Kathleen Judge, an artist from the United States, works in paint, printmaking, film, and sound. Her subjects are urban structures, metal scrapyards, auto junkyards, and rocky terrain — places where material bears the marks of time and force.

Compression of time and material is central to Judge’s work. A car crushed in a second, rock compressed over millions of years, a city built, demolished, and built again through wars, conflict, and development; each carries evidence of the forces that shaped it. Her work traces these moments of
impact: how collision creates new form, how time accumulates in layers, how destruction and construction leave the same marks. What interests her is how people rebuild within these structures —
reinterpreting space, living within layers of past and present. Communities continue beside deteriorating buildings, where sounds and images of previous generations mix with contemporary life.

Berlin's layered landscape, where architecture and structures from sharply different and violent eras sit side by side, aligns closely with what Judge has been examining during her time at GlogauAIR. She explores these themes through time-based media: video, animation, light, and sound. Judge will share sculptures, lighting, and interactive sound installations for the next GlogauAIR open studio.
