Official Web Log: The Mapping of Joy and Pain
UM News: U of M professor's new public art project to map joy and pain in the Twin Cities
AV Club - Twin Cities: Artist Rebecca Krinke wants to put your joy, pain on display
Unseen/Seen: The Mapping of Joy and Pain, is a temporary traveling work of public art, visiting Minneapolis-St. Paul public parks and spaces this summer. Unseen/Seen challenges conventional ways of seeing the Twin Cities. The project creates the setting and the opportunity for the public to map where in Minneapolis/St. Paul they have experienced joy and pain. The project’s sculptural setting includes a unique table-like object that contains a custom map of Minneapolis-St. Paul. Using the setting/map is free and open to everyone, and participating in mapping is entirely voluntary. Members of the project team will be on hand in each location to talk with anyone interested about the project and invite them to add their experiences to the map.
Other parks and dates to be added in July and August. Please check back.

About Rebecca Krinke |
| |
Rebecca Krinke is a multimedia artist, working in sculpture, installations, and site art. In broad terms, her work deals with issues related to trauma and recovery. Trauma in individuals contributes to societal and environmental trauma. Krinke’s sculpture explores and embodies themes of trauma - using the body as a starting point - while her installations and site works have focused on ideas of recovery - through contemplative, transformative environments. Her published works have also investigated the trauma-recovery dialectic.
Krinke’s sculpture uses the physical body, the emotional body, the absent body, the animal body - and aspects of domestic objects and architecture to investigate and embody trauma. The bodies are porous, enmeshed, hybrids, or remnants - and adaptation processes (often unusual, thwarted, or unnatural) are visible. Memory and repression, the power of relationships, and the desire for change and the fear of change fuel this work.
The installations and site works explore ideas of contemplation on the primordial - using elemental materials such as copper, water, and granite. These projects employ elemental geometry and often transform archetypal forms and objects such as tables, walls, and doors.
Currently, Krinke is producing a body of work called The Place to Share Beauty and Fear, which inchudes objects, installations, public art and participatory events. This series works with themes of trauma and recovery within the same piece.
Krinke holds degrees in fine arts (sculpture) and landscape architecture. Her artistic practice and research is a hybrid one, synthesizing research, theory, methodologies and materials from multiple disciplines; she teaches in the Department of Landscape Architecture at the University of Minnesota. |
