Guest studio 1: Michelle Oosterbaan (US)
With my time here @ DCR I am investigating defining some relationships of space, color, and light with the aim to evoke a sense of place and proximity. I am making models, exploring abstraction and the theatre of space, in the studio built from found, folded, and cut papers and gouache paint. As the models move into the three dimensions, on the wall and off the table, I am finding more interest in how the body interacts with hints of abstraction in perspective. It suggests to me now ideas of location and dislocation, while I move planes of color around the studio from wall to wall.
Guest studio 1: Silke Opitz (DE)
Silke did quite intense research for one of her upcoming exhibtion projects. She did a lot of studio visits with artists at the DCR and beyond, in The Hague, Rotterdam and Amsterdam.
Also she had interesting meetings and talks with various curators in Holland and visited exhibitions and museums related to her focus in contemporary arts.

Guest studio 3: Olga Kisseleva (RU)
The 'Comparative History' project pursues several trajectories, not necessarily focusing on chronological history of events, but rather highlighting generational specifics in modes of remembrance. In every country a change of scene is occuring in regard to the way younger generation relates to history. Less concerned with forming a concept of history and displaying a seemingly unproblematic integration of the past, this generation explores its conflicts and correspondences while engaging the present moment. Restaging these encounters for the contemporary public, we would like to engage the political dimension and perform 'critical history,' which is making the past useful for the present day.
Guest studio 2: Yevgeniy Fiks (RU)
During this residency, I'd like to start a project focusing on the Leftist history of the Netherlands. Its goal is to gain understanding of the complexities of histories of Leftist movements here. I'd like to talk to people from different generations -- those who remember first-hand the events in the 20th century as well as younger generations, who only recently joined these political movements.
Upcoming: Comparative History (working title)
1-15 july
Guest studio 1: Elena Sorokina (RU), Brussels, curator
Guest studio 2: Yevgeniy Fiks (RU), New York, artist

This particular project is part of out broader research on the architecture and organization of the early cinema studios as factories, organized according to the most advanced technological processes of that time, the principles of the assembly-line non-stop production and the maximum differentiation of the work.

Artist Talks
Februari 9th, Rumiko Hagiwara, Ola Vasiljeva and Zachary Formwalt, (generously invited by Gemak/Vrije Academie to) talk about their work.
Guest studio 2: Zachary Formwalt (US)
During the three-month period in residence at the guest studios I will be working on a film, the third part of a trilogy investigating relations between visual representation and economic processes. In this film I am looking at the emergence of the field of financial journalism in the 1840s in relation to the first appearances of photographs in newspapers in the 1880s. I have been conducting research at the International Institute of Social History in Amsterdam regarding this period in relation to a notebook of Karl Marx’s from 1868 dedicated to The Economist and Money Market Review. During my time in residence at the guest studios I will be both carrying out research at the Koninklijke Bibliotheek, specifically in their vast newspaper archive, and synthesizing this material with that of the Marx notebook. This synthesis will be carried out in the medium of film and video.
Guest studio 3: Rumiko Hagiwara (JA)
My work consists of tiny changes in daily life. It is based on the notion that spaces contain memories and time as a result of human action and behavior. These memories can easily be ignored as our attention is distracted by elements that occupy our daily life. I point the attention to this phenomenon by suggesting the viewer to notice and rediscover trivial things.
I have been working to document the tiny incidences in daily situation. During 3 months residency program, I want to go out to take photos and videos to make sketches in the city. I make tiny changes in the ordinary situation by installing some absurd items. They would be documented and shown as observations of sight specific installations.
Guest studio 1: Ola Vasiljeva (LVA)
Working in a wide range of media and drawing her inspiration from classical literature, historical figures and events, as well as pop- and sub-cultures, Ola Vasiljeva creates an ambigous, absurd scenography, which she populates with objects, videos; artworks by herself and other artists.
The work often evokes an odd, surreal situation; though being hardly narrative, it often focuses on the state of fundamental loneliness and distancing from the real world. Her aesthetic vocabulary draws from popular imagery which Ola choreographs with witty humor, poetry and a strong uncanny touch.
Ola Vasiljeva (Latvia 1981) is one of the founders of the Ocean Academy of Arts and the publisher of the OAOA magazine.
During the residency at DCR Ola is exploring the parallels between the fin de siécle period and the bohemian sub-culture tendencies of the 60's and 70's.
2010: New arrivals!
Our new artists in residence: Rumiko Hagiwara (Japan), Ola Vasiljeva (Latvia) and Zachary Formwalt (US) will live and work in The Hague at Gueststudios 1, 2 and 3 from January 4 till March 31.
