“What he said was that 缩骨功（Suō gǔ gōng）was real, only not in the way people imagined. Not suddenly, not like in a 武术 (wǔshù)novel. It took time. Great effort. He had to work himself through the bars slowly, part by part. First the hands, then the arms and shoulders, then the legs. The head was the hardest. He described it as something like a tortoise shedding its shell, or a lizard slipping out from within itself. Not transformation exactly, but a prolonged negotiation with the frame of the body.”
Kunstpodium T brings together four recently graduated artists and one more experienced practitioner. As a group, they spend time learning about each other's work by visiting their respective studios as well as sharing their practices: stories were told, techniques experimented with, food prepared, and they explored what really mattered in their collaboration. ✨
In June they will spend one month working towards a collective presentation, in the framework of the Off the Grid residency at Cas-co
With works from 𝐁𝐞𝐞𝐤𝐞 𝐯𝐚𝐧 𝐖𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐚𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐞𝐧, 𝐃𝐢𝐝𝐢𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐋𝐞𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐤, 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐬𝐚 𝐕𝐞𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐞𝐥𝐞𝐧, 𝐌𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐞𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐬𝐞, and 𝐘𝐚𝐧-𝐁𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐮. The above text excerpt comes from a story told by Yan-Bing Wu, which left the artists in awe.
