Recipient of Project Stipend from the City of Leipzig Cultural Offices from October-December 2021
Shapes of Destruction is an installation artwork that redirects human perception towards ecology and the (in)visible reality of its destruction. It is an artistic investigation of the traces that humans leave in the landscap and how the depiction of these traces in an installation can be redefined in order to provoke an urgen dialogue about environmental care and solidarity.

Die Entstehung einer Künstlerischen Tatsache - Arts & Science Residency Jena
I was honored to be part of the science and art residency from July - October 2021. During a three month period, I was working and living in Jena, exchanging with scientists with a goal to create an installation reflecting on ecological scientific research, specificallylooking into the Nicotiana Attenuata Plant.
After visiting multiple labs and scientists from Hans Knöll, Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, and the EMZ in July, I was able to translate the materials and narratives I witnessed in the lab into a room-filling instalation that is now to see at the group exhibition “Genesis of an Artistic Fact”. An artist panel was held with the artists involved at the opening reception of the group exhibition. The artist panel along with the introductions and speaches held by Dr. Franziska Eberl, Ingeborg Reichle, and Curator Paolina Wandruszka can be viewed here.
“Genesis of an Artistic Fact” is running until November 2021 in the Trafo on Nollendorferstr 30, Jena.
This installation is my artistic interpretation of my time and existence within the art & science residency program from the last 3 months. I was inspired by the equipment and staging of equipment when I visited the Max Planck Institute for Chemical Ecology, the Leibniz-Hans Knöll Institute, and the Electron Microscopy Center. Whenever I visited a lab, I would ask if they had extra or wasted material I could take with me. The story being told in this piece is about the Nicotiana Attenuata plant, a plant native to Utah, and how the microbiome is studied and tested in both natural landscapes and in the lab. My experimental field narrates the repetitive and method-based research in the labs and in Utah. This playful interpretation of scientific research as artistic practice touches on significant conversations I had with scientists about legitimacy, truth, and failure.

Partnership with Amazon Watch Organization for current project: Shapes of Destruction
For 25 years, Amazon Watch has protected the rainforest and advanced the rights of Indigenous peoples in the Amazon Basin. Amazon Watch protects millions of acres of rainforest every year by partnering with Indigenous peoples – the best stewards of the forest – to directly challenge the corporate and government powers that threaten the Amazon and our climate.
The knowledge, cultures, and traditional practices of Amazon Watch’s Indigenous partners contribute greatly to sustainable and equitable stewardship of the Amazon and all of Mother Earth. Amazon Watch promotes these Indigenous-led solutions and expands capacity for Indigenous leaders, especially women, to maintain their autonomy and sovereignty for the stewardship of their ancestral territories.

Amazon Watch promotes these Indigenous-led solutions and expands capacity for Indigenous leaders, especially women, to maintain their autonomy and sovereignty for the stewardship of their ancestral territories.
I am happy to announce my partnership with this organization. My current project titled “Shapes of Destruction” is a series of artworks inspired by interior design objects, drawings, and photographs mediating the correlation between deforestation and domesticity. The topographic colours and formations of deforestation, mines, landfills, large-scale farms, or power plants around the Amazon Rainforest are the reference points for each tufted piece.
By the end of 2021, I will launch the first pieces from this project on my online shop.
Your purchase will directly support critical efforts to protect the rainforest and stand in solidarity with Indigenous peoples. 100% of donations to Amazon Watch go to their programmatic work to stop Amazon destruction, advance Indigenous solutions and support climate justice. Thank you!
Artwork shown in “Appointment X”, GfZK, June 26 - October 17, 2021
It has become increasingly important to reflect on the local environment – particularly in view of the pandemic. This also applies to the work of the art institution. For this reason, the experimental exhibition project Appointment X focuses on communication in this area and on building relationships between the GfZK, artists and local actors, networks, neighbourhoods and public places. The starting point of the project is the following question: how can culture be made accessible to a larger circle of people, what types of encounter are needed for this and where could they take place, for example outside of the museum?
The exhibition invites people to special appointments under different premises: in the form of spontaneous feedback or deeper conversations, on a participatory basis, for sporting activities or moments of surprise. The participating artists, directors and performers interact with the audience, drawing on ideas from the workshop, mobile stages, communicative kiosks, youth club and public meeting places. For example, they set up a village square in the building, and a project entitled “Volks*theater” (folk theatre) invites visitors to express their ideas on what forms theatre could take in the future. As well as the appointments and events that take place at the GfZK, the exhibition also includes walks and excursions.
This kind of project approach dissolves the walls of the museum; the neighbourhood is invited to participate, contributing its ideas on the relationships between the institution, local residents and the wider circle of interested parties.
Set & Costume Design for Molded Dances
Premiered on 17 / 18 / 19 SEPTEMBER 2021
at LOFFT - DAS THEATER, LEIPZIG
Photo: Bernadette Keating
Concept and Direction: Clara Sjölin
Creation and Performance: Sean Murray, Camilla Isola, Clara Sjölin
Costume and Scenic Design: Andrea Garcia Vasquez
Molded Dances is a sophisticated but naive dance performance, mixing the nerdy study of Laban’s dance notation system and the strive for a free life. With inspiration taken from the alternative community that took place at Monte Verità in Switzerland in the early 1900’s, Clara Sjölin is together with her collaborators investigating the wish to withdraw oneself from society to instead explore a lifestyle liberated from imposed rules.
Photo: Bernadette Keating
The choreographic framework and the spatial structures reinforces the performers’ movements as much as they restrict and mold. Their dancing obeys the order, still they also manifest a myriad of emancipations where the distinction between what is enslaving and what is freeing is blurring. They dance in unity and on their own, well planned and in aimless improvisations, they follow the given task and their own instinct. Whilst the performers liberate themselves from one set of rules, they are confronted with the establishment of another set of them.

Helmut Gallery, “Contaminated Current” an Exhibition in collaboration with Fabian Lehmann May-June 2021
Andrea Garcia Vasquez and Fabian Lehmann collaborate on environment-making to discover,
or reevaluate, digital and analogue versions of the reality of ecology.
Using symbols and textures, the two artists drift away from the sublime memory of nature and
enter into a realm of contemplation; researching a global, contaminated current.
What does it mean to be (a)part of ecology today?
Contaminated Currents will be part of the Art Go East Festival.

Interview and Article from Pilotenkueche Magazine March 2021
I was honoured to recently have been asked by Andrii Myroshnychenko, current journalism resident at Pilotenkueche, to be interviewed for an article in the Pilotenkueche Magazine. After an almost two hour Zoom meeting where he asked some really great and thought provoking questions about my personal history, art practice, and professional experiences, he wrote this lovely article. It was a pleasureCheck it out at out here!

Published Poems & Experimental Writing in TEXTUR Magazine
Three excerpts of my poetry and experimental writing were selected and published in TEXTUR Magazine issue 3 of Art and Sustainability in November 2020.Magazines can be ordered online for suggested 14 Euro at: https://texturmag.com/
"Preface:
art & sustainability
The title of textur no. 3 is relatively straightforward. Perhaps, in order to capture the multifaceted approaches of the artists and authors who contributed to the issue, it could even be more accurately described as ‘art & sustainabilities’. A minor adjustment, though not an entirely necessary one, as what unfolds in this issue is the inextricability of the different approaches to sustainability discussed — environmental, economic, social, etc. It’s an entanglement that has been further amplified by current global events."
Grantee of DENKZEIT Project Stipend from KdfS for Corona Clips Video Series
The project Corona Clips 2020 was funded and supported by the DENKZEIT project stipend from the Cultural Foundation of the Free State of Saxony in the Summer of 2020. The project stipend supported and funded a series of videos I made which I title Corona Clips. The videos are based on my own personal experience of experiencing lockdown and the start of the pandemic while being physically far from my family and loves ones. The influence of news, safety instructions, social media whip lash, and constant paranoia inspired the pace, sound, and imagery in these videos. The Corona Clips have been since exhibited twice in different forms. The project is still a work in progress and continues to take different forms just as the Corona Virus takes within out society.UNENDLICH EXHIBITION in Thallwitz from th FAIL Institute 4-12 September 2020
I am exhibiting in a small hut in Thallwitz. The site-specific installation deals with the experience of a place in digital and reality. Fragments from digital landscape, Google Earth, and the actual landscape come together to question how we perceive our environments as visitors and inhabitants.

Brandenburger Str. 2, Leipzig
WE ALL SHOULD BE LICHENS ist eine Ausstellung von Studierenden der Hochschule für Grafik und Buchkunst Leipzig und dem Deutschen Literaturinstitut Leipzig in Zusammenarbeit mit Joachim Blank. Die Ausstellung in der a&o Kunsthalle in Leipzig untersucht das prekäre Verhältnis des Menschen zur Natur. Ausgangspunkt und Motivation für diese, von Studierenden und Lehrenden gemeinsam konzipierte Ausstellung ist der globale Klimawandel und die dadurch ausgelösten politischen, ethischen und technologischen Debatten. Ausgehend vom Begriff des Anthroprozäns vereint und präsentiert die Ausstellung tentakuläre Positionen und Perspektiven, die sich auf direkte, observierende und oft poetische Weise in vielfältigen Formen, Materialien und Medien einer Zeit nach der „alten Natur“ nähern.
VAR13 in Westpol Airspace 10.-18. May, 2019
{var}: The variable. It can be a value, a set of data, a number, the measurement of changing criteria over a course of time. Objects vary
in size, the lights on screens vary in brightness, our mood and the
weather may also vary from day to day.
What if, for instance, the variabilities in nature and climate are
surpassing their extremities? Or on the contrary, what if there is no
longer a predictable spectrum within which the extremities of nature
and climate currently exist?
Nature and its order continue to experience the detrimental disruption
due to the industrial revolution. Through the exhaustion and
depletion of resources, the earth is going through an ecological
debt and its ability to be regenerated is dramatically plummeting
every year. The apocalypse has been fantasized since centuries through
fiction writing, art, and the new testament. However, the more
ecologists and environmentalists discover about our planets current
state, the clearer it becomes that this prophecy could actually occur.
Can we put our faith into bioengineering? Can nature and its variables
be reprogrammed? Will this apocalypse be something we may actually
witness?
VaR13 is a play on the words “Value at Risk” while utilizing the
stigma of the number 13. As the title for the group exhibition from
Fachklasse Blank, it establishes discourse around our future at risk.
Taking place inside of a church, VAR13 displays works by various
artists who are investigating the relationships between nature and art
as well as image and productivity. It is a collection of artworks
exploring visual fictions, visual prophecies, and visual realities in
our current state of variable possibilities.

Nov 2018 @ Gapgap, Leipzig
Molting rock crumbles from the crust of her carcass.
Steam and smoke pump at inconsistent,
beating breaths. Black oxygen inhaled into the grey heart
of a black rock.
The endless pushing of the winds eroded her
parts into golden flakes.
Whispering, tumbling, drying in the open.
As the breeze weaves itself between her hands, she
sings to the water, and the soil, and the cycle.
Her hands brush the fields in
between yesterday and a time we
fear to never experience. For feeling the
experience would mean it would at some point
end… at some point die. She wishes to stay there-
swinging between the in-betweens.
Therefore, she bears the budges which bend
her in any of many directions, for however
long, until the blows bring her back to a
place she barely belongs.

TREDAN: solo exhibition from AGV at ReTramp Gallery, Berlin
This exhibition is an inventory of the marks and traces I have made in places together with the marks and traces that places have left on me. Topographical representations and geological perspectives investigating interconnections between man and landscape. Can a human psychological experience be correspondent with the psychology of the urban or natural environment? How different are we from the nature we came from or move towards? How influential is nature when reflecting on my own existence and displacement? Am I running because I need to, want to, or because the slope of the mountain is far too steep for me to simply walk down?September 8, 2018 @ Literaturhaus. Halle, Germany

Rustenburgerstraat 385. I stayed and created works in this project space for three weeks and left an installation of works for the public to walk past and view from the street. This collection of small works are sketches and beginnings of a new direction for me and my art practice. With these works, I am exploring ideas of "study", environment, emotion, science, and material. The works I created while in this project space are inspired by botanical research and bits of conversation or observations between lovers. For more info visit: http://jetee.nl/agenda/

8 March 2018 | 7 pm
Location: Spinnerei Werkschau (hall 12)
The exhibition, on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the LIA residency, focuses on that which the artists, as cultural ambassadors, have taken with them on their journey, and from which they make visible fragmentarily in their Leipzig work - like sediments, deposits of substances; traces that remain after departing elsewhere. In their trans-cultural context, the artists' works become indicators of political, economic or ecological processes, operating as aesthetic speculations of further developments. The exhibition covers all mediums of contemporary art, and shows a selection of works from over 50 international awardees of the LIA program.

Group Show : Zeit und Geist Sept 4- Oct 1, 2015
133/141 West 21st Street, Ground FloorThe VCS Gallery is pleased to present “Zeit und Geist” an exhibition of recent works by graduates of the Visual and Critical Studies Department who were residents at the Leipzig International Art Program. Since 2010 the Department has selected one, and more recently two, graduating students to attend this prestigious program in Leipzig, Germany. Housed in the Spinnerei, once a cotton spinning factory, residents are given live/work spaces and the luxury to focus on their creative endeavors in a historic European urban environment.
"This residency was imperative. With unbounded time and space, I took everything I learned in college and slowly started to re-ask those questions that once drove my practice. I was able to come closer to an exactness of thought, between content, processes, and materials. I came back to NYC with a greater sense of purpose as to how and where I should take my painting practice. I will always remember my time in the residency with great happiness, especially the long working hours and conversations with then colleagues, and now close friends.” Angela Miskis
“It was scary and unexpected to move to a small town in Germany with no grasp of the language, no community, and no idea if any subsequent opportunities would come of it. But it was a chance to be in a place where I could work, and that was what mattered the most to me. That first residency with LIA ended up being the springboard for my entire professional life; it brought gallery representation in, and it made doing other residencies a possibility too.” Katie Armstrong
There will be a closing reception on October 1st, with a performance at 7:30 PM of In That Place (2015) by participating artist Katie Armstrong.
