Residency - Headlands Center for the Arts - California, USA

Autumn Ahn’s Project Space residency begins with expanding the idea of movement in physical space to include a sense of movement through time. Whether through drawing studies of bodies in motion, suspending stone with mountaineering rope, or painting using family ink that migrated to the US a generation ago, Ahn thinks through how movement informs identity, consciousness, and society. 

During these upcoming weeks, Ahn will use wire, the light of the sun, and audio to construct an installation that explores metaphors of the sky and the cosmos as a way to think about survival. Meditating on the poetic nature of human consciousness to question mystery, the Project Space will transform, allowing her considerations of utopian myth, absence, and states-of-change to unfold as a responsive landscape.
