Announcement
Karolin Meunier at TrAIN
Karolin Meunier has recently arrived in London as the third Kunstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral Artist-in-Residence at TrAIN. Meunier will be in the UK for six months between January and June 2009, where she will research and develop new work, in her studio at ACAVA London and via participation in TrAIN research seminars and events.
The German artist and writer studied Fine Art and Literature in Mainz and at the Hochschule für bildende Künste Hamburg. From 2007 to 2008 she was attending the Jan Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht as a Researcher in Fine Art.
Meunier’s works often revolve around the question how the ‘self’ is constructed and how it stands in relation to other persons within different situations of communication.
The semi-scientific gesture of Meunier’s diagram videos serve to connect writing, speaking, temporality and the moving image. In Auto Description Model (2007), the communication between two people is sketched out step by step, including subjective assumptions and projections that become more and more complex through the engaging, thought-provoking, and amusing lecture format.
