Artist Statement
Bara would like other parents to identify with the impact that children can have on their lives or offer would-be parents a unique insight into an experience of first-time parenting. Her work is also a love letter of sorts to her main inspiration, her son, as the work she creates is not only about him but for him.
The short film “Matyas” is inspired by a Czech fairy tale “Otesanek” written by Karel Jaromir Erben. The Czech folk tale from the nineteenth century talks about a living, constantly hungry, wooden log which eats its mother and its father and then continues eating other people. The end of this enormous eating is brought about by an old lady working in the fields who cuts through its wooden stomach and all the people jump out alive.
“Matyas”, the story of the all-consuming nature of maternal love, talks about a single mother who is not unhappy but very tired. The mother struggles with her constantly hungry baby who, in an addition to the original folk tale, never sleeps.
The mother grows desperate as she tries to feed the baby with everything she can find in their home. Her milk is not enough, nor is porridge, fruit or vegetables. She gives him pork and chicken meat but nothing helps. Nothing she can find fills the baby, and he constantly cries and doesn’t sleep. Finally, after over 300 sleepless nights, the mother finds a solution to this constantly growing hunger. She takes a long shower and prepares herself: she shaves her legs and armpits, she washes her hair, she brushes her teeth, all so she can be clean and ready for her baby. She has, once and for all, realised how to fulfil her baby’s insatiable hunger.

Artist Statement
As an artist, I am intrigued by the materiality of the flesh and believe it to function as a microcosm that points to various aspects of the immaterial human experience. Years before ever becoming a parent, I was already fascinated by the spiritual and cosmic significance of the human belly button and its relationship to the creative act. As a child I pulled at mine, trying to flip it inside out. Years later, as a graduate student, I poured plaster into it regularly, making castings of its negative space. The belly button is the first mark that life leaves on the body; it is a scar that points to our origins.
Many creation myths describe our world as originating from a central point. The Greek term omphalos (navel) can refer to various symbolic centers that are believed to connect the earthly and divine. Just as the human belly button marks our connection to (and inevitable separation from) our mothers, these so-called navels of the world are often associated with myths of cosmic origin, functioning as physical markers of the very sites at which our earth was supposedly born into existence. This symbolism can be found across cultures and religions: ziggurats, temples, holy mountains, the tree of life, and more.
I’m excited and inspired by the navel, umbilical cord, and placenta as both site and symbol of the simultaneity that is embedded in the human experience. Questions of origin and existence are constantly shaping how I think about my creative work, and my belief is that the work of the artist, and perhaps especially the mother artist, is primarily ontological. Just as the human belly button marks both a connection to and a separation from our physical origins, the work that I make points to a similar simultaneity of opposites, referencing the body’s attraction and repulsion but also the immaterial void of human longing in us all.
Before becoming a mother, I thought of attachment and separation as psychologies experienced by the child. I didn’t realize until experiencing it firsthand that, not unlike the blood circulating through the placenta, these psychologies very much go both ways. I’ve been thinking a lot about this entanglement and have been working it out in a recent body of work. At times I imagine vividly that my daughter and I are still connected by this cord. It’s a tug of war. Often, I tug at the cord, longing for my independence from her, and more often than not, she tugs to bring me closer, unwilling to let me exist apart from her.

About
MATERNAL FANTASIES is an evolving and interdisciplinary group of international artists and cultural producers based in Berlin, Germany. We (re)connected in 2018 to share experiences and insights into the most marginalised topic within both the art world and feminist discourse: Motherhood.
We join forces to embrace, discuss, elaborate and express contrasting experiences and family stories, memories, fantasies, desires and horror scenarios related to ‘Maternal Fantasies’.
Currently we meet every three-weeks to examine through artistic research, collaborative artworks and lived experience the dynamics between artistic creation and motherhood seeking to shape the discourse of motherhood through our artistic working process.
We are an organic group that produces works in different constellations between the individual group members.
Current group members are: Aino El Solh, Hanne Klaas, Isabell Spengler, Lena Chen, Magdalena Kallenberger, Maicyra Leão, Melanie Schlachter, Mikala Hyldig Dal, Olga Sonja Thorarensen, Sandra Moskova.

Artist Statement
<p class="p1">I’ve been a working artist, curator, community activist and teacher for more than 25 years, creating and producing intimate solo performances, large-scale public happenings, socially engaged interventions and performance art workshops and lectures. My practice extends across black boxes and white cubes, art fairs and subway stations, international festivals, and single bathroom stalls. I’ve operated an artist-run newsstand in a vacant subway station kiosk, a soup kitchen for artists, a breast milk tasting bar, and a performance festival hub for kids. I’m forever inspired by the rebel queers, renegade witches, and other dyke moms I run with, and bound to many brilliant artists, activists, spell-casters and healers. <span class="s1">For many years I made performances that drew from my own experiences of trauma and transformation, intimacy and motherhood. More recently, I’ve experienced a shift in my practice, where my attention has turned to wider theoretical questions about the nature of performance itself to </span>ask questions about when, where, how we perform - in theatres and galleries, on social media, and in our everyday lives.</p>

Curatorial Statement
<p>Guests are invited to celebrate the opening of the exhibition <em>An Intimate Portrait of Motherhood </em>with a reception on Tuesday, March 1 at 4:00 PM. Both the reception and the exhibition are free and open to the public.</p>
<p>This exhibition forces the viewer to confront the sensual, intimate nature of breastfeeding and the physical mother-child relationship. Through photography and video, these two artists use the lens to examine and cope with the physical, emotional and mental complexities of the mother’s body. Katie Doyle’s work gives the audience a vantage point so close they feel as if they’re seeing from inside her, while her son suckles and consumes milk or entangles his soft limbs in hers. Ogier-Bloomer’s photographs utilize a frank, unapologetic voice shared between image-maker and subject: whether she appears in the image with her daughter, her mother, or from behind the camera. Both artists examine this unique maternal communication based in touch—a language without words, rooted in biology and the senses.</p>
<p>Raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, Anna Ogier-Bloomer holds an MFA in Photography & Related Media from Parsons School of Design, where she was awarded the Photography Department Prize in 2011. Shereceived her BFA from The School of The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, where she was the recipient of the Yousuf Karsh Prize in Photography and a Dean's Travel Grant. Ogier-Bloomer has exhibited at galleries and museums nationally, including the Bridge Art Fair in Miami/Basel, The Contemporary Art Center in Cincinnati, The Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and at the Attleboro Arts Museum in Massachusetts. She has received grants from Chashama in New York, the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, and CSArts Cincinnati. Anna has been an adjunct Assistant Professor at the City University of New York. She currently lives in New York City and travels often for her work.</p>

Curatorial Statement
<p><em>New Maternalisms Redux</em> is the third and last in the <em>New Maternalisms</em> exhibition series (following Toronto 2012 and Santiago 2014). It features five artists drawn from the first two exhibitions: Lenka Clayton, Jess Dobkin, Alejandra Herrera, Courtney Kessel, & Jill Miller. The work of these artists represents a spectrum of experience; it includes queer and straight identified mothers, single and partnered mothers, mothers of differently abled children, mothers of twins and singletons, and a represents range of race/class/economic privilege. This range of positionalities inflects the performance and project-based work presented here -- work that investigates the maternal iteratively, as a political and affective force. Considered individually and together, these works engage with one another and the public, drawing the community into important conversations around what it means to mother, as a non-reductive, thinking-feeling and political practice, today.</p>
<p><em>A three-day colloquium, <a href="http://www.newmaternalisms.com/colloquium-overview/">Mapping the Maternal: Art, Ethics, and the Anthropocene</a>, is being held in conjunction with the exhibition, with participants drawn from the most prominent voices on feminist art and the maternal today. The keynote presentation is being delivered by internationally recognized feminist theorist and art historian, Dr. Griselda Pollock. This colloquium, open to the public, brings crucial thinking on the anthropocene and anthropogenic climate change together with thinking on the maternal as metaphor, practice, and politics. </em><em>Accompanying the exhibition there will be a film screening at Edmonton’s <a href="http://www.metrocinema.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Metro Cinema at the Garneau Theater</a> (3:30 pm on May 13th). The screening features two shorts, <a href="http://sheenawilson.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Sheena Wilson’s</a> PetroMama and <a href="http://ginamiller.ca/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gina Miller’s</a> Family Tissues, and a full-length screening of <a href="http://www.artistparentindex.com/items/show/295" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Irene Lusztig’s </a>award-winning <a href="http://motherhoodarchives.net/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Motherhood Archives</a>.<br /></em></p>

Artist Statement
I develop artwork through dialogue, process based, participatory and collaborative practice. I investigate the way we connect and communicate with others and ultimately how it contributes to the quality of our lives. I am looking at the role of the artist in society and questioning how “useful” the role of art can be when entering into different areas. My work has frequently combined education, research and artistic practice. My visual research consists of screen print, digital images and photography, slides and video experiments. I have been using video in both documentary and performance based formats, combining live action with static projections, improvisation and language. <br /><br />I am currently Artist in Residence in UCD College of Health Sciences where I am the principle investigator on a research team with a midwifery lecturer Dr. Maria Healy (UCD) and midwife, Teresa McCreery based at the National Maternity Hospital, Holles Street. Together we are working on the research initiative: An interpretive phenomenological study: Illuminating childbirth experiences of women attending a midwife-led service via visual art works. Insights from this research will highlight women’s lived experiences of childbirth vis visual artworks and academic publications. The final artworks will be included in the UCD Health Sciences Library in book format as an educational tool alongside academic books.

<div> </div>
<div><span>The first <em>New Maternalisms</em> exhibition asked: Forty years after the intervention of feminist art, what is the experience of the daughters of that era who have become mothers? </span><span>What are the discursive and material differences between early maternal artworks of the 1970s and those being produced in the first two decades of the 21st century? How might a return to the discourses that shaped the birth of feminist art help reshape how to think about the contours of political and activist art in today's cultural climate? </span><span>Grounded in these questions, this exhibition brought together a group of artist who use performance to bring attention to the embodied, biological, and material enmeshment of early maternal practice in the context of feminist art theory and practice today.</span></div>
<div> </div>
<div><span>This second iteration of </span><span>New Maternalisms</span><span> was a co-curation with the Chilean curator Soledad Novoa. It brought together North American and European artist (curated by Loveless) with Chilean artists (curated by Novoa) to stage an international conversation on the status of the maternal in contemporary art. These works reflect the expressed need of many artists to find creative ways to integrate their practices as mothers, artists, curators, writers and teachers. By taking seriously the need to create from local conditions and materials, these practices give visibility and value to motherhood </span><span>in</span><span> art and </span><span>as</span><span> art.</span></div>
