Artist in Residency:
Neige Sanchez

 

 

Residency Sep– Feb 2023

Coming from the practice of photography, with an apprenticeship in silver print and a diploma at the School of Photography in Vevey (CH), Neige Sanchez (1992*, French-Swiss) has then developed their work through performance, video, installation, text, edition and curation. They·she recently obtained a Master’s degree in Visual Arts at HEAD – Genève (CH), with an exchange semester at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna (AT). Today, their practice is transdisciplinary and research-based oriented with a theoretical and poetic component.
Their research mainly explores critical theories about the structural violence inherent in the history of the medium of photography, more specifically the history of representations of so-called « minorities » with a focus on queer communities, questioning whether image production can be an emancipatory tool. In parallel, with the uprising of interest in queer issues by cultural institutions, they·she investigates ways in which artists attempt to challenge the recuperation and instrumentalisation of their practices through refusal, abstraction, diversion, joy, collectivity and collaboration.

Artist in Residency:
Matheline Marmy

 

 

Residency Sep– Feb 2023
 

 

 

Matheline Marmy’s practice is experimental and material-based, taking the form of a speculative investigation into environmental forms and processes. She’s interested in phenomena such as invasion, growth, accumulation of matter. Her works are the empirical results of this method. They are assembled and grown out of reactive and trace-bearing materials such as metals, water, salts, acids, textiles and bacteria, coupled with less-penetrable components that retain and contain, like glass and plastic.

Matheline Marmy (*1993), born in Geneva, studied Photography and Fine Arts at ECAL (Lausanne) and HFBK (Hamburg). She received her BA from ECAL (2016) and MFA from the Piet Zwart Institute in Rotterdam (2019). She works with sculpture and installation, using manipulable and reactive materials such as metals, water, salts, acids, textiles, bacteria- coupled with less-penetrable components that retain and contain.

Artist in Residency:
Machiel van Stokkum

Residency Sep–Dec 2022

 

The concept of ‘place’ always plays a central role in the work of Machiel van Stokkum (1991). He has a special interest in places that are somewhat generic, don’t seem to belong to a certain geographical location but can be found the world over, such as modernist housing schemes, industrial zones, sea harbours, construction sites and the likes.
He visits these places time and again, in different cities, countries and continents, moving through them while capturing them in photographs, video and by gathering physical materials on said sites. This ever expanding collection of images and materials, that all seem to resemble one another in certain ways, forms the base material that van Stokkum works [removed] often find their final form in installations that seem to balance somewhere between construction and deconstruction, becoming and disappearing. Forming new places by connecting already existing ones. He is currently based between places.

Approaching Immeasurability

Place: ManuFACTORY, Lüderitzstraße 13, 13351 Berlin.
Date: 31st of May,5 pm

During his residency period at ABA, Phelim researched the continuously changing relationship he has with his body after he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis. What happens when the body doesn’t carry out certain actions anymore and how do these alienating experiences influence identity and the self? At the Salon Phelim will present his research and we’ll have the opportunity to discuss and philosophize about identity, loss and daily measurability.

#62 Salon Sally Schonfeldt

past

 

date: [removed]
Am Treptower Park, Berlin, Germany

The first part of the Salon Colonial Fantasies consists of a site visit to the Karpfenteich in Berlin’s Treptower Park, where the first German Colonial Exhibition was held in 1896. Throughout this exhibition so-called ethnographic performances or Völkerschauen were on display, in which over a hundred people from Germany’s colonies in Africa and Oceania had been brought to Berlin and made to “perform” before multitudes of visitors, often under considerable duress. At the Karpfenteich today no traces of this harrowing colonial history are visible, there is no memorial of what people were unjustly made to endure here. By bearing witness to this site together, uncovering the layers of history held here and critically reflecting on them a process to open up a postcolonial culture of remembrance is envisioned.

The second part of the Salon Decolonial Mnemonics will be held at the Museum Treptow to deepen the contemporary reflection on the ongoing effects of Germany’s colonial legacy.
