    Statement

    I’ve been making my sculpture pieces based on the relationships between universal interest which comes from human instinct as an animal and the five senses. Each five senses don’t function independently. They are connected and compensated each other. For example, my life work installation ‘ soundscape’ lasted for more than 10 years, is a project to cross an acoustic sense with a visual sense. “ To listen” is functioned not only with acoustic sense but also with visual sense. Because to listen to the music from sound speaker system and to listen from a headphone are completely different experience. From this I could say we use visual sense when we listen something. I don’t dare to put any scientific analysis into my works. It is my policy, I put most importance to the matter which comes from my intuition, so that when I do my installation piece I don’t make any elaborate plan beforehand. I do it extemporaneously, like an improvisation. For all of my pieces, I work using my hands. For me, the art piece should have certain “smell” of the artist. To do this, I have to get into the materials, and spend a lot of time with them until I can manipulate. This is most important thing for me to create the works. The materials that I use are various. Almost all the time I change the materials. Sometimes I get the idea from the materials itself. I will continue to create works using my instinct and intuition only 3 dimension or more expressions are capable of.

    Statement

    I come from a coastal town in India, Mangalore. I studied mechanical engineering in my undergraduate years and went on to to study graphic design in my post graduate years. I thus became exposed to the world of science, art and design, through my academic years. I became highly interested in utilizing principles of human perception in order to make us question our actions and introspect.

    We, as individuals, make up the society and each of our actions make a difference to a number of things. But often, we feel free from the responsibility of the far reaching implications of our actions. We are not reminded or made familiar, to a full extent, the world we have created. I have always been interested in designing art, in order to make us question what we believe and subscribe to, so as to foster understanding and learning from each other, regardless of what we were before. I try to utilize the limitations of human perception, as a tool to challenge the limitations of our political, cultural, religious and other world views according to which we function.

    The objectivity in our approaches, openness to deconstruction and questioning, can make us more tolerant and help us see things in a new light, and this is what I portray and bring to the fore, through my works.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Our world views are shaped by our experiences and what we perceive through our senses. These world views, drive our actions. Our actions, in turn, have results in the world, outside ourselves and create tangible effects, felt by the rest of the occupants of this world. Therefore, our actions, and what drive them, become responsible for the world we create and sustain. Therefore, we are all given the task of being responsible, for the world we create. In order to create a world that is fair and just and provides a space for dialogue and analysis to everyone, we need to be able to have world views, that are capable of creating actions that can do this.

    We take our senses and what we perceive for granted, but our biological machinery is far from perfect. We human beings are riddled with cognitive biases, algorithms for making perception and functioning easier and many other design limitations, that make us unable to recreate the world outside of us, perfectly, in our minds. Our perception, that we take to be true, is not necessarily so. Similiarly, we are today bombarded by various means of information from various sources. It becomes our responsibility, to be honest in our acceptance of this information and be able to question the validity of what we learn and where we learn from. By making us question what we perceive through our interaction with the art I create.

    Through the work I create at GlogauAIR, I intend to make us re-think what we take to be true and do not question, regarding our political, religious, cultural, economic and scientific views. I wish to make apparent to the viewers of the art I create, that what they perceive has many dimensions to it. The viewer would interact with the work, and choose to perceive certain aspects of it. The artwork would then reveal the many other facets, that were hidden to the viewer, all this while, because of their lens through which they chose to perceive the work. Through this, I intend to utilize art as a means of introspection and hopefully, positive social change.

    Statement

    Marie-Louise’s work focuses mainly on performances as living sculptures: I aim to transmit momentum through the use of settings, props, gestures, costumes and sounds. By combining musical repetitive structures with sculpture and performance, I alter my appearance into dreamlike constellations, becoming a tableau vivant. Along with her own practice she arranges regular one night only performances, ‘O-N-O’, with the aim to create an independent experimental scene for performance and visual art.

    Statement

    A good artist statement should describe perfectly the interests of its author. It should talk about how, about why, about when, about where. It should describe methods, reasons, rithms and locations. My statement could talk about literature, cinema, narrativity, fragmentations, hypertexts. About letters making up words, making up sentences, making up paragraphs, making up chapters which tell us a story. About myths, legends, stories, histories, hysterias, fictions, frictions, obsessions and persistences. About protasis, epitasis, catastrophes which disintegrate in order to get a rhizomatic structure with a new meaning. It could include some philosophical quotes, some of those that keep us awake. It could talk about simulations, spectacles and punctums. About topics that, even if we want to avoid them, are always in our minds, words and thoughts. It could talk about my working process; perhaps too methodical, too obsessive, too absurd. It could try to define (probably in vain) my deconstruction and reconstruction processes, using texts based on images and images based on texts. It could explain that I use literature, photography, video or net art. It could explain that actually, medium is just a tool for me. It could tell these things and many more. Maybe different ones, more appropriate for a statement.

    Statement

    I’m a queer feminist artist based in Melbourne. Contextualised by identity politics, queer theory and ideas of radical empathy, my work draws upon blurred boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, confession and narrative. My current research is concerned with unwaged and emotional labour, investigating why and how particular expressions of work are devalued and what the personal and political consequences of this are.

    Applying methods of repetition and appropriation to a variety of materials, I engage with the language of ‘Sad Girl’ feminism in order to work through ideas of vulnerability, empathy and romance. Contextualised by an undercurrent of queer theory and identity politics, I use techniques of casting, construction and drawing from an art-as-therapy perspective. I aim to support an ethic of radical empathy through my work by combining sentiments of tragedy, tenderness and humour.

    My work draws upon blurred boundaries between fiction and non-fiction, confession and narrative. Influenced by the writings of art critics Chris Kraus and Jan Verwoert, this often results in text-based outcomes. Recent works have manifested as large-scale installations – printed banners, murals, public sculptures – geared towards a critique of the patriarchal histories of art making and theory. Alongside this aspect of my practice, expressions of smaller gestures materialize through internet collages and self-published zines.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Over the course of the 3 month residency, I plan to continue to explore the concept of ‘Emotional Labour’ and its political implications through research and practice based enquiry. Through the lens of queer and feminist theory, I hope to raise the (often unacknowledged and underrepresented) profile of unwaged and feelings-based labour.

    My research will be assisted by working with a number of different institutions in Berlin, including the Institute of Cultural Enquiry, the Institute for Queer Theory and the Women’s/ Feminist Artist Archives. A mentorship with Berlin-based Australian artist Alex Martinis Roe will support my work through our shared interest in feminist art practice and theory, as well as participation in her classes at the Graduiertenschule.

    A studio at Glogauair will also allow me to network with other contemporary artists and present opportunities for collaboration and resource sharing.

    Anticipated outcomes include a number of finished text-based works and participation in the Glogouair Open Studios.

    Statement

    LO-renzo approach is about territory, its boundaries and its resulting potential conflicts. He is making what he calls zoning on landscape as long as on art history, meaning boundaries each time showing the annexation of an existing territory. By annexation, he changes the initial function or signification of this territory and he distorts and take advantage of it. Then he starts a conflict with its owner, sometimes nature, sometimes art history (in which he breaks and enters).

    This appropriation is not without consequence. If he stops working, mowing, digging or cleaning, nature reasserts herself at once. Likewise if after following on from an artist or an artwork he stops making the statement fo his difference and his own identity, then he takes the risk to be gradually solved int he father’s path he has just annexed. When he takes possession of a piece of nature or culture, he knows doing that this annexation commits him in a fight without an end in order to keep possession of this territory.

    My sculpture and installations have been exhibited extensively in the US where I have taught at the Kansas City Art Institute. My site responsive objects, installations and drawings, respond to the spatial, conceptual and architectonic conditions of a place. I make sculpture of materials with which I have an intimate visceral connection. Industrial felt, found wood, felted wool sweater, soil, bath towels, paper towels, and used hospital towels are materials that I know, have manipulated and coaxed through my hands. They speak to the vulnerability and fragility of the human condition, carry traces of body memory through history of their former use, and create an absorptive silence. My interest in physical actions of folding and stacking finds its focus in organization and reduction and makes reference to artistic precedent such as mono-ha and minimalism.

    GlogauAIR Project

    Within my site responsive sculpture, installations, and drawings, I am fascinated with the interplay between the spatial and architectonic conditions of a place. Through an incremental means of building with utilitarian materials, I make objects that explore repetition, mass and void, physicality and weight, compression and release. Within these qualities, I find parallels in the physical and psychological states of the body, sensory knowledge, and the human condition. These often pliable materials have an intense relationship to the body, and the capacity to carry traces, memory, and a potent history of former use. My interest in the actions of folding, cutting, and stacking finds its focus in organization and reduction and makes reference to artistic precedent such as mono-ha and minimalism.

    I etch and play around with a single matrix, until it surrenders – in both the literal and figurative senses, letting forms emerge as they emerge, like automatic writing, without thinking, in an organic, instinctive way. I produce series or families of images and juxtapose them in order to create new images. My work is always a work in progress, with infinite possibilities. Sometimes I develop my work on the basis of monotypes, witch matrix is a drawing or portrait I work on in different ways in order to produce four and six portraits, conveying each time a different impression of the same person.

    Statement

    My work is based primarily on social issues, I observe and try to highlight and bring a positive outlook to the vagaries of this world. Far from being vindictive or pessimistic, I search for contextual committed and poetic expression. Through a cultural re-appropriation process, I seize codes, formal and / or material quotes and displace them. I often like to create pieces of opposing elements and find strong visual systems, assemblies, creating an aesthetic impact. It is the interaction between the technique employed and the meaning induced that makes sense. Each project is the result of this match applied to a theme. I re-examine the events, behaviors, situations, seeking to reveal the personal way by which I moderate my affliction. I develop a part of this process by the city planning vector: I question its social impact, or the viability of modernist utopias, particularly about the collective housing buildings to house the working classes. By travelling, I endeavour to exalt the essence of each society, through the relationship to its urban frame. I am also more and more involved in the issue migration flows and of course recently those inherent in European current events.
