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.

This is the first solo exhibition by Dilys Jackson at ProjekTraum FN.
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.

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)

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.
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.

Collaborator Bios:
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).

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.

Wenn sich Technologien ändern, wie werden unsere Erinnerungen gespeichert? Wird die nächste Entwicklung in der Bildspeichertechnologie vielleicht Kunststoff sein, der ewig halten kann?

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?

ProjekTraum FN invites you to join us for the exciting exhibition Containers Containing… by Julie Anne Ward. The exhibition includes sculpture, drawings, digital images and a live video feed from the port of Miami. The work explores aspects of shipping containers, what they contain and the movement of these objects across the globe. Ward’s Dekatora series investigates the subculture of Japanese truckers, interviewed and photographed in a recent trip to Japan.
Julie Anne Ward’s work embraces the shift from the physically laborious raw materiality of an iron sculptor to the contemporary technologies of the cool blue screen. She graduated from The Ohio State University in 2010 with an MFA in Sculpture. In 2014 Ward completed a second MFA in Electronic Media from the University of Cincinnati’s department of Design, Architecture, Art, and Planning. She is currently an Assistant Professor of Sculpture at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton, FL.

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

ProjekTraumFN l‘atelier Glidden Wozniak extends a warm welcome to the public to join us for the upcoming two person exhibition Mooring by Mark Earnhart and Jodi Lightner. The installation is site specific, as Lightner recreated a floorplan of ProjekTraumFN’s space in her Billings, Montana studio and both artists developed the work specifically for the space. Earnhart will be presenting multiples of objects such as fabricated aluminum sculptures, miniature ladders made of wood, and laser engraved aluminum castings. Lightner’s intensly detailed work includes multiple pieces of cut mylar which are painted with ink and acrylic.
Earnhart
Upon an invitation to exhibit, the artists researched Friedrichshafen and wrote about the influence of place on their work:
“Friedrichshafen Germany is situated near the boarders of Switzerland and Austria on the shoreline of Lake Constance. The city is a major producer of aviation technologies and is most notably the site where the first Zeppelin Airships were designed and are still built today. The region is home to some of the world’s most innovative aviation companies and manufacturers and has a long history within the field of aeronautics and engineering. It is within this arena of lighter than air flight that our exhibition pivots. 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, has to do with the idea of controlling almost unimaginable volume and scale. Mooring also has a connotation of steering and holding to a moral foundation as a reflection on the current political climate. The artists will speak about their influences and work at the opening reception on June 9th, 2017
