    Alone, together // Alleine, zusammen

    18. July – 8. August 2021
    Soft Opening Reception
    18 Juli 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm
    Music by Project-Resonance:
    Alain Wozniak & Peter Bácsi

     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).

    The gallery is open  Fr./Sa.from 2 pm -6 pm and by email or telephone appointment

    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

    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

    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.
