Inside Out: Tracing the Process
A series of artist talks organized by the spatial strategy department.
Eine Serie von Künstlergesprächen organisiert vom Fachgebiet Raumstrategien.
The series of Artists’ Talks 'Inside Out: Tracing the process'”' is initiated by the Master Program Raumstrategien of the 'weissensee kunsthochschule berlin'. It aspires not only to provide a glimpse into the artistic practice of prominent artists in various artistic fields, spanning from big scale installations to performance, and from urban interventions to sculpture and video, but also to inspire and to motivate young artists. What is the current research of each artist? What are their concerns, their strong and their weak points? What triggers them and what keeps them awake?
The series is organized by Léllé Demertzi

Artist Talk - Absenz: Theft is Vision
The notion of theft establishes a site of investigation:
What does stealing mean for artistic production?
Is it an act of removal and subtraction?
Or can it be a productive strategy?
Matthias Wermke will provide an insight to the work ‘Absenz’ that he developed with the students of the seminar ‘Zweckfreie Räume - Intervention and Performance’ at the Department of Architecture of ETH Zürich.

Artist Talk - Perceived Realities
Through the use of sculpture, photography, video, and installation,Tracey Snelling gives her impression of a place, its people and their experience. Often, the cinematic image stands in for real life as it plays out behind windows in the buildings, sometimes creating a sense of mystery, other times stressing the mundane.
Snelling has shown work in museums such as Gemeentemuseum Helmond, the Netherlands; Shanghai Zendai MOMA, China; The Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Kunstmuseen Krefeld, Germany; El Museo de Arte de Banco de la Republica, Bogota; and Stenersen Museet, Oslo. She has had solo exhibitions throughout the US as well as in China, Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, and London, and has been awarded residencies in Beijing and Shanghai.
Her large-scale installation Woman on the Run was originally commissioned by Selfridges, London during Frieze 2008, and has traveled to Smack Mellon, Brooklyn; 21c Museum, Louisville; Frist, Nashville; SECCA, Winston-Salem; and the Virginia MOCA, Virginia Beach. Her first short film "Nothing" premiered at the San Francisco International Film Festival 2012, and showed at the Thessaloniki Film Festival, Circuito Off in Venice, and the AC Institute in New York.
Snelling recently had solo exhibitions at Aeroplastics Contemporary in Brussels, Rena Bransten Gallery in San Francisco, and Krupic Kersting in Cologne. She has been awarded a 2015 Joan Mitchell Foundation Painters and Sculptors Grant and is presently an artist in residency at the Künstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin.
