poems, she believes that historic literary perspectives can be a window to make the monotony of the urban landscape a richer experience.

    In Japanese gardens, famous scenic spots are represented in a quite simple abstract way. The viewer can recognize it because of using same form. As they are not representational, they contain the possibility of expansion of the imaginary.

    In her work, she first creates a pattern that symbolizes the subject, and then abstract “the movement of space in a poem” or “the structure of a garden”. By repeating the same motifs, they become formalized. However, the form of the work changes little by little. One work contains another. The works dynamically “continue to be formalized” by being related to each other.

    My research and works will focus on the theme of point of view in Potsdam’s gardens and landscapes.

    Like paintings, gardens are created with the intention of the motion of the viewer’s perspective. They also reflect the thinking of the people of that time.

    In Japanese gardens, poetry and religious ideas are expressed, and landscapes change dramatically as you walk through them. The garden of Versailles in France is highly decorative and symmetrical, and the bird’s-eye view is built to represent the authority of the king.

    In 1747, King Frederick II of Prussia built the Sans Souci Palace and Gardens in Potsdam, reminiscent of Versailles.

    I would like to consider how garden styles from other countries were received in Prussia and the view of the landscape that the king and landscape architects tried to build at that time from an artistic view.

    Statement

    I would like to invite the audience to the specific time and space to look our body, which I treat as our own, as something temporarily unfamiliar, weird and a bit new. It could be a poetic transformation of the images sticking to the human body which we treat as something special. Recently, I am working on how to make the bodies anonymous and share and hack with other people like royalty free materials. Also this process has been inspired by visualization ASMR with body movements and some concepts of “unisex”.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Remembering the shared physical memories of choreographic movements evoking weird sensations as Vaccination, we do hacking and transplanting each other’s body parts. Through this process, we share own human body accounts with others and subscribe together. Then we recycle the parts of the body that have become free materials left out of our consciousness at the same time. In these series of practice, I will research the idea of “unisex” in human body by wearing other people’s body and wearing singular time.

    CV Summary

    While it is impossible to see oneself objectively from the outside, Shikichi tries to capture the reality of oneself through another human being that is composed of the closest materials. Shikichi is interested in identifying and blurring the boundaries of the human body in the process. Born in Japan and started making performances while doing sculpture and mixed media. And as the performance shifted more to focus on physical movements and body qualities, they began working on dance and more performing arts fields.
