The residency program has selected Austin artist Andie Flores from the 2nd round of Austin applicants. Andie’s work uses embarrassment as a medium for investigating hypervisibility in a racialized body across barriers of border, history, and capital. She is interested in unsettling categorical, site-specific expectations of genres of performance and recontextualizing the mechanisms required to do the work of the absurd, particularly as it pertains to the urgent task of world-building at the edge of the limits of art-making. She will visit Copenhagen in June as an embarrassment artist and host events and collaborative open studio hours at Warehouse9 and a workshop during this year’s Roskilde Festival.
Whilst in residence, Andie Flores will explore where failure fits into the revolution. In her words: "I’m obsessed with failure as an artistic practice and see a continuous cycle of embarrassment and failure as a means to our only way out – to revolution, deeper into ourselves, and otherwise. I want to know where a clown might fit in the revolution, or what a clown could learn from failure for the long con.
During this residency, I’m looking forward to getting to know other experimental performers in Copenhagen, sharing imagination and solidarity practices, as well as learning more about the neighborhood of Freetown Christiania and its various performances of power, the realities of living outside of or against the state, especially throughout Christiania’s storied history and now, in a moment of potential change, in relation to ideas like ‘queer world building’ or imaginings of utopic living. I’d love to meet with residents of Christiania, as well as with local interventionists, performance activists, clowns, sculpture artists, drag artists, costumers, etc.
My goal is to spend time writing artistic research models and performances informed by what I learn, as well as playing with costuming and interventions in support of local actions."
