Guestbook (2019) Artist book, 240x170 mm, 52 pages, edition: 200. My new book Guestbook complements the outdoors installation Hotel Xenos in expanding on its themes of hospitality and cohabitation by mapping the birdlife of Soulangh Cultural Park and emphasising its mix of endemic, migratory and introduced species. It also functions as an easy resource for the park’s visitors who might simply be interested in exploring the local fauna. . . . . . #artistbooks #artistbook #artresidency #cohabitation #birdphotography #guestbook #parklife #artoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #petteryxell

Got my base cast today. For once, I’m not spending hours mixing the concrete myself, although there’s still plenty of gritty work in the pipeline. . . . . . #concrete #publicsculpture #plinths #workinprogress #artresidency #soulangh_cultural_park #artoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #petteryxell

I made a bamboo bird feeder. Not an artwork per se, but a nice way to familiarise myself with my material. . . . . . #bamboo #birdfeeder #artresidency #soulangh_cultural_park #artistsoninstagram #petteryxell

I’m on residency again, at the bucolic Soulangh Cultural Park in Tainan, Taiwan. This will be my beautiful studio for the next three months, where I’ll try to develop some work around multi-species cohabitation and post-anthropocentric architecture. . . . . . #soulangh_cultural_park #soulanghartistvillage #soulangh #artistresidency #studiosetup #artiststudio #contemporaryart #artistsoninstagram #petteryxell

In the downtime between residencies I’m slowly putting together a publication on birds that I photographed at Mustarinda residency in April. It goes under the name ‘The Winged Polity’. Here’s a short excerpt from Kestrel and Hawk owl. . . . . . #artistbook #birds #birdpoetry #birdpoems #cohabitation #artoninstagram #artistsoninstagram #contemporaryart #petteryxell
