Marijo Ribas, Bricks and cucumbers; Lichtenberg Studios exchange 2024

The second part of the exchange with the Lichtenberg Studios, was Marijo Ribas residence in Berlin. This residency has implemented a residency program that relates art to the reality of that neighborhood.

"I am interested in the spaces and how they carry ideology and symbolism. Memorials, public architecture and rural areas are linked to production and migration situations. My research in Lichtenberg began with the sculpture designed by Mies Van der Rohe, built in 1926 and demolished in 1935 by the Nazis.  I was interested in the idea of how a memorial that no longer existed, still has a place in the memory. And since that I thought about the function of a memorial, does a memorial repair any damage?

Lichtenbeg has a rural and proletarian past, the most important migrant population during the 60-70, the “gastarbeiters” came from Vietnam. After the fall of the Berlin Wall there was no plan for many of the Vietnamese population living in Lichtenberg, who worked in semi-slavery conditions, subject to time, cohabitation and birth control. With the change in the economic model and the closure of many factories, some Vietnamese returned to their homeland and some decided to stay in Berlin, there is still a significant community, some important meeting points are the Pagoda temple and the Dong Xuan Center.

Food culture is also an identitarian subject, the ritual of harvest, share, sell and eat together. It is not a memorial, it’s ephemeral, but can be toxic or memorable. I used a vegetable, a cucumber, to construct my personal narrative around significant ideas, facts and spaces I found during my residency in Lichtenberg. The result of the research is linked to a series of studio and street photography crossing that ideas."

La segona part de l'intercanvi amb Lichtenberg Studios, va ser la residència que va realitzar l'artista visual Marijo Ribas a Berlín. Aquesta residència implementa un programa de residències que posa en relació l'art amb la realitat d'aquesta barriada, oferint allotjament i mitjans per a explorar la zona.

"M'interessen els espais i com porten ideologia i simbolisme. Els monuments, l'arquitectura pública i les zones rurals que estan vinculades a situacions de producció i migració. La meva recerca a Lichtenberg va començar amb l'escultura dissenyada per Mies Van der Rohe, construïda el 1926 i enderrocada el 1935 pels nazis. Em va interessar la idea de com un memorial que ja no existia, encara té un lloc en la memòria. I ja que vaig pensar en la funció d'un memorial, reparava algun dany?

Lichtenbeg té un passat rural i proletari, la població migratòria més important durant els anys 60-70, els "gastarbeiters" provenien del Vietnam. Després de la caiguda del Mur de Berlín no hi havia cap pla per a molts vietnamites que vivien a Lichtenberg, que treballaven en condicions semiesclavistes, subjectes al temps, la convivència i el control de la natalitat. Amb el canvi en el model econòmic i el tancament de moltes fàbriques, alguns vietnamites van tornar a la seva pàtria i alguns van decidir quedar-se a Berlín, encara hi ha una comunitat significativa, alguns punts de trobada importants són el temple de Pagoda i el centre Dong Xuan.

La cultura alimentària és també un tema identitari, el ritual de la collita, compartir, vendre i menjar junts. No és un memorial, és efímer, però pot ser tòxic o memorable. Vaig utilitzar una verdura, un cogombre, per construir la meva narrativa personal al voltant d'idees, fets i espais significatius que vaig trobar durant la meva residència a Lichtenberg. El resultat de la recerca està vinculat a unes sèries d'estudi i fotografia de carrer, encreuament d'aquestes idees."

Ralph Lauren's "Artist in Residence" program continues with the second drop of Naiomi Glasses spring collection. "This collection celebrates the sportiness we all have in ourselves. I want this collection to inspire you to get out there and feel like you can do anything. I want people to look at this as a chance to see color and not run away from it, rather to embrace it wholeheartedly."

Laurie Anderson will present a four-episode BBC Radio 6 Music Artist in Residence series December 16–19, 11pm–12am GMT. The themes of her four playlists: the real world; love and energy; loneliness and change; and the dream world. “It’s been a blast being your DJ and I hope you like the things I put together for 6 Music," she says. "I always wanted to have a late night radio show for people who are somewhere between awake and asleep. But even if you’re out and about—I hope you have a good time listening to some of my favorite music."

Henry VIII

One of the AIR badge challenges for the Artist in Residence challenge for this month is to draw one of wives of Henry VIII but I was desperate to draw the king himself. I drew this with Copic markers and coloured pencils.

“小高”

プロジェクションマッピングアニメーション2023/10/14

福島県南相馬市のアーティスト・イン・レジデンス「群青小高」に参加しました👏小高には2週間ほど滞在し、小高で見聞きした自然をアニメーションにしました。

小高には鳥、馬、蝶、植物、海などたくさんの生き物がいることに気づきました🐴🦋🪴それは私の故郷である福島県を思い出し、子供の頃を思い出しました。生活をするためには都会で暮らすのが便利ですが、自然とともに暮らすことも必要だと感じています。だから、小高では自然を重視するようになりました。

また、地元の人たち��多くは和室に住んでいます。多くの襖には自然をモチーフにした絵が描かれアニメーションを投影することを思いつきました❣️

小高では、数年前に避難が解除された後、人口がまだ少ないため、地域の人たちがイベントや交流場所を設けてコミュニケーションを取ろうとしているように見えました。いろいろな人に会いましたが、中には他県から来た人も多くいます。これからの大高町の発展が楽しみに思いながら、このアニメーションを制作しました。特に子供に喜んでもらえたのが嬉しかったです🧒

今回の制作で、支援と協力してくれた皆さん本当にありがとうございました✨

“Odaka”

projection mapping animation

2023/10/14

I joined “Gunjo Odaka” which is the artist in residency in Minamisoma, Fukushima👏 I stayed in Odaka for about 2 weeks.

I made an animation about nature which I saw and listened in Odaka.

I realised many living things such as birds, horse, butterflies, plants, and sea in Odaka🐴🦋🪴 It reminds me of my hometown in Fukushima prefecture, and made me feel my childhoods. I’ve recently become aware of the importance of striking the balance between development of the city and nature. For making a living, I feel I need to live in the city because of conveniences, but also to live with nature. So I became to focus on nature in Odaka.

In addition, local people usually live in Japanese style rooms.

I came up with projecting my animation to the Japanese sliding door which is called “Fusuma” in a room because the sliding doors are often painted with nature motifs❣️

In Odaka, it seems people try to communicate with others because the population is still small since the evacuation was lifted several years ago. I met many people and some of them are from other prefectures. I look forward to the future development of Odaka.

Thank you so much to everyone who supported and helped with this project✨

June Log

Starting this month on June 1st, with the help of @indecisartistrun, and @mimiciora we did a collaborative colouring book with he children from their community. Everyone filled the page with what they would take with them when they inevitably have to move to space. The book is in the shape of a rocket to help them in thgeur space explorations 🚀

The editorial illustration I made for a rather heartbreaking text written by Alexandra Voivozeanu for AnthroArt. You can read it in full here. I also recommend browsing their articles for more insightful texts and drawings into different social and environmental anthropological issues.

Had to get back to Cluj-Napoca, where I prepared a little book with sketches, ideas and in-process projects for ArtiViStory's exhibition: UNBOXED STORIES - Urban comics with ArtiViStory Collective. The little blue zine takes the shape of a silkworm and is titled: The last sleep in my silk cocoon.

Getting back to Cluj meant that I could finally pick up the drawings I made in collaboration with Anca, that she gracefully left at our old apartment when she passed by. The drawings are an ongoing collaborative project, started by Ana Kun and Covrig (Anca Dima), called Half&Half. Each artist that takes part in it has to make two half-drawings that will be finished by another artist of their choice, both getting to keep one of them at the end.

Got back to Timișoara and drew this along with Ana, as preparation for a bigger project that will have us draw together on a huge piece of paper.

The Balamuc residency got us all together again for a Weidly-shaped-Zine workshop I conducted as part of the 9 public events of the program. Thanks to everyone who attended for your openness ad creativity :o)

Happened to find myself in Bucharest at the end of June, so I had to visit Covrig at her studio, which was the main place in which I hanged out while Gavril was putting up his stunning duo show with Giulia Crețulescu at Ivan Gallery. She was kind enough to let me use her aerograph, here are some drawings I made. While there, Alin from BooksForFriends brought me the riso posters we collaborated on. The prints are made after a digital drawing I made around Easter, printed in three colours on 42x30cm paper. They can still be bought from either me or from BFF's page.

While on a mini Bucharest vacation, I found some time to inaugurate the big, scary A4 sketchbook I've been carrying around for a few months.

Had to rush back to Timișoara to organise my last solo workshop within the Balamuc Make a Wish Residency. Based on a huge map I drew as a kid of places where I'd like to escape to, I created a workshop in which we all work on a collaborative map of recurrent dream locations. Similar to the places that I'd draw on the map when I was 9, this map also includes fantastical places that serve as an escape to the adult world, in our dreams. I posted my contributions.

Thanks to Flo from The Secret Garden, I received the first prints of my speculative gouache book, Who is Adriana?. I made this book during my Erasmus scholarship at Academia de Belle Arti in Bari, trying to explore what could be the identity of Adriana, the name that my neighbour screamed for every night. I never expected this project to gain as much popularity as it got, but the pleasantly good reception gave me the right kind of push to print it in order for people to have their own copy as well.

sTo Len, whose fascination with waste removal started when he was a child, is the New York Department of Sanitation’s current artist in residence.

His interdisciplinary art project “Office of Invisibility” aims to spark curiosity from the public about sanitation practices and to re-contextualize the DSNY as diligently working toward a healthier and more sustainable city.

Len has been digitizing the footage to contribute to the DSNY media archive as well, claiming that he’s gotten through around half of the records so far. These documents of now-defunct incinerators, residential trash collection procedures, and operations across the city’s inactive landfills, he says, are a missing piece of New York City’s history.

Reporter Rhea Nayyar speaks with the artist in her latest article.

Stop by the Bowness Community Association (BCA) and check out their plant library! As part of my project with the BCA ARTS Program, I have placed some small sculptures made from polymer clay in the plant library which are free for anyone to take. Maybe they can live in your plant pot!

A little Okinawa trip for my birthday!

We stayed at the Intercontinental Hotel in Manza on Naha. It was really gorgeous 😍

We completed a fun stamp rally in and around the hotel, and we received some fun gifts for our efforts.

By funny coincidence, there was an artist in residence at the hotel who came from Kobe! I talked with Soar some, and bought a few postcards. I especially enjoyed her surfing bears!
