Chema Alvargonzalez Chema Alvargonzalez (Jerez de la Frontera, 1960 - Berlin, 2009) founded GlogauAIR in 2006. After studying Fine Arts at Escola Massana (Barcelona), he continued his studies at the HdK (Berlin) under the direction of Rebecca Horn obtaining a Master of Fine Arts and Multimedia. From that point on he worked and lived between Barcelona and Berlin. Alvargonzalez experienced the Fall of the Berlin Wall in 1989 and the exciting period which followed. He became part of the Künstlerinitiative Tacheles where he introduced and welcomed incoming artists to Berlin and its new, flourishing art scene. His experiences over these years alongside his passion for collaboration and building artist networks led him to eventually found GlogauAIR. In 2006 Alvargonzalez starts the project of GlogauAIR in the same building that still hosts the residency today. GlogauAIR was created as a meeting point between artists from all disciplines where they could collaborate and expand their practice, explore and interact with the city of Berlin. Alvargonzalez is a representative of the generation of artists whose artistic work was highly influenced by globalisation and technology. As a consequence, Chema’s pieces, as well as GlogauAIR, were set as a breakthrough beyond geographical boundaries. After Alvargonzalez’s early death, his siblings Pablo and Columna took over Chema’s heritage, founding La Memoria Artistica Chema Alvargonzalez in order to preserve his artwork, also taking over the direction of GlogauAIR. Today GlogauAIR continues Chema’s mission to host and create with international artists from all disciplines.

GlogauAIR GlogauAIR is nowadays a non-profit art space and residency, located in a historic building in Kreuzberg. Founded in 2006 by the Spanish artist Chema Alvargonzalez, it is supported by the foundation La Memoria Artística Chema Alvargonzalez. The word GlogauAIR comes from the phonetic combination of GlogauerStrasse; the name of the street where it is located, and its purpose; an Artist in Residence program where artists can develop their own journey in the city of Berlin which is a pioneering metropolis for contemporary global culture. The Residency Program offers 13 studios to international artists from all artistic fields. During their stay they receive curatorial and technical support, as well as the possibility to take part in diverse activities such as workshops, exchanges and talks that aim to help them in their professional careers. Each artist develops an artistic work in one of the GlogauAIR studios in Berlin, which will then be showcased in our Open Studios event at the end of their stay. This past year GlogauAIR has faced many challenges, most of them originating from artists not being able to join the Residency due to COVID-19 pandemic. Far from allowing this to stop us, we have developed our On-line Residency Program which is now available for artists who cannot join us physically in Berlin. This program includes most elements of the On-site Residency Program, including our personal monitoring, activities and final Open Studios exhibition. GlogauAIR aims to continue the project originally created by Chema Alvargonzalez: an openness and receptivity to new ideas and the support of local and international contemporary art practices.

Open Studios Every three months, at the end of the Residency Program, GlogauAIR opens its door to the public hosting an Open Studios exhibition. On-site resident artists in Berlin transform their studios into an exhibition space and visitors are invited to approach the final pieces that the artists have been working on during their residency. In addition, the pieces from the On-line resident artists come together in the exhibition, displayed throughout different spots in the building. Furthermore, since establishing our on-line Residency Program, we also host a Virtual Open Studios which can be found on our website. These two complementary Open Studios allow our on-line and on-site artists to showcase their work together, and illustrate the results of their artistic dialogue from the term. Sharing the Open Studios event, the Project Space hosts an exhibition with an invited artist from Berlin - the Berlin Guest Resident- or in collaboration with Institutions -which can curate either a collective or an individual exhibition- or Curators, which add value to GlogauAIR’s project by providing artistic exchange and dialogue.

Resident Artists A bouquet of plastic flowers abandoned on the sidewalk, their bright colors and slightly asymmetrical shapes, factory’s imperfection, contrasting the grey of the city. They look out of place, and yet the image draws a spark of vibrancy on the monotoned asphalt. It’s intriguing. Just like the flower arrangement results out of a composition of assorted buds, a multifaceted group of people arises each term at GlogauAIR. GlogauAIR’s building could be perceived, at first, as a big, old, and bizarre entity in the middle of Kreuzberg’s neighbourhood. People frequently peek inside its gates in the hope of catching a glance of the artists living in the space. Neighbours know that every week a new installation will be set up on our showcase to satisfy their curiosity. At times, they even make it through the gate and stop to feel the spring breeze and contemplate the vegetation that grows uncontrollably in the garden. The attraction effect of GlogauAIR captures the attention of everyone who passes by, like that bouquet of plastic flowers abandoned on the sidewalk. Over the years, GlogauAIR has become an island surrounded by a green sea of plants in which everyone is welcome. It is in its own attitude that international artists, neighbours, art and culture professionals find themselves comfortable, accepted and cared for. To be integrated into a larger whole is a beautiful journey that requires mixing, sharing, working, eating, talking, creating and trusting. During the spring term of 2021, the GlogauAIR’s team had the pleasure to be part of a miscellaneous of processes, techniques, backgrounds, and cultural references. A variety of artists made it to Berlin from Denmark, Sweden, Canada, France, Spain, and Colombia, not forgetting the on-line artists from Poland, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar, who joined the space virtually.

Marie Flarup Kristensen and Matilde Søes Rasmussen, also known as Macho Bengal, through spontaneity and an improvised methodology have been exploring how a photographic collaboration between two artists might look like: they dressed up as each other, experimented with flowers and private parts, coloured windows and cried on demand. The paintings by Beatriz Lorenzo Iñigo have done an experimental journey getting out of the canvas and interacting with everyday elements: tea boxes, tickets of groceries, ripped posters… almost a diary of how the days go by living in Berlin. Helena Ospina Lizarralde explores time through a conceptual and also a cairological process. Ospina Lizarralde opens questions she, later on, shares with the audience about human existence and the relationship with nature. Observing the surroundings, Honey Forestier draws and paints the following characters, objects and symbols distributed by the canvas in an organized and un-linear way. The images that Forestier creates infuse oniric features with digital imagery and line work. Rawan Aseedan shares her encounter with body mediation, specifically the ‘Ruqyah Syar’iyyah’, an Islamic meditation. She transfers her personal experience into materials such as cement, fabric, and wood by the use of Arabic calligraphy, embroidery and organic materials. The interdisciplinary work by Huiquan Jiang mixes sound composition, installation, video and performance through slow rhythms and controlled movements. Her work investigates synesthesia, perception, and improvisation, in conjunction with natural scenes. Michalina W. Klasik has carried out an interdisciplinary process in the latest events regarding deforestation in Poland, her country of origin. During her on-line residency period, she continued her “Secret Activism” project by expanding her research on the topic and walking
around the forest. The result is a combination of images that reflect on the brutality of our current economical and ecological politics in the most subtle and poetic way. The duo formed by Elena Urucatu and Carlos Maté continued to develop their project “The Year Without a Summer” by researching, writing, walking, and imagining what the life and thoughts of a vampire living in Berlin of the XXI century would be like. This exercise helps them reflect on the impact the human species has on the Earth from an eco-catastrophe’s point of view. Through experimental photography and other interventions like embroidery, collages and scanning, Saida Alkhulaifi explores and experiments a way to create a timeless image inspired by object symbolism from art history, society norms and nature. The practice of Lisa Bell Weisdorf puts attention on issues of gender and beauty exposing how capitalism dispossesses, structures, and produces our experience as subjects. Paco Poyato has been capturing through his camera different neighbourhoods of the Berlin metropolis, looking for trails of the historical, ideological and geographical division of the city. His visual research gathers the two opposed poles of the cold war through architecture, urban distribution, social and economic position. Besides the work by our international resident artists, these past three months, GlogauAIR historical building has witnessed the blooming of our wonderful garden thanks to Maria Gamsjäger’s garden project, which will be developed throughout this entire year. This spring of 2021 has brought great things. We welcome and invite you to stop and smell the flowers on your way in!

Beatriz Lorenzo Iñigo I igo Spain www.beatrizlorenzo.net
Beatriz Lorenzo Iñigo is a visual artist based in Madrid. Her work focuses on the language of painting in which she uses a wide variety of techniques and materials. In 2012 she obtained a Master's degree in Digital Arts from the University Pompeu Fabra (Barcelona), and previously a bachelor's degree in both Fine Arts (2010) and Art History (2005). Her work process is based on intuition, conforming, analysis, and acknowledgment of sociological and emotional concepts. Her process starts with the observation of the world around her, then she memorizes situations and objects that catch her eye. Lastly, these elements are integrated into her paintings leaving a trace of the different processes a painting goes through, allowing different emotions to be distinguishable through the paint. The concept of identity has been a prominent topic in her latest works. In her compositions, the human figure frequently appears adorned with symbolic elements such as masks, representing the freedom of the individual against the dominant culture. During her residency at GlogauAIR Lorenzo Iñigo started focusing on the role that the environment plays in shaping our identities. She is currently working with everyday objects of the city of Berlin such as transport tickets, posters, and stickers which she collects from the street. The result is a series of paintings with an aesthetic that reflects the neighborhood of Kreuzberg. Wir sind hier (2021) Acrylic, oil, stickers and posters on paper 40x50 cm

Elena Urucatu & Carlos Maté Romania, Spain www.carlosmate.com
By using sculpture, performance, installation, and video, Elena Urucatu and Carlos Maté’s work talks about those who see no point in making art because they have lost all hope in humankind: The human being is a terrible species dragging the planet into extinction, but out of boredom they decide to celebrate a funeral for the world, their world as well. It’s within this gesture that they find the meaning of art they were no longer looking for. Theirs is the art of going towards nothingness. In their projects, the eco-catastrophe is always present as a starting point of the research process, the performative experiments, and the audiovisual installations. The approach always comes from a nodidactic, psychological and dark perspective: In the space of darkness, the produced artworks are a form of death, turning life into a fragment, a frozen ruin. The work presented at GlogauAIR showcases the investigation “The Year Without a Summer”, in which the gothic horror figure of the Vampire is recast as a multi-present shadow with infinite layers and surprising connections with our current ecological crisis. This work suggests a very simple idea: in a devastated world, only those capable of experiencing love for an animal, a plant, a book, a musical score, a vinyl record, or an artwork will be able to survive. However, in order to truly love, we must give up a large part of our humanity. We must stop being human.

Helena Ospina Lizarralde Colombia www.helenaospinalizarralde.com
Helena Ospina Lizarralde is a native-born Colombian artist currently living and working in Berlin. Ospina Lizarralde works across different media including ceramics, weaving, video, performance, and installation in order to explore the interrelationship between the natural world and human existence. Each one of her works departs from questions that arise from her interest in understanding her own being and our existence in this world. In her practice, she searches for answers while generating questions to create a space of reflection in which the spectators can delve into their own inquiries. Ospina Lizarralde’s work emerges from different practices she develops to understand her own existential questions, always standing in the intersection between art and philosophy. In her current ongoing research, she addresses the fundamental issue of time. Reflecting upon our relationship with it and how our existence is determined by its social understanding. Throughout her time at GlogauAIR, in her project When will the future arrive? She has experimented mainly with performance and sculpture trying to envision and experience time as a circle rather than a straight line: Time can be experienced as an infinite duration, meaning we are currently living in our own past, present and future. During her residency, she also started an interactive project. Through posters in public spaces, she asks people in the streets of Berlin a fundamental question in her artistic practice; Why are we here?

Honey Forestier France www.honeyforestier.com
Honey Forestier (b. 1992) is a French painter and illustrator from Paris. Forestier uses painting to appropriate situations and objects; creating a collection of fragments that connect with one another. Her background in Fashion Design is a reflection of her practice today, her fascination for the ordinary and her enthusiasm for line work. Her process of work starts with photographs from which she appropriates images of daily life and gives them the power to exist and grow as something else using acrylics and oil. An introspective work where depictions of both solitary figures and humorous hybrids coexist in a peculiar detached way, not knowing where the story is going. Some elements are only stylized representations of themselves, some are more direct and spirited. Each element is on its own, disconnected yet lines intertwine and can’t seem to function without the others. Subtlety placed in corners, just like apps and folders on our screens, every figure has a “clickable” quality that conveys a familiar feeling in today’s digital age. Her muted imagery can either create a sense of reassuring peacefulness or existential emptiness. Ultimately, the playful scenes and their mischievous characters can potentially sooth our daily anxiety and put things into perspective. An attempt to find some sort of serenity in chaos with clean edges, flat lines of paint and amusing characters as a lifeline.

Huiquan Jiang China www.huiquanjiang.com
Huiquan Jiang is She received an Design, Boston, Academy of Fine
a multidisciplinary artist based in Berlin and Boston. MFA in painting at Massachusetts College of Art and USA, and a BFA in traditional painting at Central Arts, Beijing, China.
Through video, live performance, and installation, Jiang’s work immerses viewers in an atmosphere both visceral and literal. Grounded in reverence for life and nature, her work investigates synesthesia, perception, and improvisation, in conjunction with natural scenes, set within the form of slow hyper-controlled movement and improvisational voice. To uncover the potentials of the body and connect deeper to the self, the recurring forms—poem, limbs, sound, syllables, and breath—are improvised in synergy rendered as a contemplative moving meditation. The state of mind is expressed by the integrated body in liminality. Inspired by her taichi practice, contemporary dance experience as well as a daily yoga meditation practice since the pandemic, Jiang brings up the relationship between body and mind. To control the breath simultaneously with body movement is an elementary step to evacuate the mind. “What is the sound of breathing”, unwittingly, the spectator is implied to take a breath in order to decipher. At that moment, the self is fully synchronized with its body for the senses are engaging— breathing, hearing, feeling, observing… which is a glimpse of synesthetic experience.

Lisa Bell Weisdorf Canada www.lisabellweisdorf.com
Lisa Bell Weisdorf is a multidisciplinary artist working in digital media, sculpture, and installation. Driven by a desire to both understand and shape her historical conditions, she deploys formal tactics of appropriation and détournement in order to tease out the repressed inconsistencies of representational systems, and interrogate the ways in which capitalism dispossesses, structures, and produces our experience as subjects. For her project at GlogauAIR, Lisa Bell Weisdorf turns her attention to issues of gender, beauty, and the disciplining of feminine excess to develop work based on a number of beauty implements currently available on Western markets. These commodities accept the premise of a patriarchal society in which female bodies and behaviors are expected to comport with male fantasy. They leech off of the anxieties surrounding ageing and the attendant decline in sociosexual desirability that arise for women within such a framework, and promise immunization against the effects of gravity. Visually cryptic when divorced from context, these devices disavow their participation in the project of alienating women from their own bodies either by cloaking themselves in discourses appropriated from Eastern spiritual traditions, or invoking markers of scientific authority. During her residency, Lisa Bell Weisdorf has been experimenting with the ways in which material transformation might lay bare their absurdities and ambivalences, and working to understand what their existence might tell us about contemporary paradigms of beauty and femininity.

Marie Flarup Kristensen & Matilde Søes Rasmussen aka Macho Bengal Denmark, Sweden www.marieflarupkristensen.com | www.matildesoes.com
All my life I have practiced crying on command. It was mostly when I sat on the toilet and could see myself in the zigzag Ikea mirror that hung on the toilet door. I need to be able to see myself to really get into the mood, to feel sorry for myself. Sorry for all the unfair things that have happened to me throughout life. Sometimes I wave my hands in front of my eyes to get an airflow directly onto the eyeball, it is not cheating, if that is what you are thinking! Then I record myself with my phone. Sometimes I hope there really is someone watching me through the screen. Someone who might discover me and my talent. Macho Bengal are Marie Flarup Kristensen and Matilde Søes Rasmussen. They work with photography, video, writing, installation, performance. Their work is the offspring of an artistic collaboration where care, trust, and an interest in mythic female existences are all elements. Macho Bengal explore questions concerning gaze: the relationship between a photographer and her model. The mythical muse. They question how a close photographic collaboration might look like, dressing up as each other, mimicking each other’s poses, remixing their facial features digitally. Macho Bengal like drama and to stick their high heels into the dark mud. A race of weaklings! They both hold a BFA in Fine Art Photography from HDK-Valand Academy in Gothenburg, Sweden.

Michalina W. Klasik Poland www.michalinawklasik.com
Michalina W. Klasik is a visual artist and “secret activist”, working with various mediums such as photography, drawing, and installation. Her artistic practice is guided by the idea of decolonizing nature. The term “tree-hugger” means “nature defender”. It is said that “the first tree-huggers were 294 men and 69 women belonging to the Bishnois branch of Hinduism, who, in 1730, died while trying to protect the trees in their village (...). They literally clung to the trees, while being slaughtered by the foresters.” A few years ago, activists chained themselves to trees in defense of Bialowieza Forest, the oldest forest in Europe. In recent weeks, a group of people has been trying to stop logging in the Carpathian Primeval Forest. With this in mind, for her online residency project, she has created a series of works on deforestation in Poland. She spent time in the forest - wandering\ photographing\ protesting - and used the collected materials to create objects and images. At the same time, she has gathered a large collection of photographs – portraits of people from all over the world – photographed while hugging trees. She unified these images so they start to resemble the representation of some mysterious tribe – a great, kind, global group. Michalina W. Klasik believes in the power of cooperation and civil disobedience. Her project aims to show that the struggle of treehuggers continues, and there is still much to save… Tree-huggers (2021) Mixed media

Paco Poyato Spain www.pacopoyato.com
Paco Poyato is a Spain based visual artist working in photography. The themes of his works share an interest in issues related to the current consumer society and globalization. His aim being reflecting how these two concepts alter his closest reality, understanding globalization as the loss of the individual’s identity, in favor of a model that responds to criteria closely linked to the control of power and banality. To date, his work specializes in delving into the reality of different human groups that are created around a common cause that identifies them as such. A vision characterized by photographing human collectives that have shared common experiences that, in some way, serve to build, mark, and also define the individual identity of its members. The idea behind his work during the residency program at GlogauAIR, is to attest to the hidden wall that continues to divide Germany. This invisible wall can be measured in wages, infrastructure, education, unemployment, political and economic differences that tip the balance in favor of the West. Taking the German capital as an example of what is happening in the country, Poyato shows the still latent division between the Western and Eastern parts of Berlin, through the study of landscape, both urban and human, as well as collecting street found objects that testify to that still latent difference.

Saida Alkhulaifi Qatar www.saidaalkhulaifi.com
Saida Alkhulaifi is a visual artist and curator. She obtained her MA degree in Museums and Gallery Practice from the University College of London and is currently working in the contemporary arts field in Qatar. She is interested in understanding the world around her through looking into themes of time, society norms, and nature. Her artistic approach is a mix of analogue photography, experimental developing and printing, illustration, text, and embroidery. The wait for a romanticized future where dreams and hopes come true is an expectation that overwhelms the present. But also, what is considered present today, tomorrow becomes a memory. Alkhulaifi’s current body of work explores the theme of time within the context of recent memory, emotions, human behavior, and object symbolism. The starting point to any visual narrative is always a photograph in an attempt to grasp fleeting memories. Alkhulaifi focuses on observing her thoughts in the moment alongside her surroundings, and later on, she translates those observations into visuals and words. The notion of time is explored through layering and added text, investigating different surfaces and mediums, experimental photography, and where all of these exist in time and space. Inspired by alternative photography methods, her GlogauAir’s project includes landscape, still-life photography, and camera-less techniques infused with journal thoughts and classic Arabic poetry questioning and interpreting time.

Maria Gamsjäger Austria www.maria-gamsjaeger.com
Maria Gamsjäger is an Austrian artist based in Berlin. On the basis of her work as a stage designer, she develops free projects that deal with site-specific themes. Silent stories are captured through mostly analogue art techniques. herb garden The project "herb garden" is a research of memory and lost knowledge with the body and the senses. A search for the skills that were not passed on. A wild herb garden is taking shape on the garden grounds of GlogauAir. The healing effects of the plants are the main focus. Over the course of the year, processing methods are tested to preserve the herbs in the form of tea blends and tinctures. The gardening process is accompanied by a multi-layered archive - a collection of ideas, objects, conversations and questions. The archive will be on display at the Open Studios. The "herb garden" project will also be present in digital form on the homepage. Four seasons to go full circle. Chapter 1 - SOIL This is an undisturbed space. Maple seedlings are sprouting everywhere. They are fighting their way into the ground and up towards the sky.

Catalogue's Cover Every three months GlogauAIR releases a new catalogue collecting the work and projects by the artists in residence. The catalogue in your hands not only showcases this term’s projects but becomes an archive of the collaborations and experiences of welcoming artists from around the world to connect and experiment. Our first catalogue edition was released in 2006, and we have made a lot of changes since then. Starting this year 2021 we are giving our resident artists the opportunity to design the cover of the catalogue. Making this publication a canvas in which our artists in residence can intervene results in a more personal object to each residency term. Participating in the cover of the catalogue also allows the artists to create out of their comfort zone, translating their work into a different medium and collaborating with graphic disciplines. Once again, the GlogauAIR team could not be prouder of the result. After receiving various proposals from the artists in residency, a jury formed by every team member at GlogauAIR selected this picture by Paco Poyato, part of his series “Make Heavy Metal Great Again”. Poyato’s work reflects on the current consumer society and how it affects and transforms our closest reality. Particularly, Poyato is interested in the term “globalization” understood as the loss of the individual’s identity. The artist’s images seek the elements that serve to build, mark and define the identity of human groups. For fifteen years GlogauAIR has welcomed artists from an international and multidisciplinary artistic background to the city of Berlin. All of our artists have been different, and they all brought something unique and wonderful to the identity of our residency. Poyato’s image, a collection of flowers, all of them mismatched but somehow united, makes us think about all the individuals that over the years have shared this experience with us, resulting in something beautiful and collective.
