Landscape Painting

CATWALK – a pilGrimAge

During my artist residency at L'Observatoire in Singapore, I did a walk called "CATWALK – a pilGrimAge" from L'Observatoire to Bukit Timah Visitor Centre, which is situated in one of Singapore's National Parks.  

This wander made me wonder, why we wear wild prints, and why we drink. And finally inspired me to do a landscape (painting).

Cheers!

 

 

 

Women in Trees

Join the movement!!! #womenintrees 🌳💃🏻🌴💚 inspired by book by Jochen Raib, who discovered this motif, when he collected photos from flea markets - most photos are from the 1920s-1950s, and the question is: what were all these well dressed women doing in trees? The answer might surface, if you try it out yourself. Who knows?

Stand Tall with The Trees

On International Day of Forests 2019, I conducted an event, Stand Tall with The Trees in the nearby forest of L'Observatoire, where I currently am an artist in residence.

Congratulations to the participants, who managed to stand still in a tropical secondary rainforest full of lively creatures, who also wanted to join the party 😅

Afterwards we enjoyed a l'dejeuner sur l'herbe.

Gallery Go

A wearable gallery was one of the projects I did as an artist in residence at Untitled Space in Jinze, Shanghai. For quite some time I have worked with the idea of creating a lighter and even more mobile version of House of Wild Wood Woman. I use the latter as a gallery, a hermit house and a platform for site-specific projects. However, setting up a tent, even for a few hours, often requires permission, so I wondered if it could be possible to make an autonomous art platform or gallery so light and ephemeral, that it freely moves around, crossing in and out over territories, borders and bridges.
For the project in Shanghai I made a simple dress of white canvas. Imagine! Instead of painting a traditional landscape on a white canvas, I decided to cut it up, sew a dress from it and walk out in the landscape wearing it - becoming part of it.

MacRitchie Me

My journeys into MacRitchie, Singapore's wild forest, became a journey into my own perception of nature - and the deeper into the wild I went, the stranger everything became.
In an attempt to adapt to the forest and the strange strangers I encountered on my way, I designed new clothes, and soon I became a stranger to myself.

Please Walk on the Art

Last Friday I was Professor Doctor Doodlelutsky Hansen, Phd., certified artist, artificial art coach and art funk quack in Vejle, Denmark.

I had a hard time prescribing doodles, making Art4ALL, Art2Wear, Art2Go, Internal Art, Art Treatment and Artificial Art coaching.

Hallelujah. Art cures it all!

FEMALE FORESTRY?
If Forestry is defined as "The science, art and practice of managing and using trees, forests and their associated resources for human benefit", then this might be a version of a kind of Female Forestry.
This video installation was originally shown as part of the exhibition "Who's that Tripping over my Bridge?" at Frederiks Bastion, Copenhagen 2002.
Made by Joss James, Anne Mølleskov and Ingrid Weiss.
