Uli Golub

Portrait of artist Uli Golub, whose work explores migration and identity, wearing a dark shirt against a light background.

© Uli Golub

Uli Golub (*1990 in Kharkiv, Ukraine) lives and works in Oakland, California. She was born in Kharkiv, Ukraine, where she studied philology at the V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. In 2016, she completed her studies at the Rodchenko School of Photography and Multimedia in Moscow under the mentorship of artist Sergey Bratkov. Her artistic practice includes video, installation, performance, photography and mixed-media collages. Storytelling forms the basis of her work. Fascinated by speculative fiction, cosmism and futurism, the artist is interested in constructing narratives that inspire viewers to dream of possible new realities, relationships and the deconstruction of power dynamics. 
Uli Golub shows her work in exhibitions and screenings, including at the Folkwang Museum in Essen. In 2020, Uli Golub won the second special prize of the Pinchuk Art Center Prize and received the Emergency Grant from the Foundation For Contemporary Arts in Ukraine.

Hamminkeln

The Grand Snail Tour will be accompanied by literary, photographic and illustrative artists, who will collect impressions and reflections from the same city at the same time as the Trailer is there and put them into visual or literary form. The result is a paratext on the three-year tour, a travel chronicle in the form of a kaleidoscope of stories, connections and snapshots in the 53 cities of the region, revealing the simultaneities and non-simultaneities of the Grand Snail Tour.

Hamminkeln by Erdem Teper

so müssen wohl die bäume über die menschen denken, 
der mensch ist ewig damit beschäftigt 
versteht, dass alles und jeder irgendwo
eins ist 
versteht, dass alles –  liebt und lacht und lebt in frieden existiert; stoa
versteht, dass es ist – ebenbild 
wenn mensch findet sich selbst 
vor uralten baumrinden 
ein wesen schaut das andere an, 
am ende haben beide einander
und somit sich selbst erkannt 
beide aus gerüst, beide aus haut 
nur dass der baum im wald sich zutraut
zurecht, dass er den menschen überlebt; 
während die zeit bereits 
das leichentuch des menschen webt 
und der baum schaut den menschen an, 
beide aus haut, rinde und knochen 
nur hat der neue mensch 
seine beziehung zur natur unterbrochen
