Cäcilia Brown Bildende Künstlerin, Wien
“I like to work with themes structuring public space- organisation, the right of use and enjoyment, entitlement, questions of power, infrastructure and resources, but these themes are hard to manifest. So I work with fragments. I understand the materials I am working with as an archive. I don’t invent the themes from scratch so it makes sense to work with material that already exist as a fragment, a document of our environment.
I like to look at sculptural qualities from a linguistic point or the other way around- when in a previous body of work I was letting my sculptures hang around in the exhibition room, in another series I work with the notion of leaning and holding- these terms are actions as much as they can be used to describe the qualities of a sculpture.
Next to my interest in how sculptures position themselves I am also interested in the combination of materials and content, in one of my series I worked with bad connections purposely- content wise as much as actual bad joints.
In the lecture I will talk about previous work with a focus on the process of making rather than exhibiting. Since I am currently on a residency in Taiwan, experiences at Artist in Residency programs could be another interesting conversation.
Furthermore I would be interested in discussing „sustainable art working/making“ with the students. Lets see how much we can fit into our meeting.
