Antonia Luxem

Antonia Luxem relocated to Margate when she joined Open School East, where she continued to work mainly with video, sound and painting.
During term 2 and culminating in a residency and exhibition at LIMBO, Margate, she focused on her research into human visual and temporal perception, creating Monkey Brain, a video installation which explores the disconnection between the workings of the inner mind and our external selves.
During term 3, and in preparation for Gut Feelings, the year’s final show, Antonia delved into an area new to her practice – queer art. As a reaction to the invisible and yet prevalent and often violent homophobia within our society, she made a video installation which was an address to the close and homophobic person.
Antonia collaborated with fellow Associates Sarah Karen and Dipesh Pandya on developing Thoughts on Space, a series of talks, workshops and events exploring our perceptions of internal and external space – how we form an identity in space, how we react to space, and how each individual defines space.
Antonia also collaborated with some of the Associates to create Feedback for the Art Licks weekend in London, giving free feedback to any submitted artwork, writing and failed proposals, with the aim to allow everyone access to critical exchange.
