The artistic research
The work of Vala T. Foltyn revolves around the notions of queering the archives, the history of witchcraft, and a critical analysis of religion and Catholic iconography. The research is grounded in a case study of a century-old villa in Kraków, Poland - a site that holds visual archives tracing the history of female resistance fighters from the Second World War.
During the residency Foltyn will revisit archives from past projects and rework their choreographic patterns into an installation project, where words, movement, and textiles create new constellations. The focus will be on creating patterns inspired by spiritual and art practices.
The artists
Foltyn will be working alone in the studio during the first residency week, which took place in January. During the second week which takes place in May, Foltyn will be joined by Sandy Harry Ceesay, Andreas Haglund and Katarina Zalar.
