Studio Marina Hulzenga
a spatial design and art studio
–
Specializing in exhibit and installation design, Studio Marina Hulzenga translates narrative and knowledge into a variety of immersive spaces through storytelling; inviting others to experience the celebration of histories, listen to the land and its people, and constantly engage the philosophical, conceptual, and social dialogues of our spatial surroundings. Absorbed in collecting and research as a means to creativity, the studio's work focuses on uncovering details and connections that challenge our spatial narratives. In both designing for clients or self-initiated projects, the studio values in depth research, being guided by process and activating conversation.

Title: The space in-between cultures: site-specific meeting places of Indigenous and European knowledges
Excerpt: “By examining the site- and land- specific installation artworks of Métis artist Tiffany Shaw-Collinge and Canadian artist Marina Hulzenga, the liminal may be discussed as a means for understanding how knowledge is produced in this space when different cultures encounter each other.”

HIVE India felt like a vessel, a vessel carefully hand thrown and beautifully crafted. With much hope, love and energy infused into its skin. But what filled this vessel was yet unknown. Its contents were only revealed by the coming together of the open consciousness of both the artists and the land we met with. The caring and curious energy created by the artists allowed for the exploration of new, even unformed ideas and offerings, giving great space to the present moment.
Curator’s residency vision: “The concept of the HIVE is to give the opportunity of Time to expand our resources, share in discoveries and generate vibrancy in our own work and those of each other. As we are all engaged in professional contexts and often in a production-based milieu one might find we are lacking in Time for genuine conversations and artistic experimentation and inquisitive exchange. The HIVE offers an environment of open source exchange through active research in a non-production atmosphere.”
