Copper Leg Open Doors: New outdoor installations + tribute to Sirakas.

 18. august 2023

Paula Oberndorfer
“Vaata, sa vaatama pead! / Look, you have to look!”
2023
Teras, terastraat, keraamika
See on selge raamiga teos avaras ruumis. Materjalid on rasked ja karmid. Isegi kui see on raske, on see siiski läbipaistev. See loob pildi, jäädes samal ajal õrnalt läbipaistvaks nagu pitsitükk. Sees hõljuvad või vägivaldselt ripuvad kolm silma, mis vaatavad sulle vastu, samal ajal kui sa vaatad läbi nende. Kuigi sa võid tulla ja minna, nagu sulle meeldib, on nad sunnitud jääma avatuks ja jälgima, suutmata su pilku vältida.
Steel, steel wire, ceramics
It is a work with a clear frame in a wide space. The materials are heavy and rough. Even tough it is heavy, it is still transparent. Creating an image while remaining delicately transparent like a piece of lace. Floating inside or violently suspended are three eyes, looking back at you, while you are looking through them. While you can come and go as you please, they are forced to stay open and observe, not being able to avoid your gaze.
Kaisa Maasik & Gerda Nurk
“Sirgjoone kestev paindumine”
Galeriinäituste jaoks ehitatud puidust konstruktsioon on jõudnud Vaskjala õuele.
Originaali kirjeldus: Kõrvaklappidest kostuva kuuldemängu keskmes on neli inimest, kelle teed otseselt või kaudselt ristuvad. Loo rõhk on mõjutustel, sellel, kuidas tegelased teadvustamata üksteise maneere üle võtavad. Fiktiivsetel karakteritel baseeruv lugu kulgeb läbi nihestatud korduse, jõudes lõpuga tagasi alguspunkti. Kord eristatavate isikute piirjooned ühinevad ning hargnevad siis taas omaette üksusteks.
Kaisa Maasik & Gerda Nurk
“The Persistent Bending of a Straight Line”.
The body of sound installation has found its last place on the field of CopperLeg.
Description of original: The paths of the four characters in the audio drama cross constantly, be it directly or indirectly. The artists put emphasis on influences and how the people in the story unconsciously take over each other’s manners. The story based on fictional characters flows through a distorted repetition where the ending continues at the beginning. The once distinguishable individuals merge into one only to split up again.

Artcontainer grupi hitt-installatsioon “The Bathers” ehk akendest saun on läbinud põhjaliku uuenduskuuri.
“The Bathers” by Artcontainer Group has been renovated.
Lisaks tuleb esitlemisele kolm heliinstallatsiooni, mis juhatavad sisse 26.08 toimuva elektroonilise muusika festivali “Vaskjala Sirakas 2023”.
Adding to this also three sound installations will be presented as a tribute to electronic music festival “Vaskjala Sirakas 2023”.
Lauri Lest – heliinstallatsioon “Kvartett” on tarbimisühiskonnast inspireeritud teos, kus pesumasin, röster, mikrolaineahi ja elektripliit esitavad spetsiaalselt neile komponeeritud muusikat.
The sound installation “Quartet” is a work inspired by consumer society, in which a washing machine, toaster, microwave and electric cooker play music composed especially for them.

Raul Keller ‘Muusika ühele’ / Music For One
‘Muusika ühele’ on ühe inimese poolt korraga kogetav heliinstallatsioon, mis on autori poolt komponeeritud kõlaritega varustatud madalale lamamistoolile, Tervikkompositsioon koosneb neljast umbes kümne minuti pikkusest osast, millest igaühte mängitakse veerand-, pool-, kolmveerand- ja täistunnil. Iga kuulaja peab endale valima kuulamisaja ja ennast kohapeal kuulamiseks järjekorda panema. Ühes tunnis on võimalik neljal kuulajal kogeda nelja erinevat kompositsiooni. ‘Muusika ühele’ komponeerimisel kasutas Raul elektrooniliselt (modulaarsüntesaatoril) genereeritud helisid, kasutades helivõimendussüsteemina eelpoolmainitud lamamistooli, millesse on sisseehitatud kolm kõlarit. Heli muudab lamamistoolil oleva inimkeha füüsilise heli edasikandjaks, see tungib kehasse ja mõjutab seda otseselt. ‘Muusika ühele’ on individuaalne kogemus, ning see mõjub erinevatele inimestele omamoodi. See ei ole soovitatav inimestele, kellele on vastunäidustatud, või kes on ülitundlikud vibratsioonina edasikantava füüsilise stimulatsiooni ja/või müra suhtes.
Music for One’ is a sound installation experienced by one person at a time, composed by the author on a low reclining chair equipped with loudspeakers, The complete composition consists of four parts of about ten minutes each, played for a quarter, half, three quarters and a full hour. It is up to each listener to choose their own listening time and to queue up on the spot. For ‘Music for One’, Raul used electronically generated sounds (on a modular synthesizer), using the aforementioned recliner chair with three built-in speakers as a sound amplification system. The sound transforms the human body on the recliner into a physical sound transmitter, penetrating and directly affecting the body. ‘Music for One’ is an individual experience, and it affects different people in different ways. It is not recommended for people who are contraindicated or who are hypersensitive to vibration-induced physical stimulation and/or noise.

Katrin Essenson – Installatsioon “Isekas isolatsioon” – heliteos floorale ja faunale, Vaskjala 2023
Paigutades end ühe inimese mõõtu installatiivse kupli alla on võimalik suumida Vaskjala loomeresidentuuri ümbritsevasse helikeskkonda, mis on läbinud tõlgendamatu tõlgendamise protsessi. Looduse ükskõiksus ja teisalt ülevus tõstab inimese argipäeva tasandist kõrgemale, tuledes meelde, kuidas iga asi, mida me fookusesse võtame on seotud kõige muuga universumis. Minimalistlik helipanoraam võib mõjuda teraapiliselt aga ka ärritavalt. Viimasel juhul on soovitav kogeda heliteost kupli kõrval olles.

By placing oneself beneath a one-person installation dome, it is possible to zoom into the soundscape surrounding the Vaskjala Creative Residence, which has undergone a process of uninterpretable interpretation. The indifference of nature and, on the other hand, its majesty, elevates the human everyday to a higher level, reminding us how every thing we focus on is connected to everything else in the universe. A minimalist sound panorama can be therapeutic but also irritating. In the latter case, it is advisable to experience the sound work while standing next to the dome.

Copper Leg Open Doors: Sanna Kartau & Amanda Hunt

19. mai 2023

Sanna Kartau on luuletaja, ajakirjanik ja kunstnik, kelle jaoks on ebavõrdsuste paine kasvanud viljakaks loomisalgeks. Ta teosed kritiseerivad kehtivat soolist ja majanduslikku korda, erotofoobiat ja individualismi ning kasutavad sageli väljakutsuvaid kujundeid diletantlikus kastmes.

“Olen mõelnud pikalt sellele, mis just sinust selle päästiku tegi. Mul on umbes 15 hüpoteesi. See muusika. Su keha seda esile kutsumas. Sina selle käes väändumas. Puhas jultumus. Mees mu kõrval, et mu tundest midagi ehmatavamat teha. See ei olnud otsus, vaid taltumine saatuse käppade vahel. Ma panen kogu oma raha ühele kaardile.”
Kaose käes rappuva maailma heli tundub mulle sügavalt mürane, hüplev ja ilma selgelt tuvastatava selgroota. Heliline korrastatus ja loogika mõjub naiivselt, välistavalt, ignorantselt. Ka normaalsed, loogilised, isegi loomulikud tunded, olgu see siis ligimesearmastus või keskendumine, ei mõju adekvaatselt. Magnetina tõmbab hoopis edevus, lõhkumine ja petmine. Miks mitte kompresseerida erost brutaalselt ja panna sellele peale nii delay, grain delay kui flanger? Miks mitte korrata semantilise tüdimuseni ühte ja sama tunnet, neid samu sõnu, liikuda julmalt süntesaatorihelidest krabisevate oheteni, korrates sinu nime läbi kümne erineva suu?
Kirjutasin kunagi: “Minu jõhker tahe ja uudishimu parandavad kõik nälja struktuurid.” Pidasime pikalt endi nälga ligimese vastu, nimetatud või nimetamata, hardalt saladuses. Eeldame, et iha ainus positiivne tulem on selle rahuldamine. Kuid mis siis, kui rahuldust ei saagi saabuda? Mis siis, kui tunnetele ei vastata kunagi samaga? Äkki on tahtmine ise kogu asja mõte? Mitu armastuskirja ma sulle kirjutada saan, enne kui sul üle viskab?
Kasutan esitusele tulevas kompositsioonis ja performance’is leitud helisid, audiosõnumeid sõpradelt ja armastatutelt, lõike kirjadest, improviseeritud üminaid ja muud omailmast pärinevat materjali. Katse-eksitus-meetodil ehitasin hektilise iha kaleidoskoobi. Lood on päris. Faktid pädevad. Tunded tõelised. Nende kombineerimisel, võimendamisel ja muundamisel tekib aga koletiselik audiofiktsioon.

Amanda Hunt on Helsingis elav performance’i kunstnik ja skulptor, kes on pärit USAst. Tema tööde eesmärk on kasutada visuaalseid materjale performance’is, et käsitleda intiimsuse, tuntavuse ja kehastuse teemasid. Hunt õpib praegu UniArts Helsingis, kus ta omandab magistrikraadi skulptuuris.

“Residentuuri ajal Vaskjalas ajal töötan ma kahte inimest ühendavate, erineva kuju ja suurusega valatud käepidemete ja esemete kallal. Kinnistult leitud tööriistadest valatud käepidemed on mõeldud minu ja osaleja vahelise üks-ühele etenduse algatamiseks. Igale objektile on lisatud partituur, mis algatab vestluse, teadvuse voo dialoogi, mingi intiimse žesti. Tegevus toimub laua taga, kinnistul asuval põllul. See töö on osa suuremast küsimusest, mis puudutab koos olemise viise ja hulgaliselt suhtlemisvõimalusi, mida võiks väljendada väljaspool sotsiaalset kodeerimist”.

———————————————————-

Sanna Kartau is a poet, journalist and artist for whom the pressure of inequalities has grown into a fertile creative ground. Her work critiques the current gender and economic order, erotophobia and individualism, and often uses provocative imagery in a dilettantish sauce.
“I’ve thought long and hard about what made you that trigger. I have about 15 hypotheses. This music. Your body triggering it. You writhing in its grip. Pure blatancy. A man at my side to make my feeling something more startling. It wasn’t a decision, it was a dalliance in the clutches of fate. I put all my money on one card.”
The sound of a world rattling in the grip of chaos seems to me to be deeply noisy, bouncy and without a clearly identifiable backbone. Sonic order and logic seem naive, exclusionary, ignorant. Even normal, logical, even natural feelings, be it love of neighbour or concentration, do not have an adequate effect. Instead, vanity, division and deceit act as magnets. Why not compress the eros brutally and add delay, grain delay and flanger? Why not repeat to semantic tedium the same feeling, the same words, move cruelly to the crawling overtones of synthesizer sounds, repeating your name through ten different mouths?
I once wrote: “My brute will and curiosity will cure all structures of hunger.” For a long time we kept our own hunger for the neighbor, named or unnamed, a hardy secret. We assume that the only positive result of a craving is its satisfaction. But what if there is no satisfaction? What if feelings are never reciprocated? Is desire itself the whole point? How many love letters can I write you before you throw up?
I use found sounds, audio messages from friends and loved ones, excerpts from letters, improvised rhymes and other material from my own world in the composition and performance to be performed. Using a trial-and-error method, I built a kaleidoscope of hectic desire. The stories are real. The facts are competent. Feelings real. But when they are combined, amplified and transformed, a monstrous audio fiction is created.

Amanda Hunt is a performance artist and sculptor based in Helsinki, Finland, originally from the U.S. Their works aims to use visual materials in performance to address themes of intimacy, tactility, and embodiment. Hunt is currently studying at UniArts Helsinki, where they are pursuing a Master’s in Sculpture.
During my time at Copper Leg, I am working on a series of cast handles and objects to hold between two people, varying in shape and size. The handles, cast from tools found on the property, will serve to initiate a one-to-one performance between myself and a participant. Each object will have a score attached to it, that instigates a conversation, a stream-of-consciousness dialogue, an intimate gesture, of some sort. The action takes place at a table, in the field on the property. This work is part of a larger question I have about ways of being together, and the myriad of relational possibilities one might articulate beyond social coding.

Copper Leg Open Doors: Mia Felic & Louise Franklin Wiberg

28. aprillil 2023

Scroll down for english version!

Mia Felic on Horvaatia kunstnik, kes elab Tallinnas, kus ta hetkel õpib kaasaegset kunsti.

Ta töötab peamiselt analoogfotograafia ja -filmiga, uurides samal ajal nende meediumite eksperimentaalseid võimalusi. Sotsioloogia ja kultuuriantropoloogia taustaga kunstnik püüab ühendada sotsiaalteadusi ja kaasaegset kunsti, luues neile ühise pinnase.
Residentuuris töötab ta välja projekti “Krattide taaselustamine”, mis uurib krattide kohalolu ja tähtsust tänapäeva kontekstis ning mille tulemusel eksponeeritakse erinevate osalejate ehitatud kratte.
Lisaks töötab ta pimeda ruumi projektiga, mis on seotud queer-identiteediga ja tutvustab alternatiivset fotoprotsessi “mordançage”.

Louise Franklin Wiberg (LFW) on Taanis sündinud ja hetkel Barcelonas elav kunstnik, kelle tegevusvaldkondadena võib välja tuua maali, teksti, installatsiooni, fotograafiat ning kunstnikuraamatuid.

Tema praktika uurib inimkogemuse mitmetähenduslikkust – sisemise ja välise vahelist lõhet, tegeliku ja kujuteldava põimumist ning mineviku ja oleviku kattumist. Oma residentuuri ajal Copper Leg’is tegeleb LFW (peaaegu) nähtamatu tekstiga raamatu loomisega.
———————————————
Mia Felic is a Croatian visual artist based in Tallinn, Estonia where she currently studies contemporary art.
She is mostly working with analogue photography and film while exploring the experimental possibilities of the medium. Coming from the field of sociology and cultural anthropology, she is trying to bridge social sciences and visual arts creating a common ground for both.
In the residency she is developing a project “Reviving Kratt”, which examines the presence and relevance of the kratt in the contemporary context and the shown result will be exhibited kratts build by various participants.
Additionally, she is working in the darkroom on the project linked to queer identities and introducing the alternative photographic process mordançage.

Louise Franklin Wiberg (LFW) works across painting, text, installation, photography and artist’s books. Her practice revolves around the ambiguity of human experience – the gap between the interior and the exterior, the intertwining of the real and the imaginary, and the overlapping of past and present. During her residency at Copper Leg, LFW is working on a book of (almost) invisible writing.

Open doors day / Katarzyna Pitek / Jonathan Stavleu / Guest performers

Saturday, April 1, 2023 

13:30 – 16:30 Open doors day at the Copper Leg Art Residency. Katarzyna Pitek and Jonathan Stavleu present their art. Guest performers are Erik Alalooga and Janno Bergmann.

Katarzyna Pitek is a painter from Poland. Her works are primarily figurative paintings. Thus, the main subject is a human treated sketchily, marked only with color spots or a barely outlined line. For her, an oil painting is like a quick note, an impression.  

In September 2022, she defended her artistic diploma with honors at the Faculty of Fine Arts of the Nicolaus Copernicus University in Toruń. In addition to painting, she is also fascinated by artistic glass. Her diploma consisted of the main part – glass works “Notes on explorations” and from the painting cycle “Movements”. 

At the Copper Leg Art Residency, she’s working on a large-format painting that will record her stay here.
 

Jonathan Stavleu is a Dutch artist. His practice is mostly focused on making site-specific installations. For the Copperleg Residency, he wants to explore the relationship between archeology and abandoned industrial structures. Possibly leading to old 20th-century structures being displayed in an archeological context. 


The guest performers will be this time Erik Alalooga and Janno Bergmann. Tandem presents the cooperation project “Cleaning Voice” born in January at the Copper Leg Art Residency. 

See you on Saturday!

Open doors day / Marion Bruinenber / Henri Hütt

Sunday, February 19, 2023

13:30 – 16:30 Open day at the Copper Leg Art Residency. Marion Bruinenberg and Henri Hütt present their art.

 

Marion Bruinenberg is a writer from the Netherlands. Her work focuses firstly on the need for human connection, as it calls for a revolution of empathy. Secondly, while taking a critical view of the social, political, and cultural issues that surround us, she writes about the power of nature and our role and place in it. Her nomination for one of the Dutch most prestigious Essay Awards led to a bidding war between several publishing agencies, which was won by Podium. Her debut novel, Nieuweling (Newcomer), was published in 2022 and was well received in the press, which gave rise to radio interviews, literary performances, and award nominations. At Copper Leg Art Residency, she is working on her second novel.

 

Henri Hütt is a (performing) artist from Estonia. His spectrum of artwork contains predominantly technological performative acts, sound-performances, staged exhibitions, curating, writing, installative performances, and other unattainable formats.

He graduated from the University of Tartu Viljandi Culture Academy of Culture with a major in choreography and has a master’s degree in performance art from the Estonian Academy of Arts. Henri’s artistic examples include performances, which connect all theatre spaces in Estonia as well as the microtonal flickering of an empty space.

At the Copper Leg Art Residency, Henri deals with giving a voice to those who are not normally listened to or who/what cannot be usually heard. The performative act snippet that he is going to present is called “Safe space for the mistaken ones “.

Open doors day / John McGarity

Sunday, December 18, 2022
13:30 – 16:30 Open doors day at the Copper Leg Art Residency / John McGarity’s installation presentation.

John McGarity is an American visual artist based in Brooklyn, New York. His work utilizes multiple mediums including painting, video, photography, and multi-media installation.  

“197: Order of the Old Line” is a series of works that have been developing for over 20 years now. The work is couched in a folklore-driven narrative. His process involves researching different regional folklore and mythology for elements that he collects and processes through his experiences and visual cues to develop his own narrative allegories. The intent of his research is to find common elements that are found in different provincial storytellings and how the use of colloquial symbology and pictorial depictions help inform an ethos and virtue within specific communities and what are the nuanced elements that are common with other regional communities around the world, both contemporary and historical. For his project at Copperleg Artist Residency, McGarity has created a multimedia installation loosely based on the Estonian folklore character Vanatühi and his küüntest kübar (a hat of fingernails that he believes makes him invisible). John has used these ideas to inform his character Vance Tooey, an old and rarely seen man that lives out on the edge of the town Mallet Creek, along the Falu Bogs, where he makes his clay ocarinas. For the people of Mallet Creek, his rare and mysterious presence is the subject of rumor, curiosity, and fear as no one really knows much about him beyond anecdotal sightings and stories. 

See you on Sunday!

Open doors day / Anders Bergman / Tina Kohlmann

Saturday, November 26, 2022  

13:30 – 16:30 Open doors day at the Copper Leg Art Residency/presentation of Anders Bergman and Tina Kohlmann artworks. 

 

Anders Bergman is a Swedish artist who has lived and worked primarily in Helsinki since 2000. Bergman’s art practice is a journey through diverse fields of installation, painting, music, sounds and social environments – in which he investigates energy across a vast array of forms. He conceives of music and other forms of sound as a sort of “floating architecture”, and in turn, he often thinks of paintings and installations as “frozen music”. 

At Copper Leg art residency Bergman is working on an upcoming installation work that will be presented in Helsinki next summer. The installation work will consist of a series of collage works made from found semitransparent architect drawings which will be displayed on the gallery windows. 

Artist’s website: www.andersbergman.net 

 

Tina Kohlmann is a German artist living and working in Frankfurt. Her work presents artifacts, ideas, and stories. Inspired by traces of shamanic practice she slowly crafts her very own mythology through a semi-anthropological approach, mixed with a degree of pop cultural aesthetics. The resulting worlds are suspended between nature and culture, legends, and facts, found and fictional objects. The works often suggest functionality as ritual objects, yet they do not answer the question of who might be using them, or which kind of ceremonies they are meant for.  

At Copper Leg Art Residency Kohlmann is creating a latch hook rug and ceramics in relation to her research on Estonian folklore, mythology, and magic.
