Spring 2018 Newsletter

Lately I’m totally confused about what I should wear and how many activities I can pack into a day – that must mean spring is here! (or almost!!) Can’t wait to get my hands into the dirt and soak up some B.C. sunshine. I’ll keep this short. With all the possibility in the air I know how precious your time and focus is so please feel free to remove yourself from this list – but if I’ve inspired you in the least, please share! Trying to grow my audience these days 🙂

Hallowed Winds is opening this week in Kamloops, B.C. at Arnica Artist-Run Centre.

I’m really pumped to bring Hallowed Winds to a new community. I built this interactive sound installation while in residence at Quest University Canada with funding from the Canada Council for the Arts and the Squamish Arts Council.Hallowed Winds (2015) examines how our physical body holds a memory. To touch and be touched momentarily ruptures the boundary between our internal and external sense of space. Participants engaging with the installation will hear multiple stories about the memory of touch that ride on breath and wind, evoking the deeply felt nature of relationships.Here’s a short video preview of the installation: https://vimeo.com/127318372#at=3

In Berlin, “An Encyclopedia of Tenderness // Eine Enzyklopädie des Zarten” curated by Anne Brannys at  Galerie im Körnerpark continues until April 18, 2018.The exhibition project “An Encyclopedia of Tenderness” is based on the dissertation of the same name by Anne Brannys. In it, the artist illuminates the central concept of the delicate from different perspectives and interlinks human and scientific as well as artistic questions. In eight focal points, the exhibition unfolds the theme as a walk-in encyclopaedia in a spatial structure specially developed for the presentation. This spatially rhythmic order of knowledge is at the same time permeable and allows cross-connections between the exhibits through a sensory guidance system. The artistic works – a selection from an extensive archive of positions, submitted on a call for tender – illustrate a diverse range of approaches to the subject and explore the complexity of the term in a sensory perceptible way. Thus, the physically experienceable experience of an exhibition becomes a logical extension of the collection of knowledge available in book form.Featured in this exhibition is a selection from my vulnerable language drawing series.
