Emily Baker

Yielding Epicenter

April 26 – May 25th, 2024

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.

Kunstnacht Konstanz Kreuzlingen 2019

Neuwerk Kunsthalle (#15)

30. März 2019
Öffnungszeit Sa 18 – 24 Uhr

15. Die Neuwerk Kunsthalle e.V. hat für die Kunstnacht ein spezielles Konzept ausgearbeitet.
Kunst wird in den Kellerräumen präsentiert – in den Werkstätten der Neuwerker – inmitten der Arbeitsatmosphäre zwischen Werkzeugen und Maschinen, Fertigem und Unfertigem.
Der Keller hat eine Vielzahl von Funktionen und er ist eine besondere Art des Freiraums. Er ist Lager-, Werk- und Hobbyraum, er bietet Schutz oder dient als Versteck. Mit Kellerräumen assoziieren wir Dunkelheit, vielleicht auch Ängste, sie wecken Erinnerungen an Marmeladengläser und eingemachte Kirschen, Kartoffeln und Bier.
Keller und Kunst haben eine mächtige Wirkung.

15. The Neuwerk Kunsthalle e.V. has developed a special concept for the Kunstnacht.
Art is presented in the basement rooms – in the workshops of the Neuwerker – in the middle of the working atmosphere between tools and machines, the finished and the unfinished.
The cellar has a multitude of functions and is a special kind of open space. It is a storage, work and hobby room, it offers protection or serves as a hiding place. We associate cellar rooms with darkness, perhaps also fears, they awaken memories of jam jars and pickled cherries, potatoes and beer.
Cellars and art have a powerful effect.

Trashquilt Repose
Felicia Glidden ist sich im Zeitalter der Plastik besonders des Übergangs vom Analogen zum Digitalen bewusst. Wenn sich Technologien ändern, wie werden unsere Erinnerungen gespeichert? Wird die nächste Entwicklung in der Bildspeichertechnologie vielleicht Kunststoff sein, der ewig halten kann? Ist der Griff nach dem Bild, die Aufbewahrung von Archiven immer ein sinnloses Rennen gegen die Natur, die es zurücknimmt, formt, verblasst, zerstört?
Material: Kunststoff, Karton, Papier, Faden, Acryl- und Ölfarbe, Kodachrome-Dias, Negativfilm, fotografische Emulsion, LED-Leuchten
Abmessungen variabel

Felicia Glidden
Trashquilt Repose
Felicia Glidden is particularly aware of the transition from analog to digital. When technologies change, how are our memories stored? Will the next development in image storage technology be plastic that can last forever? Is the grasp on the image, the storage of archives always a senseless race against nature, which takes it back, shapes, fades, destroys it?
Material: plastic, cardboard, paper, thread, acrylic and oil paint, Kodachrome slides, negative film, photographic emulsion, LED lights

Laudatio: Andrea Gamp B.A. Literature-Art-Media

ProjekTraum FN is pleased to announce the exhibition „Constellations –drawing installation“ by Davor Ljubičić where he will create a drawing running the entire length of the room with charcoal and video directly on the wall. Ljubičić’s work is direct, articulate and searching. His visual language is a mixture of confidence, intuition, and experimentation. He continually looks for new ways in developing form using time-based mediums, sound, video, and performance, with a dynamic drawing style that activates the space in illuminating, dark and surprising ways.
Ljubičić was born in Croatia and lives in Konstanz Germany since 1992. He has shown extensively throughout Europe including in Venice, Bern, Paris, Slovenia, Austria, throughout Germany, and in New York. His practice includes sculpture, painting, performance, video, and installation, but his passion is drawing. Please join us for the opening reception where a young writer Andrea Gamp will speak about the work, and Alain Wozniak will perform with clarinet and electronic music.

An extensive visual library of his work is posted on his website.

Two recent articles discuss his life and work in more detail:

“An irrepressible desire for expression and a vital energy pulsate through all creations.”
A. Gabelmann for Südkueier 01.2018

“Although Davor Ljubicic repeatedly destroys what he has created, he is driven by a search for the whole. A whole he doesn’t know, as he says.”
H. Ruppert for Schwaebische Zeitung 03.2018

Mooring Exhibition Statement & Images – Earnhart / Lightner

Mooring Artist Statement

Zeppelin Airships, blimps and dirigibles have a storied history within aeronautics and popular culture. There is the immediate fascination with the matter of scale these vessels inhabit and the gigantic infrastructures required to keep them afloat. These containers of an invisible gas lighter than air, swimming to destinations, have fascinated and enthralled generations. The impetus for this exhibition is within this invisible volume and the notion of lighter than air which is easier to experience than describe.

The title Mooring denotes an action of fixing to a point, a measure of controlling an entity by means of gravity, mass and machine. This control exists in an attempt to mitigate unwarranted interaction with other bodies. Mooring makes use of tethered strands, which individually are no match but when used in concert can exert and withstand tremendous forces. This action is applied when the vessel is surrounded by modes of fluctuation, an inconsistency of depth, position and stability.

Mooring also describes the adherence to a moral framework. This fixed point helps to define the moral compass of a people and is evident in the trajectory of progress. As a society, we have the capacity for adaptation to our ever changing environments that gives the same stability of tethering to a mast. Though invisible, this framework reveals the outliers and flaws within the whole. But it is within the collective steering that change is possible while maintaining integrity to preserve the future
