OA11

We had a drink party with the new resident artists today. It was nice to see again some of the artists whom I met when they were here for the interview (‘Ah! I remember you!’).

Today I’d like to introduce Amaria Pica, an artist from Argentina. I hang around with her only for a few times but she left a very strong impression on me. Her idea is intuitive, and makes me feel ‘hmm, you are bright!’
11. Amaria Pica
Images of super-8. She collected lots of scenes of ship departures (the gestures of waving handkerchief) and ‘cut and mixed’ them together. This gesture appears more and more abstract as it is accumulated. There is also effect of super-8 – a sense of nostalgia it creates.

A work using an early form of telegram (a various combination of tiny holes forms letters of alphabets) and a short text. It says ‘this is the first test telegram message from Iceland. It says “nostalgia” [...].’ Without using any photographs, she creates images by using texts. It is a minimum form of fiction. It is also interesting that what the text says can be taken either as factual or fictional.

An outdoor project – homage to the Kingdom of Bicycles alias the Netherlands? All the bike lamps at Rjiks bike parking blinking – it was like a Christmas illumination.
