Andrea Nhuch in Residency
November 2024



Andrea Nhuch, a multidisciplinary visual artist based in Los Angeles, joined Co-Making Matters for a two-week residency that culminated in a public presentation during the Ko-Markt at Haus der Statistik on November 9th.

Working across sculpture, installation, and performance, Nhuch’s practice centers around the entangled relationships between the human and non-human in what she defines as a “contaminated world.” Acknowledging that we live in a post-remediation era, her work embraces speculation on posthuman futures and proposes collaboration with contamination as a form of adaptation and survival. Drawing from her background in the beauty industry, Nhuch interrogates the kinship between chemicals and bodies—human, animal, environmental—positioning her artistic practice within the realms of resilience, toxicity, and transformation.

During her time at Co-Making Matters, Andrea developed the first iteration of the Eco-Anxiety Buro, an experimental contamination counseling office. This initiative, presented on Saturday, November 9th, invited visitors to engage in one-on-one and collective encounters addressing the emotional and ecological complexities of life in a chemically saturated world.

Under the title “Contamination Counseling Bureau”, Nhuch activated the space as a performative installation, offering eco-anxiety therapy sessions in which participants were invited to reimagine co-existence with waste. Through guided dialogue and material-based exploration, the artist opened conversations around consumption cycles, disposal practices, and the often-unacknowledged agency of non-human forces. Her project proposed a shift from shame and despair toward resilience and symbiotic contamination.
