Abdruck Totem XI Painting

lives in Braunschweig, Germany Werftraum Atelier for Art and Performance Art works in Braunschweig, professional artist previous senior lecturer in London introducing performance art workshops, realising transitstation, international exhibition as Event since 2003, (www.transitstation.de). London 2003, Berlin 2005, Edinburgh 2006 and transitstation Copenhagen in 2010, collaboration with the Royal Danish Academy. The work negotiates the incomprehensible complexity when being surrounded by objects of sensory stimulation, and the attempt of grasping attention to any one source can often be accomplished only with great difficulty. The studio space is Werftraum (ship yard) and is associated with translucent and imagined spaces in the mind. The reflection of these locations appears to place and reflect gathered and experienced objects. They become the instruments, which participate in the orchestration of unexpected tunes. The fine-tuning is a crucial process which tends to present the ambiguity and where the work begins and ends remains purposely unresolved thus the potential of change and transition continues to take place. With the accumulation of its particular parts, one is forced to combine and relate certain meanings and presuppositions only to find that the bigger picture is hardly suggested and it stays fleeting, escaping the desire to make sense as a defined whole. The question governs my work. www.dagmar-glausnitzer-smith.com homepage www.werftraum.org art project online site www.transitstation.org art project/event site
