Pecha kucha-style presentations

5 artists… 4 host organisations… unlimited creativity! 

The bangaloREsidency 2019 begins its first round of the year with 5 artists from Germany who will live and work in collaboration with 4 of our 28 bangaloREsidency hosts for 1 to 2 months and as always we look forward to exciting results. Each one is involved in a different area of the arts – visual arts, dance, performance art, film – and will leave a creative mark on the cultural canvas of the City during their stay.

Besides introducing us to their artistic oeuvre and realising their own projects, one of the most enduring aspects of the bangaloREsidency is the intimate interaction and exchange with Bangaloreans.

As a kick-off, we present all the artists in our flagship pecha kucha-style, rapid fire, multimedia presentation: Spot on bangaloREsidents.

Annelie Andre, born 1993 in Salzburg (A), graduated with an MA in choreography from HZT Berlin (Inter-University Center for Dance). She has studied Contemporary Dance Education at the Music and Dance University of the city of Vienna (MUK) and worked as performer and choreographer on collaborative projects as well as for solo-works, e.g. at the Volksbühne Berlin and at the Imagetanz festival (Vienna). She gives classes and workshops in contemporary dance, improvisation and composition.

As an artist, her special interest focuses on the interdisciplinary relationship between dance, text, space and sound, as well as on the transformation of theatre and performance space into a complex place of experience.

In the framework of the bangaloREsidency she plans to continue her choreographic research on power relations and hierarchy with local dancers from the Shoonya Centre for Art and Somatic Practices and interested artists from different fields.

Freya Hattenberger & Peter Simon - bangaloREsidents@Srishti
Freya & Peter - image © Cordula Kaltenbrunn Freya Hattenberger and Peter Simon are graduates of the Academy of Media Art/ Kunsthochschule für Medien, Cologne. Both have a background in contemporary performance and media art and deal with questions of space, resonance, acoustic feedback and social constellations.

In addition to their own artistic work, Freya and Peter have both been cooperating since 2008 as a sound-art performance duo named "Les Éclairs" interrogating questions of space, resonance, feedback and social constellations. Their field of work includes sculptural sound and video installations, sound installations in public space, multi-channel sound compositions, performances and radio plays, as well as documentary forms of the auditive, like essays and features.

"MEANDER TAPES - Tender Sounds For Brutalist Architecture" is a project dealing with the interaction between the audible and the visible - as well the invisible side of architecture. In direct dialogue with brutalist architecture, they realise acoustic interventions and sound performances on site. After sessions in Cologne, Düsseldorf and Bochum, Peter and Freya plan to spot modernist buildings, like the Visvesvaraya Centre in Bangalore and trace their significance in public-political processes. 

With acoustic interactions on site at the Visvesvaraya Centre and recordings of these sessions, they wish to realise a new Meander Tape in Bangalore. In their project they consider the interaction of place, architecture, people and their lives. The edition of a new Bangalore Meander Tape on cassette will reflect that. In collaboration with CEMA at Srishti Institute, they will give lectures and a workshop about the results of their research.

Daliah Ziper - Profile _ © Daliah Ziper Daliah Ziper - bangaloREsident@1 Shanthi Road
Daliah Ziper (*1986) finalised her studies as Meisterschülerin in the Film Class of Thomas Arslan at the University of the Arts Berlin (2017) and Master of Arts in Creative Practice for Narrative Environments at Central Saint Martins - University of the Arts London (2011).

Since then, cities and their various manifestations became her field of research, inspirational source as well as protagonists in her works, which have been screened and exhibited at film festivals, art fairs, galleries and the Deutsche Filmmuseum. The films are often accompanied by analog and digital photography, reflecting on her subjects through the still and moving image. Her works have been published in several publications, such as the WomenCinemakers Magazine (Biennial Edition 2018).

Bangalore State of Mind
Through the bangaloREsidency, Daliah Ziper aims at discovering, understanding and becoming part of Bangalore’s state of mind. Together with local artists, she will build a movable documentary vessel with which she can travel around the city, collecting personal stories of the local community - from little anecdotes to life narratives, or only a sentence, maybe even just a wish. With this project, she would like to bring the historical profession of the scrivener, the public letter writer, back to life.

About the bangaloREsidency:

The bangaloREsidency was conceived as a long-term collaboration between the Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan Bangalore and various innovative and discerning contemporary art/cultural spaces and partners, with a view to offering German aspirants a space conducive to creative output and the opportunity to interact with Indian artists/experts, in the challenging context of Asia's fastest-growing metropolis.

The bangaloREsidency is thus a progressive platform for productive, sustained exchange between artists from Germany and India. The Institute works with 28 partner organisations, who have, over the past several years, played host to more than one hundred artists from Germany.

In a recently-launched reciprocal initiative, the bangaloREsidency Expanded seeks to facilitate artist-in-residence programmes for Indian artists with select cultural partners in Germany. The horizons are unlimited!
