Artist talk with Helmi Azam Aris and Sarah Schoderer We cordially invite you to the artist talk with Helmi Azam Aris and Sarah Schoderer on November 27, 7 pm, at basis e.V.. Since 2017 basis e.V. has been working with lostgens’ Kuala Lumpur and the Goethe-Institut Malaysia as part of the AIR_Frankfurt programme. Helmi Azam Aris (Kuala Lumpur) and Sarah Schoderer (Frankfurt) are this year's fellows of this cooperation. The evening will provide an opportunity to get to know the artists and gain insight into their projects as well as into the art scene of Kuala Lumpur. Helmi Azam Aris from Kuala Lumpur is currently living and working at basis e.V. in Frankfurt for three months. He graduated in 2007 with a Bachelor of Fine Art (Hons.) from UiTM Shah Alam. Since then he has constantly expanded his practice and experimented with various media including painting, photography, fabric, sculpture, drawing, installation and art performance. In his work he combines a dark visual language with his personal experience as a Malaysian artist. In mid-December he will be showing works created in Frankfurt in a final exhibition at basis project space. The Frankfurt artist Sarah Schoderer has just returned from her stay at lostgens' in Kuala Lumpur. She sees herself as a conceptual artist with a strong focus on visual forms and especially on painting. For this, the artist first takes the position of an observer who collects impressions like a "sponge" and then processes them artistically. Based on this approach, the artist showed an installation of drawings at lostgens' in Kuala Lumpur, in which she reflects on her experiences and observations during her stay. The talk will take place in English. The Artist-in-Residence program AIR_Frankfurt was founded in 1990 by the Kulturamt Frankfurt and has been supervised by basis since 2016. |
