Susan Meyerhoff Sharples in residence at Ars Electronica Linz

During her period of residence at Atelierhaus Salzamt, Austria, Susan Meyerhoff Sharples was awarded a residency at the Ars Electronica Center in Linz July 2010. Ars Electronica Center was opened in 1996 and specialises in the artistic dimension of the digital age, presenting projects at the interface of media art, technology, design and science. The building is a glass cube situated at the side of the Danube which at night transforms into a coloured crystal illuminated by 40,000 light-emitting diodes that reflect a spectrum of colour across the river.

Susan spent her time working in the ‘FabLab’, experimenting with their unique desktop programmes linked to cutting edge fabrication equipment. She was supported by their extremely knowledgeable and helpful assistant who explained the possibilities of the fantastic equipment housed within the ‘FabLab’ where she took this wonderful opportunity to further develop her drawings and metal sculptures through the medium of card and Plexiglas.

Urban Interventions - Partners visit Liverpool

International Partners from the Urban Interventions project met in Liverpool in September 2010. POST took part in the residency opportunity offered by the programme at Atelierhaus Salzamt in mid-2010, and this visit was a chance for POST to build on the international connections afforded by this programme.

The partners visited the workspaces of Susan Meyerhoff Sharples in Elevator Studios and Amanda Oliphant and Cecilia Kinnear at 36 Seel Street, alongside visits to Static, The Co-operative and Royal Standard.
