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.

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.”

The Canadian Wilderness Artist Residency was a unique and immersive artistic experience that took place on the Yukon River from Whitehorse to Dawson City. Along with nine other artists and two guides, we embarked on a canoeing adventure in the Canadian north, exploring this territories’ natural and cultural histories and stories through the lens of art. For 17 days we paddled the Yukon River, camping on its banks and creating the most incredible artistic experience; collecting inspiration, building creative relationships, collaborating on many on-site projects, and learning the many lessons the River graciously had to share.
Also presented an artist talk as part of the Riverside Arts Festival at the end of the canoe journey in Dawson City.

Location: Sioux Narrows-Nestor Falls, ON, Canada
During this self-directed artist residency, my focus was on researching and creating a collection of colours emanating from the surrounding landscape/stories of Sioux Narrows - Nestor Falls, Ontario. The work space was located in a tiny studio floating on the water of the Lake of the Woods.
