ProjekTraumFN is pleased to present Brian Cirmo All the Feels paintings and drawings July 5 & 6 from 12 – 7pm.
Brian Cirmo has spent the past two decades traveling throughout the country visiting museums, large cities, small towns, national parks, Civil War battlefields, assassination sites, graveyards, and national monuments. He is a lifelong student of the vast profundity of American music and a glutton for history, literature, western painting, film, comic strips, and cartoons; all of which have consumed his nights and days. These interests and practices are harvested and used within his process to create intertextuality in the paintings. Using Western painting, literature, popular culture, personal memories, history and travel as sources, He has focused on building paintings that encapsulate characteristics of the human condition.
Brian Cirmo is an internationally exhibiting artist and a 2023 recipient of the Lillian Orlowsky and William Freed Foundation Grant for American painters from the Provincetown Art Association and Museum.
Solo exhibitions include Where Teardrops Fall, 532 Gallery Thomas Jaeckel, New York, NY; Paintings, Lake George Arts Project, Lake George, NY; Doldrums, the Burrell Roberts Triangle Gallery, Sinclair College in Dayton, OH; Black, the Rice Gallery, McDaniel College, Westminster, MD, and Patterns, Cycles, and Change, Wilson Gallery, Le Moyne College, Syracuse, NY.

Microscopic organisms have existed on earth for thousands and millions of years. They are the first life on this planet. Maybe they will be the last? They are invisible and may not, therefore, seem of importance but they are essential for human life to exist. We depend on them. We need to be aware of their importance and perhaps make them as visible as do these works.

Baker pays homage to the spirit of innovation that defined Friedrichshafen’s industrial past with delicate steel forms, and fabric with patterns generated by AI. Simultaneously, she prompts contemplation on the implications of emerging technologies, such as self-driving cars and AI, urging viewers to reflect on the delicate balance between progress and caution. Open by appointment through May 25th, 2024
Emily Baker (b.1989) is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Atlanta, Georgia. She was born in Grass Valley, California and received her BFA in Interior Design from California State University, Chico. She received her MFA from the University of California, Santa Barbara in 2016.
Emily has shown her work nationally and internationally. Residencies include Salem Art Works (Salem, NY), The Vermont Studio (Johnson, VT), The Steel Yard (Providence, RI) and The Santa Fe Art Institute (Santa Fe, NM) during their 2020 Labor theme.
In 2022, she presented her work at the International Conference on Contemporary Cast Iron Art in Berlin, Germany. She was also awarded an exploratory research grant from the Center for the History of Business, Technology, & Society at the Hagley Museum & Library to examine DuPont’s contribution to the textile industry, specifically their role in women’s fashion in the United States during the rebirth of nylon’s image post-WWII.
She now is an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Georgia State University in Atlanta, Georgia.
Baker’s research explores the rich history of metal manufacturing, paying homage to industrial legacies while re-envisioning the path forward. Her practice focuses heavily on the idea of identity, repair, and healing, both within the body and of place and considers the fragility of industry along with the economic and seismic shifts that will define the future of work. This exhibition specifically examines the diverse modes of transportation that have thrived in Friedrichshafen, Germany, spotlighting the pivotal industries that sustain global connectivity on a daily basis to further stress our interconnectivity. The internal structures found within modes of transportation are captured as delicate, abstracted steel forms.
Through a subtle collection of fragments, the artworks honor the region’s pioneering spirit while prompting a reflection on the greater society’s eagerness to embrace new technologies, including AI and autonomous vehicles.

Sie stellt ihre Sammlungen zusammen mit physischen Werken vom 15. März bis 21. April 2024 im ProjekTraumFN aus.
Gezeigte Sammlungen :
Basement: 212 Fotografien, die den Entstehungsprozess ihrer Skulpturen, Gemälde und Drucke aus ihrer Trashquilt-Serie zeigen. Geprägt auf NFT Anvil 22. September 2022
Video installation view at night: Ferose Attic_ICP 15. März – 21. April
Memory Quilts Pieces: 12 Photographs, die ihre erste Sammlung von genähten Diacollagen aus ihren Diasammlungen zeigen. Die physischen Arbeiten von neun der 12 wurden erstmals 2019 in der Mitgliederausstellung von Einmaleins im Kunstverein Friedrichshafen, Deutschland, ausgestellt. Diese physischen Kunstwerke werden ebenso wie die NFTs gezeigt werden. Diese Kollektion wurde im November 2022 auf dem Entrepot-Marktplatz geprägt.
Road Trip: 117 animierte Diafilme 13-Sekunden-MP4-Videos aus 6 x 6 cm großen Diafilmen, die in 4er-Gruppen zusammengenäht wurden. Diese Dias wurden in einem Lagerhaus in Washington DC aufgegeben und später an Ferose übergeben. Sie zeigen Dias von Reisen zu Denkmälern, Gärten und einer Vielzahl von Orten vor allem an der Ostküste der USA. Sie wurden im August 2023 an eine Online-Gemeinschaft, die Mitglieder ihres Attic-Portals auf DSCVR sind, abgeworfen (verschenkt). Sie werden derzeit auf dem Toniq-Marktplatz gehandelt.
Attic_EW: wird derzeit auf Toniqs Launchpad geprägt. Diese Sammlung von 46 Original-NFTs stammt aus der Diasammlung, die Ferose von ihrem Onkel EW geerbt hat. (1955 – 2001). EW. war als “Kite Gypsy” bekannt, der jeden Tag einen Drachen steigen ließ, und er war auch ein begabter Fotograf. In den 1980er und 90er Jahren verwendete er eine computergesteuerte analoge Kamera, um “Engel des Lichts” zu fotografieren, wobei er Mehrfachbelichtungen mit einer Kamera machte, die an einem mit einem Computer verbundenen Gestell im Studio hing. Diese Dias sind Überbleibsel dieser und anderer Arbeiten aus seiner Sammlung. Ferose erbte seine Dias im Jahr 2001 und zog mit ihnen von Studio zu Studio, bis sie 2017 von einer katastrophalen Überschwemmung heimgesucht wurde. Attic _EW ist die dritte in der Serie der überschwemmungsbeschädigten genähten Diacollagen. Die Originale aus dieser Serie sind als Quilts zusammengenäht und wurden bereits in Kunstgalerien in New York, der Schweiz und Deutschland gezeigt.

Felicia Glidden (Ferose) on the Internet Computer socials has been minting Non-fungible artworks (NFTs) since September 2022 from photographic/sculptural-based works. Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) provide digital proof of ownership. Ferose’s NFTs are photographs and videos made from physical artworks. She is exhibiting her collections, alongside physical works at ProjekTraumFN from March 15th through April 21th, 2024.
Collections on view :
Basement: 212 photographs showing the process of making her sculptures, paintings, and prints from her Trashquilt series. Minted on NFT Anvil Sept. 22, 2022
Memory Quilts Pieces: 12 Photographs depicting her first collection of sewn slide collages from her slide collections. The physical work of nine of the 12 was first exhibited at the Einmaleins (maleins) Members Exhibition, Kunstverein Friedrichshafen, Germany in 2019. This physical artwork will be shown as well as the NFTs. This collection was minted on Entrepot Marketplace in November 2022.
Road Trip: 117 animated slide film 13-second MP4 videos made from 6 x 6 cm slide film sewn together in groups of 4. These slides were abandoned in a Washington DC warehouse and later given to Ferose. They depict travel slides to monuments, gardens, and a variety of sites primarily on the east coast of the US. These were airdropped, (gifted ) to an online community that are members of her Attic portal on DSCVR in August 2023. They are currently trading on Toniq Marketplace.
Attic_EW: is currently minting on Toniq’s Launchpad. This collection of 46 original NFTs is made from the slide collection Ferose inherited from her uncle EW. (1955 – 2001). Known as the Kite Gypsy, who flew a kite every day, EW was also an accomplished photographer. In the 1980s and ’90s, he ran a computer-controlled analog camera to shoot ‘Angels of Light’, using multiple exposures with a camera suspended from a rig in the studio that was connected to a computer. These slides are remnants of this work and others from his collection. Ferose inherited his slides in 2001 and moved them from studio to studio until she had a catastrophic flood in 2017. Attic _EW is the third in the series of flood-damaged sewn slide collages. The originals from this series are sewn together as quilts and have been shown in art galleries in New York, Switzerland and Germany. Video of entire collection (with 12 Memory Quilt Piece Project) here: (7 minutes)
Attic_ICP is an NFT project by Ferose who is working to curate her work and other traditional artists’ work onto the Internet computer as NFTs.

Attic_ICP is a project Glidden is running alongside ProjekTraum FN to assist artists in benefiting from their creative work.
Freelance artist and photojournalist Lena Reiner, who has already been to Afghanistan three times – this time, under Taliban rule of all things, was her longest stay. In a video and photo installation, she takes the visitors with her into a country that is once again facing new challenges and can hardly be grasped with words. The Taliban brought freedom to travel, but took away many other freedoms, especially for the women in the country.
She tries to approach the complexity of the situation with snapshots, interviews, videos, and atmospheric images. Not to give answers, but to raise questions and create connections.
Funded by the NEUSTART KULTUR program of the Stiftung Kunstfonds for the promotion of contemporary visual arts, current abstract reverse glass paintings will be shown.
Coincidence can be used as an explanation for many things, be it the question of the reason for our existence, whether a butterfly can actually trigger a natural disaster by flapping its wings, or prevent the same by doing so.
“Hans Vinzenz Seidl’s works oscillate between these poles of the imaginable (or less imaginable). The baroque exuberance of Seidl’s world of forms enters into an almost dangerous love affair with a color scheme that sometimes borders on kitsch. In the process, classically traditional painting materials meet, just as unexpectedly and quite naturally, with costly high-tech substances of the 21st century. Artistic calculation and control on the one hand, and playful chance on the other, lead in interaction to very astonishing results.”
(Clemens Ottnad, Managing Director Künstlerbund Baden-Württemberg)
Attic is a photo NFT project hosted on the Internet Computer Protocal. (ICP) Felicia Glidden curates photographic projects from exhibitions, studios, and archives to mint (upload to the blockchain) artists’ works in drawing, painting, sculpture, and installation art onto the blockchain. She adds them to the Attic and mints archival and contemporary photos from artists with a goal to develop visual libraries tradable on the Internet Computer.
Artists are invited to submit projects to be minted in Attic.
Attic’s first launch: Basement is an experimental collaborative NFT art project. Basement photographs are images taken while making the drawing and sculpture project Trashquilt. When someone buys a Basement NFT hosted on the Internet Computer blockchain, they are invited to collaborate, experiment with, and make derivative works from these NFTs. There are 255 individual photographs added to the public domain. In the Attic_ Basement, all of the NFTs will be in the public domain.
The second project to launch will be the Memory Quilt Pieces. After her photographic archives were damaged in a flash flood, there was evidence from the captured memories remaining on the slide film. Glidden began sewing them together to make new work. She will be animating and minting these images on October 21, 2022. There are 13 individual works in this NFT collection.
The third NFT project to launch is Road Trip. This is a found object project. The original photographer is unknown, as these two-inch slides were abandoned in a Washington DC warehouse. Groups of four slides sewn together are spinning on a central axis. The analog images have been photographed, and the video animation gives the appearance of its original glass slide format. It is a project about movement, archives, and history. 150 NFTs will mint on January 21, 2023. Nothing in this project is hosted through Amazon Web Services, Meta, Apple or Microsoft Corporations. It is 100% on the blockchain. Artists set the mint price and receive 98.3 % of the cost for their images-not large corporations.
Decentralization is freedom.

Judy Stone is a Washington DC area artist who works in a variety of media including sculpture, drawing, installation, video, and performance. In her recent work, her drawings on paper expand onto walls, floors, and ceilings, creating immersive geometric environments that include neon, video, platforms, stairs, and industrial materials such as mirrors and artificial turf.Stone’s drawings depict spaces of condensed anxiety that reveal the tension between psychological structures and freedom. These structures are found on glass, walls, floors, windows, ceilings, and paper media such as scientific grid sheets, account books, targets.Her work is in private and public collections in the U.S. and abroad.“…there is a huge gift given by the Eastern philosophies in the idea of interconnectedness, interdependency. That nothing stands by itself. Things only stand because other things have helped them out.” Judy Stone
At first glance the works of Anne Carnein and Chris Duncan might appear to have little in common. Carnein’s sculpture is organic, literally rooted, often colored in umber shades. The materials – cloth and thread – seem natural, and intended to reflect nature. Like plants, the sculptures search out the light or push their way down into the earth.
Duncan’s work in paper, cardboard and resin is bright and artificially colored. The surfaces are shiny and industrial. The sculptures start from the floor and lurch or twist up. The forms originate in geometry and the language of constructed sculpture. What do they have to do with nature, and what do they have to do with Anne Carnein’s work?
Well…both artists have a studio-based practice. Both make objects that are hand built and mostly low-tech. Their sculptures are constructed, assembled from parts. They emphasize materiality. In Carnein’s sculptures, close inspection reveals a patchwork of fabric, color, and detailed stitching, creating surfaces and forms far more complex than they first appear. Duncan’s sculptures have torn and cut edges and visible hardware located casually throughout. Color is layered on, and surfaces switch from painted and epoxied to raw and exposed.
Both artists work and re-work materials and images looking for a structure that’s visually satisfying, layered, and open to different meanings. Both create sculptures that are intended to encompass and perhaps evoke feelings, sensations, memories. You could say that both artists value a kind of tension between the raw and the cooked. They each require an immediacy in their particular working process that allows for response to the way a work looks and feels; to qualities of gravity, balance, and surface that make sense visually, physically and emotionally. They value both rationality and passion, structure and gesture. And in the end they each want to be at least a little bit surprised.
The Covid – 19 Sculptors Drawing Project ‘I5OLATION’ came about via a conversation between Sculptors, Coral Lambert and Cynthia Handel when they were checking in on each other in early April 2020. They were discussing how the pandemic was affecting studio work and what kind of support artists needed.
Sculptors tend to work in collaboration or with a team of others to produce and install work so much of the artist’s practice had stopped altogether, been on hold or changed drastically. They found that many sculptors turned to drawing. Drawing is a practice that can be carried out alone and sometimes fits in-between other tasks such as teaching online.
The portfolio represents an international collection of women sculptors from the USA and Europe. All of the women in the portfolio are over 50 years of age and
approach sculpture in diverse materials and practices from public and process-based art to installation and performance.
The ‘I5OLATION’ portfolio includes various methods of drawing from mixed media and collage to traditional pencil and watercolor.
Limited Edition prints are available for purchase at $125 each. Proceeds go directly to support the individual artists in this era of uncertainty.
Alone, together // Alleine, zusammen features work made in 2020-21 individually by featured artist Kristen Tordella-Williams and collaboratively between Tordella-Williams and artists and musicians from the USA and Germany. The first work is a portfolio of drawings made solely by Tordella-Williams using watercolor and mixed media on toned Canson paper. Titled the Quarantine Portfolio, each lifelike drawing features items found around the artist’s home and were made in the early days of the pandemic. Due to the timing, all of the mundane objects have a sinister undertone while displaying the small moments of the early days of isolation.
The second work is Bound, an experimental video piece made by salem2salem residency alumni over the summer of 2020 into the fall. The twenty-minute video features original music scored by German musicians Michael T. Otto and Phillipe Wozniak as well as American musician Will Phalen. The video imagery features depictions of nature, performance art, destruction, and binding/unbinding with performances by American artists Amy Kaps and Kristen Tordella-Williams as well as German artist Hans Winkler. The lyrics focus on the international lockdown and its resulting ripple effect on our sanity and day-to-day experience. Multiple volunteers from America and Germany contributed to the final work by recording the text and contributing their own audio and video readings.
Finally, the bright red Alligator Dream sculptures greet viewers at the front of the gallery. Alligator Dreams is a transatlantic sculptural collaboration between Kristen Tordella-Williams and Susanne Zazo. The two artists met in 2019 at the salem2salem residency program in Salem, NY and have since made sculptures, performance art, photography, poetry, and drawings centered on an abstract alligator form. The Alligator Dream piece featured in this exhibition is a culmination of two years working together over video conferencing until they were finally reunited in person to make art together in July of 2021.
Ultimately, the exhibition describes these unprecedented times when we were often physically alone, but our hearts and minds were able to come together through creative perseverance and the marvels of modern technology. Alone, together // Alleine, zusammen celebrates the spirit of collaboration and imagination despite the overarching challenges of our present moment and the bonds made between makers that transcend physical and political boundaries.
Kristen Tordella-Williams is an interdisciplinary artist and arts educator based in the American South. She has exhibited nationally and internationally, most recently in an old slaughterhouse in Sigmaringen, Germany. She has been an artist in residence at Salem Art Works, the Ateliers im Alten Schlachthof, and Franconia Sculpture Park. Kristen has received grants from the Greater Jackson Arts Council and the Mississippi Arts Commission to support the creation of the Eudora Welty Wreath, a large-scale, community-engaged public sculpture. Kristen is the Vice-President of the Mid-South Sculpture Alliance board and is the coordinator of the Midtown Sculpture Walk in Jackson, MS. Thematically, her work shows the impact of the past on our present through labor, both personal and communal. Our imprint on the environment around us and the reciprocal impressions our bodies hold from the wear and tear of working are explored in her work using a variety of materials and processes including cast iron, hand papermaking, printmaking, and collaboration.
The ensemble ‘Project-Resonance‘ was born from the meeting of two musicians Peter Bácsi and Alain Wozniak, who are enthusiastic about the common search for the living sound and interpretation.
The French musician Alain Wozniak (clarinet, flute, saxophone, electronic instruments) completed his broad education in Germany, Austria, and France. The accomplished soloist and chamber musician taught at the Berlin University of the Arts and was for many years solo clarinetist at the Theater des Westens, Berlin. As a conductor, he has won national and international prizes with the Symphonic Youth Wind Orchestra Friedrichshafen and Swiss orchestras from Au and Schaffhausen. He has been teaching and conducting at the Music School in Friedrichshafen since 2002 and is also music director of the Stadtkapelle Albstadt-Tailfingen. Péter Bácsi is a classical guitarist from Budapest, born into a family of music-loving engineers. His musical career began at the age of 15, with László Vereczkei, and then developed further with the renowned teacher Ede Roth in Budapest and later in Győr. The years of study also brought success in competitions, both as a soloist and in ensemble playing – among others in Szeged International Guitar Competition, ‘Continuo’ Music Competition Budapest, and in Balatonfüred Guitar Festival. He received his Master’s degree in Performance in 2015 and worked in Frankfurt am Main from September 2015 to 2017. Since 2017 he lives in Friedrichshafen and works as a guitar teacher at the Musikschule Friedrichshafen.

Susanne Hackenbracht (DE) is a steel sculptor and painter born 1967 in Brannenburg, Germany. She has been a freelance artist since 1998 and is the co-founder of the sculpture park project “Neue Kunst am Ried” in Wald, Hohenzollern. “In Susanne Hackebrachts work every now and again elementary forms appear –like circles, semicircles, rectangles or cylinders. They seem to be like a concealed vocabulary, some sort of hidden system of notation that has to be read and decoded. Besides these forms, she often deals with the substance she uses in an elementary way. Steel, concrete, iron, glass and oil-based paint meet the observer often in a raw and visible materiality. This immediate treatment of the material – the forming out of the formless – is crucial to her work. The boundaries between wilful pieces and coincidentally made ones often become blurred. The spectre ranges as far as the appearance of the material as amor-phous mass to precisely crafted geometrical forms. In the work of Susanne Hackenbracht, these extremes aren’t mutually exclusive. Further the geometrical vocabulary provides a distancing perspective in the otherwise often intuitively and immediately appearing work.”
– Katharina Wetzel, Art Historian
Amy Kaps (USA) is an interdisciplinary artist recognizable by her signature palette of Black and White Stripes with Pink accents. Possessing a predilection for the abstract and surreal while emphasizing the human form and condition, she presents a psychological puzzle enticing the viewer to question what they see. Highly conceptual with the intention of altering perception and provoking thought, she questions the status quo while reveling in a feast for the senses, deciphering common denominators while recognizing the similarities within our differences connecting us regardless of age, race or gender. Working in the realms of performance, installation, video, photography, music and words in the United States, Germany, Cuba and Spain, Amy Kaps was conceived in Columbus, Ohio, born in Brooklyn, NY, raised in suburban New Jersey, schooled in upstate NY and Japan, lived in New York, Köln, Germany and currently resides in Venice, California and occupies a studio in DTLA.
Michael T. Otto(DE) Ausgebildet an der Hochschule für Musik und Tanz Köln. Otto ist Pädagoge, Komponist, Arrangeur und Gründer diverser Ensembles wie z.B. „STUBENJAZZ“. Nebenbei entwickelt er mit dem Instrumentenbauer Fritz Lüttke Trompeten und Flügelhörner, ist Erfinder des in Trompeten- /Posaunen-Kreisen bekannten Whisper-Penny® und führt die künstlerische Leitung des MONTFORT JAZZ CLUB am Bodensee.
Will Phalen (USA) is a composer, producer, and multi-instrumentalist born and raised in Wisconsin and currently living in Chicago, USA. His work focuses on the intersection of past, present and future in music and finding unique, innovative ways of wedding together the old and the new, the acoustic and the electronic, the fret board and the mother board — exploring folk modalities as they collide with contemporary and progressive frameworks. Will runs a record label (Sub-Urban Arts Collective), a recording studio (Cold Ghost Recordings), and a music school (Midwestern School of Music). When he’s not making music or teaching music or recording music, Will enjoys cooking meals at home, camping in the woods of Wisconsin, and visiting the Logan Square Farmer’s Market with his wife Anna, their daughter Lulu and their dog Ziggy.
Hans Winkler (DE) Hans-Christian Winkler was born in 1989 in the Black Forest and studied art education painting and graphics with Prof. Corinne Wasmuht at the Academy of Fine Arts in Karlsruhe. From 2014-2016, he then completed his studies in intermedia design at Discoteca Flaming Star in Stuttgart. In 2016, he also participated in the FART 1st Stuttgart South International Film Festival. Hans Winkler, participated in the salem2salem International Artist Exchange twice and trained as an art educator in 2017-2018.
Philippe Wozniak (DE) (*1985) is a German composer. His compositions never reveal the complete structure. This results in the fact that he can easily imagine his own interpretation without being hindered by the historical reality. With a conceptual approach, he tries to increase the dynamic between audience and musicians by objectifying emotions and investigating the duality that develops through different interpretations. His works directly respond to the surrounding environment and use everyday experiences as a starting point. Often these are framed instances that would go unnoticed in their original context. Philippe Wozniak currently lives and works in Freiburg (Germany).
The gallery is open Fr./Sa.from 2 pm -6 pm and by email or telephone appointment
