Two at 1014: Artists Annette Cords and Euridice Kala

Artists Annette Cords (“Delirious Disruptions”) and Villa Albertine Fellow Euridice Zaituna Kala in conversation about how urban spaces, architecture, and culture influence their art.

Both artists will present their work in relationship to cities - in particular New York City – before engaging in a conversation with each other and the audience.

Villa Albertine Fellow Euridice Kala was born in Mozambique and grew up in Johannesburg, South Africa where she studied photography. She later moved to Paris, France, where she works, teaches, and lives with her family.

Her work as a visual artist focuses on researching and highlighting the multiplicity of narratives from bygone eras to shed light on the hidden facets of history. Her pieces seek to develop an alternative viewpoint on historical accounts. Her work takes the form of installations, performances, images, objects, and books.

Annette Cords was born in Northern Germany, grew up in Hamburg, and moved to the United States to study painting at the University of Pennsylvania. She later moved to New York City, which she has been calling home for many years.

Her work spans diverse media, from painting and weaving to installation and sculpture. In her exhibition at 1014, she explored the possibilities of mark-making, examined writing systems and vernacular styles, and asked how we process and interpret visual information. Her Jacquard tapestries focus on the convergence of visual and textual languages, weaving urban findings into large-scale textile collages.

Creating work that incorporates architecture as well as urban culture, the two artist will discuss what cities mean to them and about discoveries they make in New York City today.

In collaboration with Villa Albertine.
