Here are some words from the artists about their work that will be shown

hanna goldstein
In goldstein’s project archiving what was missing the artist set out to find a missing exhibition of her dead father. The project has taken her to many different places and interesting meetings. During the last 3 months she has in various mediums documented this process. While searching for 17 massive stones and 12 large images, which is what the exhibition consists of, goldstein has continuously been questioning the role of authorship and the meaning of working with an archive. On April 20th she will present the first stage of the project.

Laurianne Bixhain
My work consists of appropriating common gestures and popular practices and transforming contemporary art exhibition methods and transplanting them into a “living” space. The action of appropriation results in collecting, assembling and reinterpreting by means of photography, bookmaking, installation and curatorship. In inviting people to contribute to my work is a way of enabling the artwork to exist in different networks. The book, which is a recurring form in my work, embodies the idea that an artwork has a social life.

Ruth Le Gear
My work is involved with the nature of trans-disciplinary practice based research. I am interested in the concept of subtle energies and the hidden aspect of substances.
I have been collecting experience; collecting peoples tears over the past months, trying to make the intangible tangible.

Jacob Brooks
Jacob Brooks is a multimedia photographer from the United States. His new project, ‘secret shrine’ is an exploration of the fences of berlin, the fields they enclose, and the objects inside.

Exhibition is open for visitors through

Collection

non material collection

Letting for museums, collectors and other agents the safeguarding of the physical object or artefact, culturia considers that a perfect accomplishment of the proposal would be the “record” of the material that usually does not fit in the object.

Considering the content of the work as something essential that too many times remains obscure or hid from the majority of the public and is lost in time with the death of the artist.

Trying to Safeguard part of the content that does not fit in the material mediation and that gives us the unique opportunity to establish an important document able to clarify the relation of the artist with his/her task.

Is also clear for the residency that the medium or domain of action is not important. Joseph Beuys argued that every man would be an artist if we consider the conjugation of creativity, responsibility and love for the task.

Extending here the definition of art in the same way as Beuys into the intense relation between the subject and his work, culturia invites all of the residents and external applicants to collaborate with their plurality and heterogeneous points of view.

The proposal does not have a format and is a friendly contribution asked to the residents and artists engaged in the understanding of art, work processes and its values.

The non-material collection is open to documents using other forms of expression, especially for those artists and researchers that prefer to express themselves through writing, audio, video, data, interview, etc. (However following the natural need of a self-compromise to make it “visible” to others).
