Art amidst the trees …
producing a small art exhibition in Battenberg, designed amidst the trees by students, that viewers can walk around.
I see a key task during my residency …
in reducing the pressure to be perfect by practising failure and honing curiosity in what’s around us.
I won’t be moving into the flying artist’s room without …
my guitar and laptop.
I’d like to steer the students …
away from an intellectual approach towards one of sensory perception through improvisation exercises, the creation of three-dimensional forms and nonsense.
„I believe in quality and the survival of the friendliest.“
Sophia Mix, artist-in-residence 2024/2025
I call myself a “multi-dilettante” because …
I’m more interested in new technologies than I am in perfect ones.
From walking, dreaming and playing games …
I get delight out of testing my capabilities and coming into contact with others in the process.
Planting a tree, plaiting blades of grass or playing with a hammock is …
modern art, because it’s about a good idea that binds us together and also a story of material and its cycles.
What will hopefully remain after my time as artist-in-residence …
is a sense of self-efficacy in the public space and a lasting freedom of the mind where our own ideas are taken seriously.
