Information about my residency at the Frans Masereel Centrum, Belgium (spring 2017)
Last spring I had the honor to work in Frans Masereel Centrum (Kasterlee, Belgium). I was doing some experiments with photopolymer, a technique I had last used when I was an art student. As a result, I created a small series of photopolymer prints of a lens-based performances I did during my stay in Kasterlee. The final form of the project is still open, and the work is in process. The outcome might be something combining text with the prints, and/or juxtaposing black and white polymer prints with color photography… In a link below, you’ll find an example of one of the photopolymers.
“Frans Masereel Centre is a place where national and international artists, researchers and graphic designers reside, meet and experiment. Frans Masereel Centre (1972) offers residencies and a working space to graphic designers, artists and critics who want to work with intaglio, relief printing, screen print or lithography, or who want to investigate the relationship of graphics with other visual arts. The focus is on creation and experimentation in the workshop.”

A Cooking Pot in Meetings Video-og performancefestival
A Cooking Pot will be shown as a part of MEETINGS Video and Performance Festival in Vemb, Denmark during the first weekend of September 2017. The screening is curated and presented by Leena Kela.
“How do we influence the things (objects, beings and entities) in our surrounding and how do they influence us? The more we see the things in our everyday life, the more we become blind to them. This video screening focuses on taking a closer look at our surrounding, seeing how the things interact with us, each other and the space around them. The screening is dedicated to meeting with the things around us.”

Aikaa tukahduttamassa. Esitysarvio Liikekieli.comissa 16.3.2017
Kirjoitin Liikekieli.comiin muistista, ajasta ja kirjoittamisesta nähtyäni Boris Charmatzin ja Emmanuelle Huynh’n Kaai-teatterissa Brysselissä. Esityksen ja yllä olevan tekstin kirjoittamisen välillä oli kulunut reilut pari viikkoa. Yleensä arviot tulee kirjoitettua lähes heti esityksen tai näyttelyn näkemisen jälkeen, mutta tähän aiheeseen tauko sopi sisällöllisestikin.
