    The ATTACHING & DETACHING project consists of three parts: Beijing (RED GATE RESIDENCY), Shanghai (STUDIO GALLERY), and Berlin. I live and work in China as a South Korean citizen. I studied at Tsinghua University and worked at Huan-tie and Hei-qiao studios in Beijing from 2006 to 2012, and have lived in Shanghai since 2012. I currently live in Shanghai and Seoul. I have a map of my diary documenting my daily life and work in China over 12 years, including time spent in Frankfurt, Germany in 2006. Using this diary, I aim to create a map of my past. I also explore the tension of time, change, and my relationship with my neighbors and myself, particularly recalling the deep cold sensibility of Germany (outside Berlin). I aim to connect my present self with my past self, hence the title “Attaching and Detaching.” Ultimately, this project expresses my fears and vulnerabilities, and I hope to connect with new neighbors in Germany.

    paralysis – The 《paralysis _麻痹》(Beijing, 2012) is based on my experience with physical paralysis; it marked the beginning of my ‘Main from the body, not from the spirit’ theme. Recently, I’ve experimented with attaching and detaching painting materials from the brush, using various dispensing methods to create shapes, prioritizing physical experience over visual contact. During my 40-day Shanghai residency in 2018, explored differences in texture, surface, mass, and weight using simple found materials. Many pieces retain a raw, imperfect quality, which I find compelling. focuses the viewer on the process of appreciation – the ‘act of visual reading’ – rather than the final result, connecting external formal experiments with internal subject matter. In Berlin, I will continue exploring ‘the act of visual reading’ through ‘placement’ and ‘composition’ over six months.

    MIHI (Musical Instrument for the Hearing Impaired) Custom Instrument/Installation/Performance (2018)

    Concept: What if video was audio and audio was video? What if we could control what people see by what we hear and vice versa? MIHI (Music Interface for the Hearing Impaired) aims to be a step in the direction that converges movement of sight with the movement of sound. Originally conceived and inspired while working with Pauline Oliveros in 2015 and while doing music technology research at Mills College in California, MIHI tracks video movement via the camera eye, which, in turn, triggers sound. Then the sound is reinterpreted and changed back into vibration.

    During my residency at GlogauAIR, I will aim to extend this idea by implementing haptic feedback to the user and audience, utilizing vibration technology that mimics and simulates sound. This extension will enable persons with hearing loss to not only perceive music, but also to participate as a composer/performer. Using vibration methods, similar to the way we receive “silent” notifications on our smart phones and mobile devices, this project proposes a new modality for the hearing impaired to appreciate and understand music and sound, translating music theory and acoustic sensation to an individual with hearing loss.

    There are many areas of the human body that respond to SPL (sound pressure level) and vibration similar to the ear. The chest, arms, legs, abdomen and jaw respond to various vibrations in tandem with sounds. The cochlea in the inner ear is part of a major sensory system that enables us to hear sounds the way we do, but other sensory systems of the body also are stimulated and respond to acoustic vibrations that can help us experience sound, navigate music, and have visceral experiences through alternative sensory and biofeedback processes.

    Statement

    I believe personally a beauty of architecture is the best among the other art genres. As it is essentially different between excitement from 3-dimensional spaces to be obtained through movement of our bodies and heads and excitement from 2-dimensional paintings.

    However, sometimes architecture would be burdened by something apart from the artistry of space. For instance, architectural structures and equipment come under this disturbing category.

    Also, in an area of architecture, as the final decision-maker would be a client not an architect, the creation-right would be restricted deeply by clients. Sometimes an architect who could build the PANTHEON would make a BARN eventually. So I want to be a client of my architecture.

    I’m desperate to explore a possibility of ‘architectural sculpture’ in an area of freedom; art. From now on I want to call it ‘sculpitecture’ as a compound word sculpture and architecture. It is not an existing sculpture to be appreciated from a distance but a sculpture could be appreciated for audiences to enter a sculpture like architecture.

    In conclusion, to approach architecture just in a view of pure formative arts without those restrictions is the essence of my work.

    Issuu

    GlogauAIR Project

    It is a quite different experience between making digital works personally and doing actual exhibitions to the public. So what I seek most in the residency is to make physical artworks instead of digital works and to hold several exhibitions.

    When I divide 3 months residency period into 3 parts, in the first month I will produce and exhibit two artworks which I made just in digital images. These would be attached images no. 1~2 and no. 6~9.

    What I anticipate from participating in the residency is to make ideas just in my head to be real and to learn how to exhibit them effectively. Actually as I didn’t graduate from an art college, I want to experience various exhibitions by myself. So in the early phase of the residency I’ll concentrate on making the existing (but not realized physically) works instead of producing totally new one.

    In the second and last month, I have a plan to treat a new main project. To deal with an aesthetic of architecture in an area of sculpture, human~scale is needed necessarily. So how to make a sculpture like architecture, but not like real architecture, is a big issue of sculpitecture.

    Proposing some solutions about the issue is an essential key of sculpitecture I am seeking.

    At this moment, I have concluded two ways to solve it. The first way is to use optical illusion of perspective with just small models. And I could make a photograph to look like a real architecture. The second way is to make a sculpture in a gallery by using actual human~scale. The latter is more challenging than the former and it would be a main work during the residency.

    And I want to talk about not just a project for this year but for the next 5 years.

    There is a common misconception about me. That is, I’ll quit architecture for sculpture. But this is totally misunderstanding about my life~plan. I have a plan to make a positive interaction between architecture and sculpture.

    For my work, I think of a word to describe this world, this world chooses to present in front of us is absolutely not our naked eye can see, the truth hidden in the skin we can see, for understanding the world needs to rely on our analysis, rely on feeling, eyes are too accurate, I think the real thing is not to be able to grasp the language and some of the links.

    We can see the image too accurate, so that the formation of this error, we can not accurately grasp the world I often wondered what it was, I guess they are like a dream, some funny, funny or even unreasonable, I want to seize half awaken them, but they always choose to decamp, perhaps this is true there, I see is different from the moment, perhaps the human subconscious is and the world belong to the same structure, we do not belong to the naked eye can see the real, it is very close to the chaotic way, maybe we eye the most unlikely things through the most rigorous logic as a support there. So my painting hopes to show some of the things that no logic, so that all kinds of strange combination of things, perhaps by chance that the real world is the most recent expression, the most logical expression.

    My paintings are fuzzy, this picture sense like see potential world the moment of truth for an instant the surprise, also has only a vague is the chaos the real explanation. I like the expression heart explain nothing in this world, the naked eye can only peep epidermal, this is a big surprise, even consciousness into this unexpected world as real has been in we do not know about the operation mode, there is no basis.

    Within my artist practice, I develop my work through video, installation and currently, with living micro-organisms to explore the hidden and untamed facets of the self, that consolidate one’s existence. A pursue to connect with the most intimate parts of the being – through the body’s biological and non-physical dimensions. A search for underlying aspects, that might have been neglected or put aside, due to their unsettling characteristics, but that when denied, grow stronger, infiltrating and expanding under the surface. I use the notion of the body to reflect upon opposing topics such as internal and external, the visible and the obscure, desire and repulse.

    Bruna Mayer

    GlogauAIR Project

    Through a visual, temporal and spatial construction, Bruna creates an ambiguous encounter between the secluded and the unknown within, finding beauty in the most unexpected of places. Currently exploring and experimenting with living micro-organisms and the invisible ecosystem within the body – its undermined, natural and untamed existence, that makes up an essential part of life. Within enclosed containers, these invisible living creatures can grow and proliferate freely, while forming their own unique and uncontrollable patterns, as they spread and thus becoming visible to the viewer. Likewise, our innermost aspects – our impulses and primitive desires – also need to be nurtured and cultivated in a safe territory in order to exist freely, without neglect or fear, but rather, acceptance and assimilation with one’s self as they are our most dominant source of potency, creativity and strength. The work invites viewers to connect with their most intimate self and perhaps access neglected inner states.

    Statement

    There is a strong idea of homogeneity between the different works of Aaron Daem, this counts not only for the paintings but also for his drawings he makes. The seemingly childlike images like a boat, a sun and waves are painted with great accuracy, the under layers that are visible through the image refer to an intense painterly and substantive search. The sensitivity that those simple images receive creates a contrasting result. The use of his balanced colorite tells us something about the painting in the past but undeniably from his contemporary position. You can experience the works with a great amusement but on the other side there is a critical point of view towards the medium itself. (A jury report)

    Aaron Daem

    GlogauAIR Project

    During the GlogauAIR residency, I want to focus on the limits and values of an image. To discover how an image can maneuver in a contemporary landscape, especially in the case of the painting. The painting which has, since the early 80’s, started with the following question: can you still paint? Therefore I want to develop a research from multiple points of view, to put different components and contexts together in hopes of creating autonomous images. The result of this will be decided by the environment and his side effects. With this residency I will have the space to confront myself with the developments and results who will evolve during the residency.

    Statement

    We are always surrounded by the concept of time. We recognize the exact time by looking at the clock and then deciding what to do. However, we wonder if “that time” is actually correct. For seeking the answer to endless questions, we have visualized our “time concept” and created a device to reconsider it. We always try to represent “the time” by overlaying the lights, shadows, sounds, and air that are created by that device. We take particular note of “ticking” in the major theme “time”. Using power makes the art piece alive, and also allows us to present “ticking” objectively and clearly. We have broken down, destroyed “the time,” then restructured it. Even after we released our art pieces, the embedded power continues to form the time. Our art pieces truly become complete after having the additional time formation.

    Yurika Sunada

    GlogauAIR Project

    When I face the moment of feeling excited or fulfilled, I always think I would like to memorise everything, including the air, at that moment. Opening my eyes and lending my ears, I always attempt to gain information from all five senses. However, that moment will soon become a memory, which although was once clear, will fade out and become ambiguous. Although I intend to save the memory perfectly, it becomes blurred or faded when I recall the memory at another time. The memories I’ve accumulated so far mix, and the information obtained from conversations with others twists and bends those memories that should have been complete. I never want to record my memories visually, such as in a picture, but I want to keep the memory of the moment.

    – Distortion of memory –

    First of all, I tried to visualise and express distorted memories that are reproduced in the brain, in order to verify the memory distortion.

    Alejandro Urrutia works with the synergies between architectural and sculptural principles. After ten years as an architect he now uses the medium of sculpture to play with how architectural rules can be reinterpreted and transgressed.

    He draws on the rich relationship between his two disciplines to generate new perspectives within the forms he creates and to consider how a piece relates within its physical and social context.

    Production of ‘complementary opposites’: a series of sculptures that represents the existence of cycles in life, cycles formed by the interplay of interdependent opposite, mutually constituted and moving spirally. Sol y Luna was the first piece of the series. El Sol, denoted as masculine in the Spanish language and La Luna, denoted as feminine, also imply other complementary opposites in life flowing harmoniously such as day and night, North and South, Summer and Winter.

    Statement

    Alexendra Slava’s main interest lies in using the figure as a vehicle for exploring, discovering, and ultimately conveying the different aspects of human condition. All of her work emerges from a place of constant introspection. However, her eyes often grow restless, and she directs them outward looking for the visual embodiment of all that comes from within.

    Slava has always enjoyed the physical act of sculpture-making. As a sculptor, she is not limited by the boundaries of a frame. It is her unique challenge and opportunity to fill and transform space, constructing a bridge between the world of ideas and reality. Yet, no matter how clear the concept of a given work may be, its true form and meaning can only be revealed by way of deliberate and meticulous manipulation of the material. And so, she is deeply committed to the careful observation required to translate nature into a universal and transcendent artistic form.

    It is believed that what is most personal is also most universal. So, in order to try and achieve an honest portrayal of our existence, Slava finds it necessary to first engage with her own private experiences. In this way, each new piece becomes another chapter in her memoir and an open display of honesty for herself and the viewer. This often-tenuous but remarkably gratifying relationship between conceptual ideas, her work, and those who respond to it, is why she devotes so much of herself to the practice of visual expression.

    GlogauAIR Project

    The project that I’d like to develop during the residency at GlogauAIR is titled “The Six Faces of Love”.

    However commonplace the subject may seem in modern culture, where love is mainly viewed as the feeling of romance and deep affection, I have long been interested in examining the different aspects of this holistic notion. Such line of thinking was inspired by the various types of love recognized by the ancient Greeks and expressed in six distinct words: éros, philía, agápe, storgē, pragma, and philautia. Each of these terms offers a revitalizing ground for exploring the complex nature of human interactions and challenging the modern construct of all-embracing romantic love. The lack of nuance in such an intricate matter may lead to all sorts of prejudice, frustration and the threatening perversion of what should be the highest expression of humanity. I believe art can help us better understand the full complexity of the issue, and as an artist I recognize my role of a mediator in this often clunky but crucial process.

    Edward Hopper once noted: “If I could say it in words, there would be no reason to paint”. Further elaborating on this idea based on my own experience, I acknowledge that as an artist I always lean towards the kind of subjects that couldn’t be conveyed in any other way, rather than through visual experience. That’s why it is often so difficult for visual artists to clearly articulate the intended meaning of their creative work. For the same reason, an equally challenging task is to choose an appropriate title that would set a framework for the viewer’s perception. “The Six Faces of Love”, however, follows a reverse approach, where the titles are determined at the outset of the project. In my mind, Éros, Philía, Agápe, Storgē, Pragma, and Philautia represent exactly the type of concepts that could hardly have any exhaustive verbal explanations, but instead, they have the potential to be successfully communicated through the artistic form. So, my goal is to reflect on each of these titles, their history and implications, in order to find their expression in six interconnected artworks.

    During my residency I intend to develop the designs for figure compositions and create six sculptures in clay. I will then make molds and cast them in resin applying different colors reflective of the emotional content of each work.

    While I do have a specific plan, the primary objective for the duration of my stay is to keep an open mind, avoid any preconceived notions and grasp the multitude of possibilities offered by the creative environment of the GlogauAIR and the city of Berlin. The position of a resident artist would give me a priceless opportunity to engage in numerous conversations with other participants, organizers and art enthusiasts, thus enriching my vision. I’m also inspired by the excellent idea of The Showcase outside the building where I would love to arrange a temporary installation associated with the main project. Such interaction with the wider public would surely give an additional impetus to my thought process.

    After all, the true significance of art lies in its ability to foster the free flow and exchange of ideas. And it is my biggest aspiration to be part of this vital process. For this reason, I would be most happy and grateful to join the community of GlogauAIR.

    Statement

    Heloisa Pomfret is inspired by the emotional brain. The physiology of the brain and the charting of mental states are used as inspiration and theoretical support to the imagery and constructs of her work.

    Pomfret’s creative processes involves first the translation of the idea of emotional impulses to measurable representation, and then the subsequent translation of this scientific representation back to formal and abstract imagery.

    The surfaces of her work are generated with a palimpsest process of erasure through scratches, where layers of paint are removed or erased, to expose the surface beneath.

    The processes of erasure through scratches and mending with stitches are fundamental to her art, as these serve as an analogy to the body and memory, where experiences occur and are transformed. The irregular shapes and stitches of the paintings help create works that join painting, drawing and sculpture.

    GlogauAIR Project

    I am an interdisciplinary visual artist exploring the emotional brain through abstract painting/drawing, collage and ceramics.

    The physiology of the brain and the charting of mental states are used as inspiration and theoretical support to the imagery and the constructs of my work.

    My creative processes involve first the translation from the idea of emotional impulses to scientific representation, and then the subsequent translation of this representation back to formal and abstract imagery. My interdisciplinary approach to art making includes using traditional and non-traditional materials.

    I would look forward to having the time and resources at GlogauAIR to research and create a new body of work.

    For my project at GlogauAIR, I will focus on an interdisciplinary installation work consisting of collages and drawings done in parallel to further integrate and inform my work. My plan will be to further explore how these materials work together.

    As part of this plan, I would also like to abstract iconographic scientific images and create narratives regarding scientific research and popular culture. These resulting images would support the development of a new body of work.
