For this episode, I met with artists Olga Holzschuh and Nina Paszkowski to talk about a recent group exhibition they participated in, "MORA ZMORA Femme mythological figures in Slavic folklore" curated by Paulina Ołowska at Artist House Kadenówka in Poland. We talked about their exhibition process, the experience of a one-day gathering during a lockdown, why 'Marzanna' a Slavic goddess associated with seasonal agrarian rites based on the idea of death and rebirth of nature, was the leading figure of their exhibition, their take on hauntology in regards to their way of art-making. Enjoy! Olga Holzschuh is an artist and lecturer at the Institute for Art and Art Theory / University in Cologne. Her artistic practice is characterized by an intensive examination of the aesthetic, social and psychological effects of technological innovations and the resulting image production on the social and individual body. Through sensitive observation, she develops settings and atmospheres in which bodies and technologies interact in order to question social hierarchies from a feminist and socio-political perspective. You can see her works here: www.olgaholzschuh.com Nina Paszkowski (*1991 Muri, Switzerland) lives and works in Cologne. She studied painting at Camberwell College of Arts in London and Universidad Complutense de Madrid. She had her first solo show at Galeria MaisterraValbuena in Madrid (2014) and participated in group shows in Valencia, London, and Leipzig. She received the Premio Joven (Prize for Young Art) with an accompanying exhibition at the Museo del Traje Madrid (2015). In 2016 she completed an MA in Art, Literature and Society at Maastricht University with a research focus on Liminality as a process of artmaking and defining. Alongside her practice, she works as an art educator for the Museum Ludwig and the Museum of Applied Arts in Cologne as well as the Cologne Institute for Cultural Work. In 2017 she founded the School of Political Hope with friends, a grassroots initiative that uses artistic methodologies (e.g. storytelling events, organizing workshops, art activism campaigns) to activate socio-political processes. Currently, her work is on view in a solo show at Paulina Ołowska’s artist house Dom Twórczy Kadenówka in Rabka-Zdrój (Poland) following a three-month residency in Krakow in 2020.

"Zér0 Genèse" by Joëlle Pidoux & Sarah Schoderer
This podcast is part of the public Programme of Creating a 'we' group exhibition
Online video screening - Zér0 Genèse by Sarah Schoderer & Joëlle Pidoux
"The movie collage "Zér0 Genèse“ deals with gender roles and calls into question the norms our society built from them. The video materials are composed of a self-shooting and videos of the Internet. We created a kind of music video clip with different interviews of women, who are mostly talking about women, sexuality, gender identity and culture. The clip of the Celtic ritual of "queimada”– an alcoholic beverage in Galicia – runs like a red thread through the video collage and subtly sets the pace of the video - the Celts are known for their matriarchal society. The whole structure is roughly like a "news feed" as in Facebook. Our film tells a story. It is the story from different perspectives of the diversity of our present and past."
