    GlogauAIR Project

    Roxanne is currently immersed in an 3-month long residency designing architectural instruments for the pedestrian body. She is working on a series of tuned floor tiles and rhythm generating ramps, intended act as a hinge between the acoustic ecologist conception of the soundscape and a kitsch notion of listening.

    In both of these projects design is considered as a tool to focus attentive listening. Focus on the sound of the bodies’ movements and surrounding soundscape becomes a radical act, working in opposition to the current commodified and corporate understanding of music and listening. By reclaiming our curiosity in the relationship between our own bodies and their surroundings, we are reminded that sound can be used to celebrate an in-the-present democratic reality rather than a mediated media-saturated existence.

    This work is inspired by the subtlety and specificity of timbre, attempting to balance blunt and obvious cues to listen, with ambiguous and ineffable shifts. The investigations are deliberately acoustic, tactile and tangible, focused on exploring the sonic potentials of both materials and detailing.

    Statement

    Always I pretend to be calm in my common life. But I can reveal myself only in photographs which is especially out of focus and looks underexposure. These cloudy photographs are the best tools to gaze my reality. Fragments in my life can be transformed into the fantasy world. I expected the camera would stop time when photographs were taken. But I found the vivid color appeared in photographs was not frozen but still living passionately. The act taking photographs looks like stopping time, memory and even emotions, but at the same time, I also realize the love, jealous and desire to someone which are hidden in the depth of my heart. I would love to share this moving of my mind. And my goal is shaking viewers’ inner life as well.

    Statement

    My work is concerned with the private and intimate lives of others, and our obsession and fascination with the documentation of them. I am guided by the theoretical discourses of reality television and documentary practices, and often takes these forms as a starting point. I am interested in the impact that the media has on these relationships and how they are portrayed. Working predominantly in video, installation and occasionally, live performance, my work is critical of the documentation of the intimate lives of others, and of the subsequent voyeurism. Often twisting actions that have been performed in the past, I address the staging and manipulation inherent in the representation of a real subject, and the subsequent loss of control of one’s own likeness when represented on television or in documentary film. I address the impact that the constructed situation has upon these social relationships, and explore the power dynamics between director or artist and actor, participant or contestant by drawing attention to the often-constructed situation.

    GlogauAIR Project

    For my potential residency at GlogauAIR I will continue to work on my current project, which aims to create abstract and alternative responses to the phenomenon of romance reality television and the fascination that many of us share with the intimate lives of others. I aim to highlight the excluded members of society and critique the expected norms for both women and men proposed by this genre. I will critique the form that intimacy takes when documented for television by using abstracted forms of the genres of reality television and documentary practices. Some possible ideas to use as a starting point:

    • Work with one of the improv acting schools in Berlin such as Die Gorillas to set up a live date performance (or series of live date performances) with two improv actors playing the two daters.
    • A video project where I follow two people on a first date with a GoPro camera strapped to my head (potentially actors, potentially non-actors on a real date).
    • Strap GoPro’s to the heads of two people on a first date (potentially actors, potentially non-actors on a real date).
    • Work on a series of scripted reality television episodes, twisting the relationship between fact and fiction in reality television and documentary I will draw inspiration from the popular television show The Bachelor/ette (which is a new phenomenon in Australia) and conduct further research into shows which have responded to and critiqued The Bachelor/ette (whether intentional or not) in terms of mutual choice, vanity and ideas of masculinity and femininity such as Adam Zkt. Eva, a show from The Netherlands that was recently aired in Germany.

    The work that I create throughout the residency may seem abstract and far removed from my sources of inspiration acting only to distance my work critically from romance reality television. I hope to use the other artists participating in the residency as participants and potential collaborators. My project so far has eliminated the inherent competition of romance reality television such as The Bachelor/ette and instead focuses on the first date itself and the absurd act of filming it. It creates a self-reflexive environment for viewers of the date, mirroring viewers of reality television. I will explore several manifestations of installation for the work, aiming to create an immersive and self-reflexive environment in which to display the work.

    Our current practice investigates ideas & constructs surrounding identity, interpersonal relationships, intimacy & female subjectivity, through the mediums of video, live performance & photography. We seek to continually develop our practice through regular art-research, participation in exhibitions, residencies, & workshops; and maintain a network of support through fortnightly critiques & engagement with Artist-Run Initiative culture, here in Brisbane.

    For this residency, we plan to extend upon our research into the impact of screen-based languages, especially popular film & TV, on identity & how we relate to one another by creating live performances & videos that operate at the intersection of performativity & authenticity. We will push our performance practice to include more traditional theatrical & cinematic elements, in order to access the experiential & affective qualities that popular culture & screen-media employ. We will use the program’s focus on critical reflection to facilitate fruitful discussion & exploration of the changing nature & relevance of time-based artforms, such as video & performance, to better situate our practice within the shifting landscape of Contemporary Art & inspire new artistic lines of enquiry.

    Statement

    I am a visual artist working at the intersection of printmaking, photography, and urban commentary. Through long-term engagement with specific cities such as Berlin, Germany; Budapest, Hungary; or Venice, Italy; I examine printed posters pasted on city walls, and the anonymous passers-by who might rip, tear, over-paste, scribble, or otherwise retaliate against them. I interact with these poster surfaces by methodically photographing specific sites, collecting poster detritus and other ephemera, and deconstructing them in my studio. I have a Master of Fine Arts degree from the University of Wisconsin, and was awarded a Fulbright Fellowship to Hungary in 2013/2014. I am now living and working between Madison, Wisconsin, and Berlin, Germany.

    Statement

    When creating an image, the content is something that evolves by each shape, flat color, and symbol that emerges. My process is spontaneous yet methodical at the same time. I try not to let content lead the process, instead, the placement of shapes, the spacing of patterns, and the relationship between color are all deeply considered decisions throughout the drawing and painting process. My goal for the final product is to create an image that is dynamic and sound, yet playful and eye catching. The process results in a symphony of chunky shapes, bold patterns, and distressed fragmented figures. A hypnotic and delightful world of colorful noses, rainbows, and mysterious windows exist in harmony with scissors, spikes, raindrops and hearts either broken or too full to beat without bursting. My goal is to create from personal experience, obsession, humor and sorrow with the intention of empathizing and connecting with the viewer on an emotional and perhaps nostalgic level.

    GlogauAIR Project

    During my stay at GlogauAIR, I plan to further my practice and development as a visual artist. Since January, Berlin has been an amazing place for me to feel inspired and focus on my artistic endeavors. I’ve experienced my first artist residency as well as my first time leaving the U.S., which has been very conducive to my practice. I plan explore my ideas through painting, drawing and installation. I enjoyed working large scale in my previous residency and I plan to continue this. Residencies are a good opportunity for me to utilize having the space for creating large scale.

    The common denominator in her work is photography used in different ways. Her subject matters of interest are identity aspects of persons and urban exteriors, which she registers systematically to generate documentary series under different premises. In them, the orders are given by factors as similarity, reordering the images giving them poetical signification in the visual organization. In other works she researches about different technical possibilities of photography, manipulating it to create series in stop motion and photomontages, revealing subjects as identity and transformation. With these alterations she reveals aspects of strangeness in the image, with the ominous character this type of interventions allow. She has participated in several group shows in Santiago and in other countries such as Germany and Poland. She has participated in art residencies en Lima/ Peru, Berlin/ Germany, Gdansk /Poland.

    My proposal is based in a further research about old and “about to dissappear” arquitecture in Berlin. As many constructions are been replaced for new ones, I would like to use multiple tools of study to capture the process of changing of the urban fachades and interiors of abandoned builings: a) audiovisual media (photographs and video); b) recollection of objects (pieces of stone and cement;) c) printing with paper and chalk (over the same textures and traces of the walls). The aim is to create a historical/personal cadastre of the traces of time using the city as the canvas and subject of work.

    One interest that have crossed my past artworks, is how the city mutates from one shape to another, a characteristic of the contemporary world in which time is perceived in a different and faster way, and so along the way in which the conception of real estate is designed and built. On time, less persistant materials are used turning the city into something disposable, a loyal expression of liquid modernism. In that matters I have collected some referents as the spanish artist Marti Llorens. He documents the demolition of a industrial área (near where he lived) in Barcelona from 1987 until 1992. The result is a social document that started by a the intimate relationship he had with his neighborhood. His works explains how the economic interests invades city zones to create efficient and vertical towers “His images contain someone that tragic quality of wagnerian cosmology, in which two armys crush into each other, idelogy against economic interest.” (J.Fontcuberta) Berlin is a container of history and so are the constructions that had inhabitated its space. As a foreign artist I am an observant that come and goes, that circulates randomly into this scenery. For this reserach I will get lost into the city, without a walking path and therefore, document it like an urban archeologist, taking notes of the buildings and walls “about to be destroyed” for the replacement of something new, something rentable, the way in which gentrificaction and the capitalisation of the square meters is shown.

    The process of death of this old structures will be studied through bidimensional media but also through the direct contact with de materia, recollecting glass, stones and whatever I find so I can reorganice it in the studio, creating a sort of archelogical archive of all this observations. At the end I project this reaserch showing it like a museographic study, showing objects like a precious discovery. A visual reference of this idea is the chilean artist Maria Edwards, which makes her own interpretation of the cosmos by notes and drawings of her vision about astronomy.

    Statement

    I am a magpie, but a very particular one. I go for objects or views that are shinny to me. Sometimes I may use the object directly through filming, or I may make a mould of the object and cast it in wax. I start by casting an object that appeals to me perhaps because of its shape or maybe it fits in with some other piece or just because I like the look of it . In Film and sound I usually start out by trying to realize a particular idea but again I can add and remove pieces until it feels right, and this can happen over a long period. These pieces can sometimes cross over into print and take on a different form and meaning. Simply put my working method in all materials is very Sculptural, basically sticking things together until they seem right and work for me. The work itself tends to have a slightly dark element, of course in terms of colour and weight but there is humour perhaps a little perverse and slightly hidden but it is there.

    Ben Reilly

    GlogauAIR Project

    “The world stepped into when we explore Ben’s work is made up of things, materials, objects, stuff. Is it a door handle? A leather boot, A bag of materials that looks like but isn’t quite coal? Does it matter? These are old things. But the sense of the old is that of time as something pure. Unlike the reworking of the past we find in so much popular culture, this is a sensuous oldness; we want to touch and explore. We want to feel the object of time itself.

    The installation Zeppelin is one example. The title refers to the object of the zeppelin itself with all its historical associations. But when engaging the sculpture, we are drawn to its clunky feel, its use of essentially old materials, bringing us back to that sensuous oldness that is not the past but time.

    Another example is Bladderhead, a head cast of a weary, beaten down man; his eyes shut as if turning away from the sparkling newness of a world that confronts him at every turn. Perhaps this man is defeated by the glittering objects that surround him; the weariness he feels because of this. This weary figure pervades Ben’s practice across media. It feels as if he’s shutting his eyes in the hope that he can retreat into a world where the old is not the past but the shimmer of time itself. I wonder if this man is Ben, weary with this world and therefore making another. Or maybe he represents a part of me that wants to tune out of the present, if only for a moment.

    But then a light bulb goes off and I think that Bladderhead is in fact us all, cast in that cultural constellation Fisher writes about as so obsessed with recycling the past, and therefore looking to retreat into a world both sensuous and old: the feeling of time itself.”

    Statement

    The painting is a place of construction and demolition; I sift through fragmented remains of imagery for things that I can salvage. Forms are pierced, fractured, inflated, spun, shaken, morphed, and spliced together as I rearrange them in this visual container. Source imagery comes from a multitude of places like nature video-documentaries, sketchbook doodles, and objects like toy dinosaurs, flowers, or cicada shells.

    Abstraction is the means of layering and rearranging these quirky and mundane forms and spaces so that they become imbued with new meanings. I force photoreal elements together with decorative patterns and more gestural forms so that the contrast in perceptual “languages” implies a sort of violence. This is the violence that painting does best; paint-becomes-flesh and paint-becomes-vapor simultaneously.

    Increasingly my work has been inhabited by figures from art history. Tiepolo, Rembrandt, and Correggio give me beautiful bodies that are being caught up either literally “into the sky” or figuratively “into rapture” as they swoon under the force of seduction. Paint becomes swirling, smeared, and pixilated as a metaphor for relational struggles; misunderstandings and unfulfilled desire between lovers. It also becomes a beautiful, raw, even sexy presence in its own right.

    Kenneth Hall

    GlogauAIR Project

    I make work as a desperate attempt to reconcile or process the disturbing violence I see in the world. I approach painting as a strategic ground for exploring emotional content. Spatial ruptures and dynamic formal elements create a sort of pictorial or aesthetic violence when superimposed with the human figure. A tragic quality emerges when the body is subsumed by its environment.

    While at GlogauAIR I have been using collage as a technique in my painting process, both for the source imagery of the paintings and in making the finished pieces. I have been attracted to figures from the Old Masters; they invoke a sense of timelessness in my work. They function as surrogates within the paintings, referencing the original narrative, but also opening up new meanings and potential. I am calling the current project LOVEBOMB.

    Statement

    The reason that brought me to art is the feeling of coming closer to myself. Even if my work and style has changed and developed, this feeling has remained. My research focus on fragility. I work with different materials and manipulate them until they might be going to break, discovering their vulnerability. I am interested in the use of colour as a presence beyond material existence. The forms that appear in my works are normally parts of the human body, such as eyes, bones, feet or hands, as they are very close to our nature, very familiar and intimate; like sinking in a hot bathtub
