This summer’s DJCAD residency will feature emerging artists who work with video, audio and installation. Valentina Bonizzi, Sam Spreckly and Kim Walker are the selected artists who will be spending 4 weeks together as they transform the Cooper Gallery into a makeshift studio and production site.
The resulting artworks and collaboration will be presented through exhibition in the Lower Foyer Gallery in September 2011.
Kim Walker is a Scottish artist working with sound, video, installation and new media. She gained her MFA in Studio from SAIC (School of the Art Institute of Chicago) and her BA (Hons) Time Based Art from DJCAD (Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design). Through my art practice, I seek to understand pathos, our personal experiences and how we interact with rules and each other. I am interested in the intimate spaces we create that exist between human beings, such as temporary spaces that exist when we play games. My work explores spoken and unspoken words, intakes of breath, reactions to specific experiences and situations, internalisation of thoughts and what we choose to present of ourselves to the outside world.
