She uses masking, camouflage and excessive mimicry to act and to become the other; to transform, transpose and reflect on the everyday and miniscule, the fantastical and fabricated in order to be a part of something larger, as an individual or as part of a community and part of the global community. In this highly suggestive and transient environment of an institutional building such as the ‘Stjornaradid vid Lækjargötu’, Juliana will guard and defend its grounds and occupants with no weapons of mass destruction. Juliana has approached the SIM house office or The Association of Icelandic Visual Artists [SIM] Artist Residency on her behalf to make a request to the Prime Minister of her action and hopefully she will be there for this event. Juliana intends to center this project on issues of socio-political parameters. In action, performance can reveal the way in which hearing; body language and gesture interact and define our relationships with one another and the world around us. Press kit and photographic material available.

VITAE was also an exhibition taking part in the country wide festival Voila Québec à Mexico, which provided wide exposure of this exhibition. As an artist collective with a fluid membership, Sonnet Projects positioned itself within sites, such that the peripheries and centers merge and circulate between the movement of people and reasons for travel. Its members for Vitae - Janet Bellotto, Catherine Bodmer, Sarah Greig, Juliana Espana Keller, Thérèse Mastroiacovo, Ana Rewakowicz, Vida Simon, and Kelly Lynne Wood - came together to present contemporary works in various locations, physically occupying two places at once, conceptually turning from the everyday to address the public. Fashioned after the Carleton Arms Hotel in New York City, whose management traded art for room and board, this project too framed an artist as an itinerant worker. Similar to others who travel due to the nature of their occupation, political situations, etcetera, this project assumed a form of temporal migration, like a commuter who travels between home and work. Instead the commute was between two unknowns, a hotel room and a gallery, places that continually changed and witnessd a multitude of lives. Vitae attempted to bridge the distance between Quebec and Mexico, while it investigated the platform between living and working space. It was a collection of work that fits into a suitcase, was transportable and unfolded into performances and installations reflective of its contemporary community. Vitae, located simultaneously in two sites, reflected not only the gallery’s programming but connected two areas of the city. It is in an area heavily frequented by tourists, surrounded by prominent Mexican sites, and strongly linked to the community. The gallery became the showcase of these artists, who lived and worked in the Hotel. It allowed the Mexican community an opportunity to have a well-rounded perspective of the artists’ work and to experience something that is not showcased frequently. Artists from afar commonly inhabit the Hotel Isabel, located blocks from the Zocalo, on their visits to the city. Gallery Epicentro is an experimental media space located in Colonia Guerrero, an area that brings art to a mixed viewing audience. Its alternative programming supports various art forms, particularly visual, performance and media arts and music. The artists used the first week to “unpack” their work and created their project designed for the Hotel room. The rooms were opened to the public and/or the artists were seeking for the community’s participation. Nearing the end of the first week in Mexico City, the artists installrf work in the Gallery. Each artist took a different approach in her response to the transfer of this space. Some artists brought “documents” of their installations or installed an already existing work relating to their project in Mexico. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/33448/1.jpg"

Projects programming at Articule came together initially while attending a residency at the Atlantic Center for the Arts in Florida in 2003. While working with British artist Gillian Wearing, the group found much common ground amidst the diversity in their work. The compilation of videos entitled BAMBI was created by these nine artists from Canada, USA, Colombia and Europe and completed while in residency. untitled one minute project presented at the Black Box Theater, Atlantic Center for the Arts, New Smyrna Beach, Florida With a brief of working on video projects less than a minute in duration, the group produced a diverse selection of works. For many, the time constraint was a worthwhile exercise, forcing the artists to re-evaluate issues of duration and narrative in their practice to date. Others used the time to document excerpts from performance, create portraits of local people, or document the landscape. <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel4_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel4_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel9_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel9_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel12_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503528/hel12_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> dance, dance, revolution presented at Articule, Montreal, Quebec [filmed in Helsinki, Finland] BAMBI II The video screening event served as a concise introduction to the work of these artists.

In fly me to the moon, a photographic triptych, the recoccuring image is a dream-like portrait of an artist who is in thought as if "in flux". Graphic maps embedded within each image illustrate the idea of "gravity" in relation to the subject. Cognitive mapping may be defined as a process composed of a series of psychological transformations by which individuals acquire, code, store, recall and decode information about the relative locations and attributes of phenomena in their everyday spatial environment. {image 5}<img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/13_julianaespanakeller_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="445" width_o="1024" height_o="681" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/13_julianaespanakeller_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/14_julianaespanakeller_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="332" width_o="1024" height_o="508" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/14_julianaespanakeller_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/Gravityoutside_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="335" width_o="1296" height_o="648" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503518/Gravityoutside_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/PARAMETERS-OF-FEAR http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/following/julianaespanakeller/PARAMETERS-OF-FEAR Sun, 25 Dec 2011 20:19:48 +0000 juliana españa keller 2503509 Galerie Art Mûr, Montreal, Quebec 2005 Muu Gallery Helsinki Finland 2004 <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/066_julianaespanakeller_o.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="502" width_o="1024" height_o="768" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/066_julianaespanakeller_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> [CLENCHED FISTS] in window of MUU Gallery 3:10 GROUND LAPSE dual video single channel projection Video , approx. 3:10 min. loop 3:10 ground lapse is a looped black & white video projection. The footage for this video was captured 10 days after the 9/11 tragedy. Besides being a Canadian Visual Artist, I was drawn to this site since I had worked in the World Trade Center in New York City in 1976. This video is the result of an instant replay as I entered ground zero on foot with my digital camcorder and recorded my immediate reaction. I became a spectator reacting to a very surreal environment; in a purgatory scene of disarticulation. Parameters of Fear examined the “culture of fear” that appears to be of increasing magnitude and importance all over the world. Humanity is far from convinced that social order is recovering – rather, that the present populace is living through and in an age of terrorism, environmental disaster and widening inequality. The artists in this exhibition examined manifestations of fear both on a personal and social level, and as captured in the popular imagination. The exhibition served as a inquiry into how some of the phenomena associated with fear are constituted and negotiated. <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/2_o.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="267" width_o="400" height_o="267" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/2_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/4_o.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="267" width_o="400" height_o="267" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/4_o_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/exhbition1_o-jpg.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="266" width_o="400" height_o="266" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/exhbition1_o-jpg_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/3_o-jpg.jpg" border="0" width="400" height="267" width_o="400" height_o="267" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503509/3_o-jpg_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/ICELANDIC-TREMORS http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/following/julianaespanakeller/ICELANDIC-TREMORS Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:56:57 +0000 juliana españa keller 2503093 Heidmork Park Reykjavik, Iceland <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/11JEK09IcelandicTremors.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="1004" width_o="670" height_o="1004" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/11JEK09IcelandicTremors_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/12JEK09IcelandicTremors.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/12JEK09IcelandicTremors_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/13JEK09IcelandicTremors.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/13JEK09IcelandicTremors_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/15JEK09IcelandicTremorsjpg.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/15JEK09IcelandicTremorsjpg_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/16JEK09IcelandicTremors.jpg" border="0" width="670" height="446" width_o="670" height_o="446" src_o="http://payload10.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/2503093/16JEK09IcelandicTremors_o.jpg" align="left" /> http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/ASCENT-A-LITANY-IN-MAY http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/following/julianaespanakeller/ASCENT-A-LITANY-IN-MAY Sun, 25 Dec 2011 15:45:13 +0000 juliana españa keller 2503080 Skogar Church and Folk Museum, The old settlement and Village of Skogar by the Skagafoss Waterfall, South-East Iceland A former priest for more than twenty years, 'Marianne', had been in a terrible car accident two years before she left her priesthood. She is still recovering. I visited a beautiful little church in Skogar with her, beside the famouse tourist attraction, the Skogafoss Waterfall in Iceland on a road trip while on the SIM Residency. We visited the Skogar Village and Museum and we discovered the old Lutheran church. It was there in a quiet moment alone with her in this tiny sacred space that she sang for me. She told me that she always sang a Litany at every mass. I felt an immediate connection with her in this space. She now works at a hospice in Copenhagen. http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/Bird-Song-An-Ode-to-Marcel-Duchamp http://cargocollective.com/julianaespanakeller/following/julianaespanakeller/Bird-Song-An-Ode-to-Marcel-Duchamp Mon, 15 Aug 2011 11:56:44 +0000 juliana españa keller 1863584 SLIPPERY TERRAIN The Nordic House, Reykjavik, Iceland May 2011 Marcel Duchamp, whose work is most often associated with the Dadaist and Surrealist art movements, challenged conventional thought about artistic processes and art marketing, not so much by writing, but through subversive actions Therefore, he insisted that the creative act is not performed by the artist alone; the spectator brings the work in contact with the external world by deciphering and interpreting its inner qualifications and thus adds his contribution to the creative act. The performance work, ‘Bird Song: An Ode to Marcel Duchamp’ is a conceptual strategy to remove the artist from a high-art practice and distance herself from commodity culture to concentrate on creating an intervention in the landscape. It is arguable that the art market always finds ways to incorporate the activities of those dematerializing the art object within existing institutions and structures but Juliana hopes that by creating an outdoor exhibition in solidarity with the natural environment, greatly extends an allied interest in ecology and green politics. To add to this discourse, this performance work is a subversive act to attract the colony of birds and wild life that live in the wetlands to the staging of an outdoor art exhibition of Icelandic Art of a cross-disciplinary nature…. Laminated images taken from the internet and constructed as sign posts were staked around the wetlands area surrounding the Nordic House. They symbolically represent a small selection of well-established Icelandic Artists who have left their historic stamp in the Icelandic art world and at large, whether it be through Painting, Music, Theatre, Sculpture, Photography or Film and Television, etc. Juliana’s performance incorporates the installation of this outdoor intervention as an art exhibition for the wildlife of the wetlands. She invites the viewer to the ‘vernissage’ alongside with the wetlands wildlife who wereserved trails of bird seed distributed along the path so as to observe each artist posted along the trail. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0819.jpg" border="0" width="480" height="640" width_o="480" height_o="640" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0819_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0860.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0860_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0864.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0864_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0873.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0873_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0881.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0881_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0883.jpg" border="0" width="480" height="640" width_o="480" height_o="640" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0883_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0884.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0884_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0888.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0888_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0904.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0904_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0917.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0917_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0920.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0920_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0921.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0921_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0929.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0929_o.jpg" align="left" /> <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0942.jpg" border="0" width="640" height="480" width_o="640" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/3195/1863584/IMG_0942_o.jpg" align="left" />
