Artist Resident 2009/2010:Lars Laumann

b.1975 in Brønnøysund, Norway

Lars Laumann is an artist based between Berlin and Oslo. He draws his inspiration from popular culture in the form of found texts, images and objects. By sampling and re-editing, he creates collages, books or videos. Mixing different media and techniques to create idiosyncratic worlds, the results are absurd and unsettling revelations of our collective modern mythologies. Recently his work has been shown at White Columns, Foxy Productions and MoMA in New York, NY; 5th Berlin Biennial, Germany and recently at Trænafestivalen on the Island of Træna in North of Norway.

Trisha Donnelly
Artist, b.1974, San Francisco, CA. Lives and works in New York, NY

The work of Trisha Donnelly explores the limits of perception through the use of language, experience and order. Her practice suggests a profound belief in the notion of art as a situational phenomenon, existing in relation to other things in the world and, just as importantly, to its experience. Donnelly uses multiple media, including photography, drawing and performance, and moves regularly between the performative and text. Her performances and demonstrations tend to happen just once and leave no trace behind.

Donnelly's recent solo exhibitions include the Institute of Contemporary Art, Philadelphia, USA (2008), Modern Art Oxford, Oxford, UK (2007), Kunsthalle Zürich, Switzerland (2006) and the Kölnischer Kunstverein, Cologne, Germany (2005). She has also participated in group shows such as 'Meet Me Around the Corner: Works from the Astrup Fearnley Collection', at Astrup Fearnley Museum of Modern Art, Oslo, Norway (2008); 'The Third Mind' at the Palais de Tokyo, Paris, France (2007-08); 'Depth of Field: Modern Photography at the Metropolitan', at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, NY (2007); the 54th Carnegie International, Pittsburgh, USA (2004); and 'Utopia Station' at the 50th Venice Biennale, Italy (2003). She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the University of California in Los Angeles and her MFA from the Yale University School of Art.

Roger M. Buergel
Curator and writer, b.1962 in Berlin, Germany

Roger M. Buergel, curator and writer, Artistic Director of documenta 12 and Chief Curator and Deputy Director of Programmes at the Miami Art Museum, Miami, Florida. According to Buergel: 'Years ago, as a contribution to an exhibition, the artist Alejandra Riera gave me 12 photographs. It was not evident what the relation between these photographs was, or whether there was any relation at all. Showing this 'piece' helped and still helps me to clarify my own position when it comes to ambiguity, formlessness and the inadequacy of knowledge as a category capable of containing aesthetic experience'.

Sheela Gowda
Artist, b.1957, Bhadravati, India. Lives and works in Bangalore, India

Sheela Gowda trained as a painter at the Royal College of Arts in London and the Cité International des Arts in Paris. These European references, together with an awareness of the Indian socio-cultural situation, influence a body of work that approaches bodily and emotional immersion. In the 1990s, Gowda worked with unconventional materials, through which she expressed what she interpreted as both angst and melancholy induced by socio-political tensions. Her installations attempt to preserve the integrity of the original materials while at the same time expressing peculiar resistances. In her own words, Gowda seeks a 'specificity within abstraction' that avoids strident statements and instead reveals meaning through suggestion.

Sheela Gowda's work has been included in documenta 12 in Kassel, 2007; 'Fare Mondi//Making Worlds…', the 53rd Venice Biennale, 2009; 'Indian Highway' at The Serpentine Gallery, London and Astrup Fearnley Museum, Oslo, Norway, 2009; the 2009 Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates; 'Santhal Family: Positions Around an Indian Sculpture', MuHKA, Antwerp, Belgium, 2008; and 'HORN PLEASE: Narratives in Contemporary Indian Art', Museum of Fine Arts Bern, Switzerland, 2007-08 among others.

The artist's residency is made possible with the support of O3–funds*

Bhabha (India), Sarat Maharaj (South Africa), Angela Vettese (Italy, president), and Julia Voss (Germany), awarded the special mention, entitled Curating Worlds, as a recognition of the re-imagining of the 'national pavilions' as a collaborative universe, bringing together the work of 24 artists and collectives within the two pavilions.
