Christina Quarles: Bodies Seen From Within

“I love the idea of not being born an artist. A lot of times, there's this mythology around artists that there's just some sort of inherent genius that gets passed down from the heavens. And I think actually one of the things that makes being an artist so fulfilling as a practice is that it is a practice. It's something that you do over a lifetime, and it’s something that is both a combination of acquired technical skills and also just living in the world, and you're always changing.” Having said this, Quarles, throughout her entire life, has had a special interest in the figure. “You're painting or drawing a body, but you're in your own body. We're constantly oscillating between the desire to be seen and understood and the desire to be an authentic self.” “And it's those moments of excess and those moments of lack that I try to express in the paintings. As well as to create a sense of meaning.” Christina Quarles (b. 1985) is a Los Angeles-based artist whose practice works to dismantle assumptions and ingrained beliefs surrounding identity and the human figure. Quarles received an MFA from the Yale School of Art in 2016 and holds a BA from Hampshire College. Christina Quarles was interviewed by Marc-Christoph Wagner in April 2024. The interview took place in her studio in Los Angeles, USA.

Maia Naveriani

Maia Naveriani’s (მაია ნავერიანი, 1966) artistic practice is rife with possibilities. Maia Naveriani is a Georgian artist who began working as a citizen of the Soviet Union and then moved to London. She currently lives and works in Tbilisi. Her works, executed primarily in colored pencil or watercolor on paper, are catalytic — charged with a jolt of life, and composed as if chasing after light.

Andro Wekua: I Don’t Want to Complicate Things

“The process goes through this in-between space. I don’t want to complicate it.” Georgian artist Andro Wekua shares a glimpse into his practice, which ranges between sculpture, video and paintings. Growing up in Georgia, Andro Wekua never planned to become an artist. But he does remember drawing a lot in school and taking an interest in art. “What I know is that I’m a lot in my head thinking about stuff. And I have a particular feeling to the time and the past,” he says and continues: “I don’t only work with memories. Memories are a part of it. Some are emotional; some are just visual. Some take more space, some take less.” Around the time when he was 13 years old, Andro Wekua had to flee Georgia. When we look at a sculpture like ‘Get out of my room’ (2006), we see a young boy, also around 13 years old, dressed as a schoolboy, slumped in a chair. The boy seems stuck in time and space. “I was almost this age when I had to leave the city where I grew up,” Wekua says. “I have a lot of fantasies and memories about it,” explaining further: “It becomes almost a science fiction.” In the time following his move from Georgia, the young Andro Wekua had a lot of dreams about the city he grew up. Always trying to escape unnoticed. This inspired the series of works ‘Pink Wave Hunters’ (2010-11) in which Andro Wekua has recreated buildings from his childhood city from memory: “I tried to reconstruct the buildings,” he says and continues: “The façade, which I really knew, I tried to make as precise as possible.” The video work ‘All is Fair in Dreams and War’ (2018) shows a chaotic collection of clips, including a burning palm tree. “It has some kind of part in my reality, this title. Kind of a big part, actually.” Having experienced the war, where he also lost his father, who was a political activist, Wekua has seen violence up close. “I think this before and after is too mixed for me. I cannot keep it clear,” he explains further: “Violence was a part of my life, too. It’s not something that I’m cultivating in my work, but if it’s necessary and I have to take it to the edge, I’ll do it. I do the same thing if it has something to do with beauty.” Andro Wekua (b. 1977) is a Georgian artist based in Zürich, Switzerland, and Berlin, Germany. Wekua was born in Sokhumi, where he witnessed an ethnic conflict in Abkhazia in the 1990s. He works in various media, including collage, painting, sculpture, installation and film. Wekua has built a cosmos in which he stages fragmented personal and political memories through assemblage-like visual strategies. Andro Wekua was interviewed by Roxanne Bagheshirin Lærkesen at his studio in Berlin in March 2023.
