On the 2nd of June (Thursday) at 6.30 PM we invite to SODAS 2123 international artists in residency program participants Chih Tung Lin and Kimball Holth artist talk during which they will share the residency experiences and tell more about their artistic practices.
The event will take place at Alt Lab, on the third floor of SODAS cultural complex.
About the artists:
Chih Tung Lin is a Taiwanese curator and artist based in Helsinki, Finland. They curate, do performance art, and make illustrations, but mostly their practice lies between these mediums. In their works, they constantly deal with communication, social relations, and play.
During their stay at the SODAS artist-in-residence programme, they carried out ongoing performative-curatorial project titled “Studio Visits by Chih Tung Lin”. They took advantage of the residency’s lively environment, create participatory experiences, facilitate exchanges and encounters, and spark conversations that engage multidisciplinary thinking and perspectives.
Kimball Holth is an Australian artist who currently lives in the Netherlands.
He is interested in the early stages of the painting process. When the artist makes work from scraps of canvas stitched into a bag, or tiles with contact microphones, chunks of plaster or wallpaper, he is choosing to not cross that threshold and to stay within this basic domain of materials and making. In this way making art becomes an act of searching for something unexpected or accidental, of staying with not-knowing and doubting and forever postponing the final object. While aiming for an overlooked domain of painting Kimball creates installations, sculptures and artworks that aim to retain a sense of promise of things to come.
During the residency in SODAS 2123 Kimball Holth has been experimenting with materials, objects and sounds from the local area, brought them together in the form of an installation.
SODAS 2123 activities are supported by Lithuanian Council for Culture and Vilnius city municipality.
