its time. Absolutely.  Its time for an update

* So I have been working in my studio space in Vienna a lot the past months. I finished a sculpture-project called “LAYERS: I” (at least the first 8 sculptures are finished and ready to be shown/exhibited/sold) and am already organizing for “LAYERS: II” – buying materials and sketching.
The project was started in early December last year, the first object was finished shortly before christmas. I will post some process and final pictures of them soon.

* Also I have started to organize all my works from the earliest point of my career 5 years ago until now – sorting all of them digitally into folders, labeling them, assigning them to categories and writing down all the informations to each project – the result is that one is totally surprised by the amount of work one already has produced, it is really nice to see how far one has come and to understand the own working pattern and the direction one is going. It helps to plan ahead as well and to get a broader understanding of the recurring themes and subjects one analyses and deals with.

* I started and continued working on 4 video projects, some of them actually dating back some time ago (2007…) . One has the working titles “The Mountain Emerges” and “The Mountain Hides” dealing with Asian aesthetics and “Entschleunigung” (a German term describing the counter-part of speed, meaning that it slows down, takes speed. It is also used especially in a social context, like in the context of stimulus satiation, fastness of daily routine, stress etc.) .

* The second one has no graspable title yet, so far I referr to it only as “Selbst-Freie Bewegung” (a non existant word-composite in German, meaning something like “Self-Free Motion”) in which the video camera observes “free” motions that “happen” in nature and city life, seemingly on their own and certainly without “purpose”.

* The third video work is rather old and ongoing, still in the phase of being collected and is basically a collection of textiles in a living space context but visible to the public – they are portrayed like they have a life of their own. So far it is referred to as “The Curtain series“.

* A more abstract video project goes by “Openings” and deals with light on hard opaque impenetrable surfaces and how shadows and/or light beams “open” them up.

* I also kind of finished a photo manipulation series called “Closed House” that I might show online soon.

Within the next months there will be a group exhibition in Nice/FR about Polaroids ( a traveling exhibition, going also to Italy) where 2 Polaroids and also a super 8 film about The Impossible Project Factory will be shown. You can see them here: Super 8 Movies.

Also I will probably have an email-correspondence/Interview about my work and my thesis/dissertation on Polaroid in an Austrian online publication called MedienImpulse widely spread

and read by the media studies intellectuals here. This is not settled yet though, its in the process…we will see.

If you have questions about my work, would like to work with me, are interested in purchasing art works etc., please feel free to leave a comment or contact me via my email address at any time.

So far so good. I hope everyone is well and happy – thanks for your interest in my work over the years and thanks for coming back.

All the best,

some updates on the Iceland Art Project that I am planning. It is part of the IN BETWEEN Polaroid & Super 8 Film Series, started in 2008.

This year my agent and I are thrwoing our attention to the nordic island Iceland.

Two models were found and join us on a 7 day trip (all in all its 2 weeks, with pre-work etc.)

If you live in Iceland or have friends in Iceland, we are still looking for someone to:

* assist us on the set (between 2-6 days)
* document the project by photographing &/or filming a few hrs a couple of times.

If this sounds interesting to you, please contact the agent at:
marlene@scattered-sea.com

Cheers everyone!
