Crossing Cape Town takes place in different ways:With my wax-skins, my interviews andin collaboration with Karem Ibrahim in a special political and performative way.
Showing four skins and a video installation at the "Something Else - Off Biennale Cairo" was a wonderful experience. I am especially grateful for the wonderful cooperation with the young artist Sophia Lökenhoff, my daughter.
With the session "Future enabling methods in times of Digital Reality" I presented my artistic research-project CROSSING at The 8th International Conference on Sustainability & Responsibility, 16th of November 2018 in Cologne, Germany. Here is the resume.
I have appreciated the interview with this wonderful artist: Based in Berlin, investigating the social role of the artist through embedded drawing practice in public spaces.
"I’ve also been thinking a lot about a line from Rousseau where he says that if you want to be useful, it is essential to be read in the provinces. I wonder what would happen to my work if I took this seriously." C. T.
“She explore how to transmit in images the times of nature. Time of landscape, time of rock, time of dreams, our time. The time of life, life as a sum of existences that flows and materializes in different times.”I am grateful for meeting this strong woman!
Intense working period in Finland: It is not about producing new art works… its is always about attitude….to avoid inner violence and struggling against yourself, to overcome ambition and competition, to open to trust and to the power of colour, form, material, yourself.
I am grateful for the possibility to stay in this amazing place. What a studio! what awonderful nature! Focussing on the Crossing-Interviews and my own artistic practice I will be without internet for a while. Results from Island and Finland will be prepared.
I made this installation out of respect and in memory of a wise woman, who knows equally the brutality and beauty of life. Sunday 26.August 2018, 16.00 -18.00 h, NES Artist Residency Skagaströnd
