Artist

Saida Alkhulaifi

Saida Alkhulaifi’s work explores the theme of time within the context of recent memory, emotions and objects’ connection to human behavior. She examines the notion of time through layering and added text, investigating different surfaces and mediums, experimental photography, and where all of these exist in time and space.

Saida Alkhulaifi has exhibited work at GlogauAIR, Berlin; Fire Station – Qatar Museums; and at Qatar-USA 2021 Year of Culture, among others.

This art work is by saida alkhulaifi. It is part of "tomorrow" series documenting recent memories of places and people while thinking of the future and what it could entail.

This art work is by saida alkhulaifi. It is part of "tomorrow" series documenting recent memories of places and people while thinking of the future and what it could entail. 35 mm film was used to capture the moment. the image was later printed on photo paper and fabric in which thread was used to write the word "bukra" meaning tomorrow. The artist uses layering to mimic the complexity of the human brain and how thoughts and memories are complex and overlapping.

Artist

Alchemyverse

Alchemyverse was founded in 2020 in New York City by artists Bicheng Liang (b. 1994, China) and Yixuan Shao (b. 1996, China/United States). As a duo, they construct visual and aural assemblages, working across disciplines of installation, print, sound, sculpture, and photography. Focusing on research and experimentation, their hybrid practice resonates with macro-environmental concerns and human dislocation of space, leading them to places such as Oahu and Moa Kea in Hawaii, the American Southwest, the Hudson Highlands, and the Chilean deserts.

Alchemyverse has exhibited work at Bishop Museum, Honolulu; The Catherine Fosnot Art Gallery and Center, New London; and Lenfest Center for the Arts, Columbia University, New York City, among others.

The work features collages of cyanotype photographs taken in the American Southwest, multichannel field recordings, and objects collected within the land on three suspended wooden panels.
Alchemyverse, Stir, Full of, Abounding In, 2021, cyanotypes collage, dead plant, pit-fired wild clay fragment, rocks, 8-channel specialized sound, transducers, and other mixed media, 120 × 84 × 3 in. (304.8 × 213.36 × 7.62 cm).
Left Without the Means to Move uses the ephemerality of sound and porousness of space to adapt to the viewers’ presence and creates an interactive soundscape as a constant search for balance. The materiality of the landscape slowly unfolds within and around the dome-shaped assemblage of sound recordings of making the ceramics in the wilderness, extracted soil, and pit-fired sandstone-molded sculptures.
Alchemyverse, Left Without The Means To Move, 2021, lava rocks, anodized aluminum, bone conductors, pit-fired wild clay and sound recorded within, desert soil, amplified microphones, speakers, subwoofers, and other mixed media, 204 × 204 × 180 in. (518.16 × 518.16 × 457.2 cm).
With the whole work's structure supported by salvaged rocks and plywood scraps, we explore how a construction of the fragmented brings the multitude of functionalities, identities, and meanings together, and us into proximity with such process.
Alchemyverse, Untitled, 2021-22, rocks, ceramics, bronze, dead plants, living moss, sand, films, cyanotypes, scores, 3D carved photo, turntable, trace light box, digital projectors, lamps, and other mixed media.
In 2021, a record number of snowstorms blanketed the northeast regions of the US, due to rising temperature in the atmosphere which fuels the storms. At the time, we were traveling along the Hudson Valley, hiking in knee-high snow and crouching over frozen riverbank to chase aluminum sheets into the shapes of the rocks. What we thought as a simple gesture of conforming to the land was met with great resistance from the environment.
Alchemyverse, 隙/ At Intervals, 2020-21, earth and fire on aluminum sheets, 72 × 96 × 36 in. (182.88 × 243.84 × 91.44 cm).
Consisting of thirty-one cyanotype photographs and twelve-channel spatialized recordings made using salvaged materials, Bleikr explores a poetic avenue toward a non-anthropocentric scale of time --- one that expresses itself no longer in terms of hours and minutes, but in the forms in the textures, shadows, and sounds of the environment.
Alchemyverse, Bleikr, 2020, mounted cyanotypes, sounds, and transducers, 108 × 120 in. (274.32 × 304.8 cm).
