In the Making #5: Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian, Experiencing Text and Textile. In
this session researchers Barbro Scholz and Li Lorian ask the following
questions: How does light feel on the body? What sort of togetherness is there
in reading text?
They will explore tangible and intangible experiences of voice and textile
light. In their practice, both artists are interested in ways of communicating
aesthetic experience. Procedures of documentation and transmission bring up
questions concerning audience, spectatorship and participation in the art field
and artistic research. We aim to open up for participative thinking and valuing
aesthetic and experiential knowledge of ourselves and others.
Artist and designer Barbro Scholz deals with experiential qualities of tangible
(textiles) and intangible (light) materials, and how their interplay invites for
novel forms of performativity.
Performer and artist Li Lorian is interested in practices of reading text, to
oneself and outloud, voicing and finding new means of commonality. Both of them
have an interest in movement, affect, and entanglement to be investigated in a
playful, participatory, collaborative research. This session is a great
opportunity for them to find ways to share their yet unformulated thoughts in an
experiential method with an audience.

IN THE MAKING
The Academy of Creative and Performing Arts (ACPA) of Leiden University and Art
Institute West Den Haag are pleased to announce their close collaboration in the
new public series ‘In the Making’. In six public sessions they will present to
the public different practices of research in the arts.
Artistic production has always expressed the forms in which we know, explore,
and sense the world we live in. The current practice of research in the arts
consciously assumes this exploration. In the past decades the focus on research
in the domain of the arts has grown – as well as its role in universities and
other research contexts – expressing its engagement with the realities of the
world at large.
‘In The Making’ will address how artists conduct their research. Guest artist
researchers and artist researchers from Leiden University will present their
projects, approaches to research, methods and results. Each session will address
questions inherent to these projects. ‘In The Making’ aims to deepen a
perspective which conceives of artistic practice not as the sole product of
individual visionaries but as a collective endeavor embedded in society. It
addresses the role of art in the construction of the present and the creation of
possible futures.

Pamela Phatsimo Sunstrum maakt tekeningen, schilderijen, installaties en
animaties. Haar werk refereert aan mythologie, geologie en theorieën over de
aard van het universum. Met verwijzingen naar literatuur, film, theater en
andere vormen van storytelling bouwt Sunstrum aan een voortdurend groeiend
verhaal. Gesitueerd in omgevingen die futuristisch en oud tegelijk ogen, vormt
het werk een lappendeken van herinnerde landschappen uit Sunstrums jeugd in
onder meer Botswana, Canada, Soedan, Sri Lanka, Malawi en Panama. Met een
schimachtige ‘cast’ van personages verkent ze ongrijpbare ideeën over jezelf
zijn en ergens thuishoren. KM21 presenteert Sunstrums eerste solotentoonstelling
in Nederland.

een schaar zo dicht bij je keel houdt, zou iemand moeten zijn die je vertrouwt,
nietwaar?”
