AUTUMN ARTISTS WORK IN PROGRESS

"Foz meat", Constantin Hartenstein

Constantin Hartenstein -artist in residence at Calle Mayor 54- is working on two projects now.
One of them is a video called "Love wars", based on a letter exchange between a couple divided by the Berlin wall from 1987-89. Chosen lines from the letters are extracted and re-arranged to become a film script. 

Love letters at his studio

He wants to portray the longing, hope and actions being put to test while a political border forces a loving couple to spend time apart.

His second project is a video installation, called "Foz meat", shot in Lumbier gorge scenery. His work aims to recreate a hierarchy between animals and humans, the cruelty of nature, as well as, the fragility and tension of hunting and being hunted.

Martin T Raggio is working on a project with scattered static bodies on a dynamic landscape. He would like to portray the human being fragility in nature.

Kaori Iguchi is experimenting with fabrics: Dyeing and creating textures. Kaori's pattern is inspired by the lace worn by a priest in Navarra long time ago; also in the basque mythology.

90 square meter studio

Willing to see how one day the vanilla/chocolate turns into white. Not energy -by the moment- for more wall painting.

Bedroom for the five star studio artist.

THE LIBRARY

By the moment, Calle Mayor 54 library is made up from left over books that were in the house: Science, History, Literature and miscellaneous... It has some wicked titles.
I accept book donations for the artist library.

That's all by the moment... But, one day, it may be as great as the Strahov library.
