Documentation

The first three editions of the residency program generated picture, video documentation and some archival leftovers. A selection of these are accessible here, giving an overview of what has been produced with the invited art practitioners since 2020. Each edition was a different format in terms of space, duration and restitution.

EDITION I

Archival leftovers

by

Asís Ybarra, Laure Catugier, Alan Affichard and Aiko Shimotsuma

June 2020

Ybarra collected fragments of talks between the co-founders and himself. While the document has a formal aesthetic, the elements are avoid of hierarchy, and show how artistic processes may also be penetrated by the informal, without excluding a seductive interpretation of the quotidian.

Affichard recorded sound pieces in the nearby environment of the residency and composed them in the site-specific performance Elpmas Series #2. Affichard left the preparatory scores to the residency. Lines, dots, arrows and words float, like musical notes, on a torn page.

July 2020

Catugier made a significant survey of the historical event called “Dächerkrieg” (1928). A collision of opposing architectural visions in Berlin-Zehlendorf. She depicted on a cut out paper two extremely expressive lines that illustrate the aesthetic division represented by the avant-garde and the traditionalists of the Stuttgart School, major architectural movements of the Weimar Republic.

October 2020

Shimotsuma’s works trigger tangible and intangible phenomena, in which the viewer plays a central role as an active observer and interpreter. Material research carried out during her time at an· other here led to two site-specific installations. She left two related mementos: an encapsulated scented essence and a delicate photo-etching depicting the Schlachtensee lake.

EDITION II

Archival leftovers

by

Dounia Chemsseddoha and Lisa Hoffmann

September 2022

Corolle by Dounia Chemsseddoha

In the course of her creative residency, Dounia Chemsseddoha produced a series of ceramics featuring intricate pedestals and corollas. Each piece has been shaped and glazed by the artist. The corollas become active through a performative gesture when healing waters are poured into their hollows.
An activation was captured during “Kernophoria” in Montbrun-les-Bains (video below)

11.22//anotherhere by Lisa Hoffmann

During her research residency, Lisa Hoffmann explored through strollology (the science of wandering) the outcrops in the surrounding area. In a furtive gesture, she gleaned natural elements taken from the immediate landscape that she assembled in a medal-like composition. How this amalgam will change with the years to come, how it will become part of the place, and how will it be populated – by lichen, moss, insects…?
