Stuart Greenbaum (Australia / Music Composition)

Residency Period:24th August 2019 – 13th September 2019

“I hear music in time as a journey. Often this involves viewing our home planet Earth from a distance and considering our place in the universe. I gravitate toward remote and abandoned places on Earth or beyond as a metaphor. These journeys are ultimately motivated by questions of identity; of who we are, where we came from, why we seek to explore the unfamiliar and how we might consider our contemporary lives. I seek elation and consolation. My music aims to evoke an atmosphere apart from the routine of modern life.”

Isabella Mazzanti (Italy / Illustration, Art Direction, Comics)

Residency Period:24th August 2019 – 24th September 2019

I am an half Italian/half polish visual artist focused on illustration.I work primarily with traditional media: this gives me the chance to dive-deep into my creative process, as stream of consciousness. I prefer the elusiveness of the graytones instead of the brightness of colors. In my art I try to infuse the artwork with story and emotion, giving a hidden, personal sense to my illustrations.

Min-kyung Choi (Korea / Visual Arts)

Residency Period: 4th November 2019 – 4th December 2019

My art practice is motivated by the gaps between images, desires and reality. Here, the images are not only visual productions but also mental ones that define one’s aspirations, as well as a sense of identity. My works explore the issues around representation from the perspective of a woman through repurposing mass media culture and experimenting with forms of performances and digital technologies. Through the works, I attempt to focus on the complexity of desire and desiring subject that are often overlooked by dominant culture.
