Artist Gabriela Mureb has been selected for Salta art's program 2023 at AIR-M Ebenböckhaus! a residency launched in collaboration with the Department of Arts and Culture of the City of Munich.
Mureb’s work deals primarily with the appropriation of industrial parts to produce works situated between sculpture, installation, performance and sound. She is interested in how machines inherently carry, in their shape and movement, information about the context and bodies that produce them.

The three artists in this round’s residency programme at AIR-M Ebenböckhaus opened their studios for one evening.
Gabriela Mureb took the opportunity to screen her film Crash, 2023.

Thank you to AIR-M Ebenböckhaus Munich for hosting the event!

Gabriela Mureb’s work addresses relationships among body, technology and the world, proposing that we listen to machines as a way of listening to the path that produced them, continuously reenacted in their movements. Filmed at the BMW Recycling & Demolition Centre (RDZ), Crash provides an opportunity to observe Western world's industrial heritage through the insides of a technical event.

As part of their residency, artist Will Fredo Furtado will be screening their film "OUR HOUSE", portraying an Afro-Colombian cuir collective, exploring new black cuir poetics and subjectivity. The screening will take place on September 21 at Instituto Inclusartiz.

Artist, writer and deputy editor of C& América Latina Magazine Will Fredo Furtado will travel to Rio de Janeiro for a residency at Instituto Inclusartiz. During the two-week residency, the artist and writer will lead a 2-day critical writing workshop for emerging arts writers from Aug 26 — Aug 27.

In collaboration with Contemporary And (C&), and Instituto Inclusartiz, Will Fredo Furtado and Daniel Brazil will provide a platform for emerging art critics in the early stages of their career to discuss arts reporting, critical writing practice and much more.

Through the construction of machines or appropriation of industrial parts, Mureb’s work is a mediation on the relationship between the world, bodies and technology.

The event is open to academy students.
Mureb will provide one-on-one-tutorials to students.

In collaboration with Deborah Schamoni and curator Giampaolo Bianconi, Salta art will open a two-week exhibition and performance by Maria Noujaim.

Maurin Dietrich, curator and current director of Kunstverein München, embarked on a 10-day trip to Buenos Aires. During her stay, she visited the art fair arteba and participated in various events, including a podium discussion. She also visited several artists in their studios and explored galleries, museums and private collections. The trip concluded with a conference at Universidad Di Tella, titled COMPARE ME TO MYSELF.

In her lecture Maurin Dietrich will focus on artistic production within the context of Kunstverein München and the practice of the artist Pati Hill.
Departing from the socio-political landscape in which the institutional model of the Kunstverein first emerged she traces their central role in the changed contemporary landscape today. For this, Dietrich will focus on the exhibition by Pati Hill, a US-American artist who pioneered experimentation with new technologies.

In September, Salta art congratulates Amanda Carneiro from Brazil to having been chosen as a resident to the City of Munich’s Villa Waldberta, Feldafing, Germany. Carneiro is an assistant curator at the Museu de Arte de São Paulo (MASP) and co-editor of Afterall: a Journal of art, context and enquiry. Carneiro says she is looking forward to using today’s crises to shed light on conflicts buried beneath the quotidian routine of ordinary life.

In dialogue with the Munich-based artist Frauke Zabel, curator Amanda Carneiro (Museu de Arte de São Paulo, in residence at the Villa Waldberta) will address connections between Munich and Brazil, the heritage of colonialism and the possibilities of changing institutions.
This event is supported by Salta art. The Various Others Social Club series is supported by Phillips Auctioneers.

In this workshop we explored, through dance and movement, the structure of metamorphic animals, hybrid and mythological beings in the body. Our aim was to research the possibilities of bodies in a multi-species perspective and landscape, where the human is just one more form in the larger web of forms of life.

For its first program, Salta art partnered with Kunstverein München to invite Fundación Más Arte Más Acción (MAMA) from Colombia. MAMA described its experience creating a ‘space to reflect’ from three vantage points: as a concept, as an artwork, and as a sustainable resource. By arriving just after the opening at documenta 15, MAMA brought a bit of documenta 15 to Munich.
