Ikuru Kuwajima<\/h2>\n

scholar visual arts \u00a01.4. – 30.6.2025<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

What made you apply for the otte1 scholarship?<\/strong><\/p>\n

First of all, it’s because the residency is located by the Baltic Sea. I wanted to continue the project about it.<\/p>\n

What did you work on during your stay?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I continued to work on the project about the Baltic Sea. It ended in a nice exhibition<\/a>, and I’m very happy about the outcome. Beside that, I enjoyed everything – from the white asparagas to the archery, Gut Ludwigsburg and the trip to the exhibition in Kiel.<\/p>\n

What inspired you at the K\u00fcnstlerhaus in Eckernf\u00f6rde?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The condition was very good, and it helped me work on the project. I also liked the fact that it’s close to the seaside. I enjoyed the walk twice a day everyday.<\/p>\n

What do you take away from Eckernf\u00f6rde for your further artistic development?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Everything I did for the project. I also experiemented different things. Like with the cherry blossom’s bark. I think they will be nice inspirations for future works!<\/p>\n

What would you like to add?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thank you very much for all the support! I’m very glad that I came here. I liked it here so much that I didn’t really leave in the end. Just I’m leaving for Berlin for a few days. I would live here another 3 months if another opportunity arises.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Artists Statement Ikuru Kuwajima scholar visual arts \u00a01.4. – 30.6.2025 What made you apply for the otte1 scholarship?
