Project description for “Artist in Residance”, TCG Nordica (accepted), 1 Aug 2009 - 30 Jan 2010

A never-ending dialogue in our awareness. A concept of duplicity and transformation through minds

IDEA

During my artistic journey I have worked with the “self-ego-image”, and how it takes form in a bodily context. Until now my concept has been based on an exposition and confrontation of people, peoples mind and my own self-awareness. Further on I seek for interactions and transformations of the self-ego-image by overlapping different sources of duplicity.

My idea is to work with the concept of China as a land of contradictions and my own conception of “China” as a land of duplicity in terms of humbleness, self-confidences and excluding factors. How will the self-ego-image take form in a context of duplicity?

PLAN/METHOD

During 6 month at the culture center TCG Nordica in China, Kunming I aim to build an artistic platform from where multiple “self-ego-images”, including myself, transforms into new bodily languages and paintings.

I want to investigate the private spheres, the ordinary life, and inquire communication through façades. I'll work with a method I describe as a channel of communication. With inputs from relations, acquaintances, I investigate the bodily and physically “self-mind”. I expose and “chat” with “the eye” that we point at ourselves. “The eye” we use to make decisions about whom we are, who we want to be and how other people look at us.

GOAL

The result will be 8-10 larger paintings (140x160 cm) where the concepts of self-ego-image and duplicity are manifested, showing humans, embodied in positions of actually transformations and interactions.
