🥁 …please welcome the second objkt labs Residency cohort! ▪️@Merzmensch ▪️ @_pixellare ▪️ @OriginalGoldCat ▪️ @Olga_f2727 ▪️ @paranoidhill ▪️ @adhd143 ▪️ @Rabbunnitt ▪️ @vandaloruins ▪️ @omgidrawedit ▪️ @RebeccaRose ▪️ @AugursNFT ▪️ @chepertom ▪️ @Simulacroo ▪️ @Micah_Alhadeff ▪️ @alexmayarts Let’s kick things off!

This year I already got to meet the lovely @madebyoona and @loackme_, take part in objkts art residency with @postanika and @BorisEldagsen and @kevinabosch, and I got my first ever solo exhibition (still running)! It's easy to forget the amazing things that happen here.

The @objktlabs residency prompted me to rethink how I present my practice, and that led me to completely rebuild my website. It is now a clearer home for my work, writing, and exhibitions, and much easier to navigate. I’ve also moved away from WordPress entirely and rebuilt it as a lightweight static site using Astro, GitHub, and plain HTML. alexmayarts.co.uk

It’s safe to say the number one recommendation from objkt labs Residency mentors and guest speakers is this: get in touch with curators and writers, share your work, keep them posted, and don’t get discouraged if you don’t get a response.

I had a great time this week with the second cohort of the @objktlabs residency. They did not shy away from the tasks of writing artist texts—a lifelong practice of communicating most concisely who you are, what you make and why you make it. 🫶 Great work, you all!

The theme: Obey / Resist I had the honor of showing Before Judgement from my recent collection Neutral Until Proven Otherwise. My work isn’t about either one, but about what happens in between. The quiet adjustments. The negotiations you don’t always notice. 3.21.26 At @beeple Studios, curated by @OBEYGIANT View the collection below

I am so excited: just acquired my first physical painting! Tysm @paranoidhill for sharing your catalogue with me and accepting my offer 💎✨ Me as top buyer on objkt , not a sight we will see so soon again... 😅

@margaretonline @OriginalGoldCat @objktlabs Great session yesterday Margaret! Already applying your insight across multiple channels, your words lifted the cloud in front of my eyes.

As much as my art practice is a journey of self discovery I still have difficulty putting it into words. Something I'm glad the art residency by @objktlabs by @postanika explores! What has been your impression? Would love to hear how you perceive it.

Learning to trust myself and take in all the support and love everyone has given me has led me here. Never in a million years would I think I’d see my art in room full of @beeple and @OBEYGIANT artwork. Thank you for the love everyone and the opportunity to showcase here.

There was something deeply reassuring after this session with @margaretonline at the @objktlabs residency on how to communicate more clearly with your audience. I’ve always felt I struggle to write or explain myself, about my art, or even on making it slightly engaging, mostly because I wanted the work to speak for itself. Today’s talks made me realize how much I actually enjoy discussing and think about it. Even though I get nervous when speaking, mostly because it touches a vulnerable place of yourself, shifting the focus toward the background of your practice rather than trying to define what the artwork “is” opened a new direction for articulating the reasons behind what I do, or better said, why I do it. Thanks to everyone involved today 👏

So excited to meet the second cohort of the @objktlabs residency today! This week we will speak about how to tell your artist story—online, in bios, and the dreaded but crucial “elevator pitch.” See you all soon!

During his sessions with the objkt labs Residency artists, mentor @BorisEldagsen explored questions such as: Who am I, as a human and as an artist? What can I contribute? What drives me as an artist? What makes an image culturally relevant? Will it matter to audiences whether an AI agent or a human created the artwork?
