Alyssa Taylor Wendt fra Usa

Name: Alyssa Taylor Wendt

Nationality: USA

Homeland : USA

Town: New York City, NY

Age: 39

How long are you resident? From  March 2 until the end of April

Have you been in Trondheim before?    No, this is the first time to Norway.

Do you wish to get in touch with somebody in Trondheim?   I hope to speak about my art at the Art Academy.

Is it something you look forward to…?  Late nights of music and karsk and chatting about art ….Going out into nature! I have heard about Nordic scenic beauty but have never experienced it as such. I would love to try awkward cross country skiing and to learn some Norweigan slang.

About you work

Discipline: Multi Media: Photography, Video, Sculpture, Performance, Soundscapes

Technique: Any and all available materials. I usually make a film, do large format production skills, make props and sculptures and it is presented as an installation about convergent energies and participation.

Statement: Here is now. Now is which presence has been chosen. All is encompassed. All collides and refracts through a prism of energy that only you can emit. See nothing. Feel everything. Divide your sensitivities and conquer your fearful nature. I make work only because I can’t help it.

Plans for your residency? I am planning to stay indoors and be crafty with string, felt, yarn and tons of music that my friends gave me to keep me company. I am reading about Beuys, microorganisms, constellation arrangements, and the journals of Susan Sontag.
