Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden 2021: New York based artist Anton Ginzburg will be the second scholar of Schaufler Residency@TU Dresden
Starting in January 2021, the New York artist Anton Ginzburg will begin his six-month residency at Technische Universität Dresden as the second fellowship recipient in the Schaufler Lab@TU Dresden’s artist-in-residence programme.
Anton Ginzburg‘s art encompasses a range of media: video, installation, sculpture, painting, and printmaking. The focus of his project at TU Dresden is an investigation of concepts of creativity and cultural labour in a historical context. Taking early modern methods of artistic practice and the legacy of 20th century modernist artistic vocabulary as a starting point, Ginzburg reflects on the current strategies of the technological mechanisation of work, such as machine learning, and their influence on contemporary artistic practices.
