Introducing Artists in Residence

Ayoung Yu, Nicholas Oh, and Mitch Blummer are a collaborative team working across performance, ceramic sculpture, site-specific installation, and film. Their ongoing project, “Blood Memory”, is a performance-based film exploring the relationship between eco-poetry, spirituality, and land. Drawing from East Asian cosmologies and Christian mysticism, their site-responsive film frames nature as a living archive. At Skaftfell, they will film new performances in response to Seyðisfjörður’s glacial landscape—dragging clay across volcanic rock, circling meltwater pools with salt, choreographing sacred dance, and arranging ceramic relics amidst moss beds and tidal channels as site-specific altar spaces. Their work has been exhibited at The Shed (U.S.); Bronx Museum of the Arts (U.S.); Museum of Arts and Design (U.S.); and Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University (U.S.); with forthcoming presentations at the Carpenter Center for Visual Arts at Harvard University (U.S.) and Stedelijk Museum Schiedam (The Netherlands).
