<\/p>\nHELLO, my name is, is the title of Juliana I. Smith’s installation for her final exhibition with MAPS, Master of Art in Public Sphere. The installation includes two video works, objects, and drawings mainly from performances she has done in public places. Juliana works with themes of chosen home (Wahlheimat), mobility, tourism and voluntary migration. Through MAPS, she had the opportunity to spend five months at Wits School of Arts in Johannesburg, South Africa. There she co-founded “Kazoo- it’s a live art thing” with Anthea Moys. They held their launch event last December at The Premises Gallery in
\nJohannesburg, and were the co-curators of Armed Response II at the Goethe-Insitut this past April. She recently had a video installation at the “6th International Symposium on the Aspects of Tourism”, at the
\nUniversity of Brighton. Juliana’s theoretical work focuses on the “resident” artist versus the “insider” artist in Johannesburg, and makes comparisons to Berlin and New York. How does a place and site affect artwork? In a global and cosmopolitan city like Johannesburg, loaded with a violent history, turbulent politics is one able to make artwork without reflecting the environment?<\/p>\n
