Christel Dillbohner at the ICI

ICI-VIRchristel

Mit dem anderen Blick
2 May – 21 May, 2013

“I want to come and look with a fresh eye … then translate, transform, ferry across that deep river of inquiry.”

Visualist-in-Residence and longtime ICI associate, Christel Dillbohner, spent two weeks of inquiry and discovery at the Institute of Cultural Inquiry. On Saturday, May 18, she shared her processes of visual research along with her unique, ephemeral findings with an enthusiastic audience. Dillbohner documented her residency on the VIR blog.

ICI New Visualist-in-Residence Julene Paul

The ICI would like to welcome our newest Visualist-in-Residence, Julene Paul.

Her proposed project is an exploration of memory and its visual representation in space, taking the visual exterior of a city as a starting point and investigating the worlds that lie beneath the present and what they represent in the past as well as future. Her project hopes to create an ambitious representation of how memory can be represented visually and spatially.

The ICI is looking forward to development of Paul’s project and hope the experience proves illuminating for both parties.

Visual Researcher-in-Residence

The Visual Researcher-in-Residence program is designed for artists, writers, scholars or serious tinkerers, whos work or ideas fall outside of the typical bounds of recognized visual genres. We are looking for a visual researcher(s) whose cultural investigations, analyses, examinations, and experimentations are sympathetic with that of the Institute. The visual researcher will be offered a research space and access to the ICI library as well as the ICI’s collection of visual tools.
The ICI’s current research theme is PHANTOM, MIRRORED, AND DOUBLED WORLDS and the resident will be encouraged to interface with this theme.
