Marte Kiessling has been building a hand-drawn archive of everything she owns since 2012. With the working title Archive: Lost and Found – All My Things, this body of work is re-modified constantly, and forms the base for a series of videos and installations. Kiessling will be illustrating her talk with images from her practice, and artist-archives that have influenced and inspired it, conceptually and formally. Kiessling will be MAWA's Artist in Residence November 4-28, 2014. While in Winnipeg, she will be researching systems of archives and their various presentations. www.martemarte.de
