Lecture Tuomas A. Laitinen
Lecture talk by our current artist in residency Tuomas A. Laitinen. Lecture is in English and free entrance. reservation needed.
Tuomas A. Laitinen is an artist who works with moving image, sound, light, glass, chemical and microbial processes, as well as algorithms to explore the entanglements of multi species coexistence. Laitinen composes situations and installations that inquire into the porous interconnectedness of language, body, and matter within morphing ecosystems. In recent years, Laitinen has been working with questions of ecology, the notion of the extended mind, and processes of knowledge production. The works are often made with translucent and transparent materials.
Laitinen´s works have been recently shown in the 21st Biennale of Sydney, 7th Bucharest Biennale, Screen City Biennale 2019 (Stavanger), SADE LA (Los Angeles), Amado Art Space (Seoul), Moving Image New York, A Tale of a Tub (Rotterdam), Art Sonje Center (Seoul), Helsinki Contemporary, Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, MOCA Shanghai & Cinemateca do MAM Rio de Janeiro.

Mnemosyne
MNEMOSYNE - Final presentation by Nuria González Alcaide
Memory, in Aristotle's opinion, “is what has already happened. Memory is neither a sensation nor a judgment, but a state or affection when time has passed in one of them”. It is as if the senses left an imprint on the soul, and the memory is responsible for evoking them, once the sensation has passed.
Mnemosyne is a project that dissects and reassembles the shades of Nuria’s memory, where she relives and interprets them into objective sensations in which color is all that is left. Memories are deconstructed into transparent brushstrokes, filled with vibrancy and life, reflecting the essence of different locations. By isolating and reinterpreting these color palettes, the project seeks to create a unique dialogue between place and memory.
Each installation is a journey into Nuria's inner world, inviting viewers to experience the interplay between memory, color, and space. The works are not just representations of external environments but are also deeply introspective, revealing the layers of personal history and emotional landscapes that shape her own perception of the world.

Encaustic Painting Workshop
Encaustic painting, also known as hot wax painting, is made of heated bees wax mixed with pigments and resin, applied to paper, canvas or wood. Since the medium is thermally malleable, it can be sculpted, heated and melted. Artists often use spatulas, knives, brushes, torches, heat guns or heating tables when painting.
In this workshop we will learn how to work with encaustic on a heating table, this will allow us to have a very fluid, transparent and vibrant paint which we apply on sheets of paper.
The workshop takes 3 hours. No need to have previous knowledge of the medium. You can take the paintings you made home. Bring working clothes.
