At present, Alicia is a recipient of the Gaelic Arts GUIR! fund for the development of a moving image work that examines the machair in Bragar on the Westside of Lewis.

Anna McLauchlan
"We can still see the horizon (and it’s curved)”
I was trained as an artist, disciplined in environmental studies and hatha yoga, and now delight in geography. Supporting someone with progressive memory loss means my life forms around accommodation to slippages in memory. Experiencing memory swirling around, unhinging from structure, all prompts deep questions about what is fair, what is just. The residency enables me to confront this day-to-day reality; to grapple with the contemporary tangle of identity politics, which, whether implied or otherwise, has questions of justice as fairness at its heart.

Martin Steuck
"We can still see the horizon (and it’s curved)”
Martin Steuck is an artist living and working in Glasgow, their practice is broad and seeks to incorporate DIY sound-making and collaborative improvisations, film, drawing, social media performances, comedy and poetry. Through personal experiences of precarity, financial insecurity and physical displacement, they have become interested in listening to different voices which speak of experiences of exclusion, othering and demonization brought on by austerity, specifically with regards to policies which take explicit and prejudicial aim at massively reducing funding for social care, education, housing and mental health. Their practice seeks to generate an archive of the everyday and connective practices that amplify and give space to neuro-divergent experiences of life in the post-2008 political context. Here Steuck finds the birthplace for a critical faculty, which can help unfold strategies of survival and resistance.

Romy Danielewicz
"We can still see the horizon (and it’s curved)”
Romy Danielewicz is an artist and producer with a background in performance. Their primary area of interest is writing in and around contested forms of sociality. Romy’s work often relies on collaboration as a support structure, both in terms of authorship and execution of the work.

Will Holder
"We can still see the horizon (and it’s curved)”
Typographer Will Holder is the editor and publisher of F.R.DAVID, a journal concerned with reading and writing. He mediates and reproduces polyphonies of voices as design: bringing meaning and public access to things. His work has taken the form of oral and printed publications; and is informed by an ongoing study of song and music-making as a co-authored process, and production model for other disciplines. Holder sees conversation as means and model for production; and the role that memory plays between the printed page and the body as live, oral publication. As a self-driven study of graphic notation and collective reading processes, he has, with musician Alex Waterman initiated a series of publications, since 2012: Agapé (Miguel Abreu Gallery), Between Thought and Sound (The Kitchen, NY), The Tiger’s Mind (Sternberg), Yes, But Is It Edible?, The music of Robert Ashley for two or more voices (New Documents) and In Memoriam Mary Cecil… (Ociciwan and uh books).

Anya Sirina
Graduate Programme 2021-22
Anya Sirina is a performance artist with a research and movement-led practice based in Glasgow. In her work, Anya plays with the audience-performer relationship to explore the dichotomy of vulnerability and empowerment. Anya saturates her movements with meaning through the use of repetition, creating an atmosphere of changeability or flux wherein actions seem violent, sensual and humorous all at once. Audience and performer travel through meanings and power dynamics together in an attempt to reach a catharsis.
Anya Sirina graduated from BA Hons Contemporary Performance Practice at Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in 2019.

Julia Carolin Kothe
Graduate Programme 2021-22
Julia Carolin Kothe is an artist based between Glasgow, UK and Frankfurt am Main, D. She graduated with distinction from the Glasgow School of Art (2019, UK) and Kunsthochschule Mainz (2018, D) respectively. Her artistic practice moves between different media, materials and collaborative formats — at the crossroads of sculpture, text, sound, choreography and performance. The sculptural installations negotiate the (im-) possibilities of communication between (digital and physical) objects, spaces and bodies. Her practice evolves in non-linear acts or chapters based on narratives combining fiction and theory that respond to particular conditions of spaces and the bodies within it. The processual nature of her practice breaks away from the notion of a singular, finished work. Instead, her work offers the spectator a spatial, atmospheric, physical and psychological experience, casting an unforeseen light on particular environments and contexts.
Recent works were shown at CCA: Glasgow (radiophrenia, 2022, Glasgow), Kunsthalle Mainz (2021, Mainz), Rosa Stern (2022, Munich), Queens Street Studios (2021, Belfast), POKY – Institute of Contemporary Art (2020, Mainz), ATLETIKA Gallery (2020, Vilnus), mañana bold (2019, Offenbach am Main) and Frankfurter Kunstverein (2018, Frankfurt am Main), amongst others.

Kiên Denier
Graduate Programme 2021-22
Kiên Denier is a Vietnamese-born French research-based artist. Stemming from personal narratives, the issues of displacement, diasporic identity, assimilation and radical ambivalence are important concerns of his practice.
Having graduated from the Glasgow School of Art with a BA(Hons), his practice is as much about the endeavour of making as it is its utterances, often expressed through trans-disciplinary collaboration and research-specific media.
Non-native invasive plants overgrowing exhibition spaces, out-of sync automatons and screeching tripods, hovering kites and drones, his practice often manifests in objects aiming to resist the categorisation of sculpture and function, displayed and utilised through installation and performative gestures.

-
Marie Hamrock
Graduate Programme 2021-22
The symbol of the speculum is deeply embedded in Marie Hamrock’s work. The word emanates from Latin meaning mirror and to look. A speculum is both a gynaecological instrument and a mirror. Within her practice it has served as a navigational instrument, a speculative lens through which to observe themes such as sexuality, the esoteric and post-humanism.
Hamrock creates surreal worlds and alternate universes with complex narratives that are neither linear nor continuous. They exist in the nebulous space between fact and fiction.
Marie Hamrock graduated from BA Contemporary Art Practice at Gray’s School of Art in 2020.
-

Sean Kemp
Graduate Programme 2021-22

Stemming from an interest in theatrical conventions of storytelling and the object of the script, his practice draws into dialogue rhythms of rural, agricultural life with issues of fate, intention and recurrence. Using image-based media and sculpture, his installational works render the landscape as scenery as well as reimagining tools as potential props, inert and awaiting activation.
Born in Angus, Scotland, Sean Kemp graduated in 2020 with a BA(Hons.) in Fine Art Photography from the Glasgow School of Art and has previously exhibited works at The Garment Factory (Hopelessly Devoted, 2019) and Studio Pavilion (Motherlode, 2019).

Alison Lloyd
Interdisciplinary Residency November 2021
Alison Lloyd is a visual artist whose work, stretching back to the 1970’s, has been re envisioned for several exhibitions together with Jake, a book published by TG Gallery in 2014. Her talks and lectures have an emphasis on material developed from a fascination with documenting aspects of her life. She refers to her photographic series as ‘events’, which capture a range of speculative and choreographed happenings. During the pandemic (2020/2021) Alison visited a meadow-wasteland surrounded by a palisade fence, naming this site the #meadowbehindbars Between June 2020 and March 2021 she made four week long intensive visits for an instagram residency on The_Edgeworker
On returning to an artistic practice in 2010 her work shifted to include walking as art and out of these experiences a PhD emerged, Contouring: Women, Walking and Art (2020). The thesis combines a critical, analytical discussion of women artists of the 1960s, 70s and early 80s with a reflective evaluation of the emergence of walking in her work. This return to practice was driven by her experiences as a hill walker, and from literature which foregrounds historical walking practices, largely within the field of postmodern sculpture. Her practice has adapted navigation, route-finding skills and contouring as artistic strategies, tools and processes.

Scottish artist, filmmaker and musician Luke Fowler (1978) has developed a practice that is, at the same time, singular and collaborative, poetic and political, structural and documentary, archival and deeply human. With an emphasis on communities of people, outward thinkers and the history of the left, his 16mm films tell the stories of alternative movements in Britain, from psychiatry to photography to music to education. Whilst some of his early films dealt with music and musicians as subjects, in later works sound itself becomes a key concern.

Jack Guariento
Interdisciplinary Residency August 2021
Jack Guariento is a filmmaker and artist from Glasgow. He is interested in attempting to problematize taken-for-granted assumptions about what can be understood to be ‘real’ in this world, and investigating the blurred boundaries between supposedly mutually exclusive categories such as human and animal, self and other, and past, present and future.

Ieva Grigelionyte
Interdisciplinary Residency May 2021
Ieva Grigelionyte is Lithuanian artist currently living and working in Glasgow, UK. She is intrigued in the meal as a complete social phenomenon which links nature, culture and the human body; external and interior systems colliding, mental perception altering everything; it appears highly complex and so simple at the same time.
To unfold these ideas further Ieva employs taste as her artistic medium. Her research includes studies on eating, appetite, disgust and other ideas which tap into the magical realness of food. This reading is followed by experimentation with ice cream, which Ieva infuses with weeds, clay, chalk and further ingredients to recreate textures/flavours inspired by soil, asphalt, dust and other elements from the urban environment. Ieva wants to connect people to their immediate surroundings by opening their eyes (and mouths) to flavours and produce that grows invisible and unloved all around us. These radical though subtle kitchen/studio explorations enable her to create experiences that challenge our thinking through the gentle action of tasting ice cream.

Caroline Areskog Jones
Interdisciplinary Residency 2021
Caroline Areskog Jones is an RCA alumni whose hybrid, exploratory practice has a foundation in print.
Drawing provides a mechanism of exploration and a fundamental component of research which evolves through the investigation of materials, repetition and working in series over time. With a Scandinavian heritage ‘nature’ infuses and permeates encounters, filaments reach through ideas within an uncertain space. Having spent time recently gathering research in the Hebrides, from the perspective of being on the water, in the weather, where humidity seeped through, and being aware of current ecological concerns regarding toxicity of the ocean, the aim in this residency is to utilise the time, facilities and local environmental histories to make a series of prints, perhaps an element in book form, as non-linear narrative. To use the processes of print, to absorb being in the locality will contrast with the use of purely digital artefacts as a means to develop a body of work.
-
David Fagan
Interdisciplinary Residency 2021
David Fagan’s work generally comprises multimedia installation and performance, with a persistent focus on consumer electronics, such as televisions and phones. Fagan is interested in creating intimate experiences using familiar objects. When these attempts inevitably fail, they ultimately speak to a more fundamental questioning of one’s ability to connect to another. Post-exhibition, the role of the work as art object is generally relinquished, devices and objects regain their prior utility. Fagan is currently exploring themes of identity and culture in suburban landscapes.
Awards include Visual Arts Bursary from the Arts Council of Ireland 2019
