Art Space Portsmouth International Artist's Residency

The 2009 residency has been awarded to Frauke Materlik (Germany).

The three-month Art Space Portsmouth International Artist's Residency is aimed at emerging fine artists with some experience of professional practice who may have had limited exposure in the UK and whose work is engaged with contemporary debate within the international art world.

Frauke will arrive in September 2009. Please follow her journey here:

Frauke Materlik's projects have been exhibited in both Germany and Scandinavia. As well as working with sculpture and installation, she also engages with photography and performance. The keywords for many of her projects are loneliness, anonymity, neighbourhoods and the border between reality and fiction.

Frauke creates environments, referring to them as dreamscapes, fictional landscapes between materiality and immateriality.

Most of her work is ephemeral and created within a specific space.
