Autumn Ahn
With an interdisciplinary studio practice spanning performance, painting, moving image, and sound, Autumn Ahn's (AIR '20) work reflects on contemporary relationships to the temporal, poetic, and psychological experience of the unknown. Whether suspending her body in digital spaces or entombing poppies in poured cement, the material choices of her work link across time and media to gesture toward varied references such as the burden of history, the automatic consciousness, or the pomegranate that binds Persephone to the Underworld. During her Project Space residency Ahn will utilize light, shadow, and volume to construct a responsive landscape: a space in which her considerations of otherness, loss, aesthetic assimilation, and the residual impact of a present absence can unfold physically-through sensory detail-over time.
Ramekon O'Arwisters
Ramekon O'Arwisters (AIR '20) works with fabric, ceramics, and a multitude of embellishments to make sculpture. During his residency, O'Arwisters will expand on his recent series of fiber and ceramic sculptures titled Cheesecake, exploring new materials and increased scale. Cheesecake emerged from an earlier series of works, Mending, which drew inspiration from childhood memories of quilting with his grandmother-where he felt safe and accepted as a Queer Black male-during the Jim Crow era. With Mending, O'Arwisters utilized discarded household ceramics and fabric to make something whole from broken pieces. O'Arwisters pushes the sculptures into new dimensions with the Cheesecake series: dressed-up, fully actualized, and dangerously seductive.
Please note: Project Space is located on the third floor of Building 944 and is currently accessible only by stairs.
