In these months when the light begins to fade, a ray of sunshine while having a cup of coffee, an unexpected new idea, a projected film can be the energy that is needed to go on. From GlogauAIR, we would like to invite you to open the windows and let in fresh air, new ideas, poetics, everyday gestures that bring us joy and of course art, which can always bring a new perspective.

The window as a porous divider is an instrument to imagine personal stories and everyday actions that Hyunwook Park transfers in his paintings and drawings letting us see through the hidden spaces of the quotidianity.

On the other hand, Rita Palma looks at the human species through a sight glass questioning what would happen if nobody is looking, if social norms would disappear and how that human body would behave.

The way MiCKi CHOMiCKi’s work is the aperture to peep out to reimage the future of our memories, the way legacy and icons are drawn in subtle traces hidden in the city, in old songs and mythical haircuts that are recollected in actions, photo albums, installation and videos.

This openness to work with the past is also present in Miguel Angel Montoya: from a picture of another time, a specific place, and with an untraceable folk dress, Montoya reconstructs a dress as an exercise to invent and design from his own contemporary experience.

Another kind of image that absorbs the spectator and encourages him or her to think about the past and imagine new futures are the screens that Silvestre Preciado uses in her practice. In her project, Preciado’s illusion of a room resembles the concept of “algorithmic echo chambers”.

Patrick Blenkarn and Montserrat Videla Samper have been questioning the role of performing arts in this period of avoidance of the body and physical presence: how can theatre creation and live arts professionals continue working without the physicality of the stage?

Laure Winants’s sketches and prints bring nature elements inside the residency: textures of leaves, with the details of the ink over the fabric, conveys a sense of environment and translation to another wild place.

Tea Eklund-Berglöw process of creation is always open to receive new waves of inspiring breeze from the materials she finds in the city, let them get into their studio to create compositions that mix and match transparent, opaques, colors and everyday objects that seem to be born to be together.

The big formats on painting and installations by Sergio Femar talks about the history of painting, the expression thought abstraction and leaves an opening to the emotions of intense vitality of the artistic process.

In permanent curiosity we want to keep all of those windows wide open to a new beginning, to other ways of thinking, questioning and imagining life in this difficult context and paradigm shift. From GlogauAIR, we hope you enjoy our latest edition of Open Studios that it adds a breath of fresh air to the end of 2020.

As part of the Open Studios event, the Project Space usually hold activities and shows. Many times they are exhibitions by an invited artist from Berlin –Berlin Guest Resident– or in other occasions is through a collaboration with Institutions and Independent Curators, opening the dialogue to other exchanges and points of view.

This December edition will be focused on individual Virtual shows on GlogauAIR’s website by the resident artists and they will take over the space to continue working on their creations.

Sometimes artworks feel like a portal to infinite possibilities; they are declarations exposed to interpretation, relations and ideas that bring light to our imagination. This is an enriching sensation that can be shared with everybody, an impact that Chema Alvargonzalez knew how to materialize in a poetic and evocative manner and whose works opened a door that allowed us to peep out, see other realities, just like the resident artists presented here have been doing during these last three months of their residency at GlogauAIR. This work has been reflected in the following catalogue:
