Céline Burnand

My work comprises charcoal drawings and videos that investigate analogies between different times, places, and personas, seeking out group attitudes or patterns that reveal parallel psychological or emotional states across diverse cultural settings. Aby Warbug has theorized what he calls the “pathos formula,” an age-old theme that either lingers or reappears in later societies. For […]

I want to understand the intersection between my personal journey into my body to release childhood trauma and the cultural journey to heal the violence of genocide, slavery, and forced migration. Trauma heaped on bodies. What keeps us from connection, wholeheartedness, compassion? Legal scholar and activist Dr. Isabelle Gunning says, „Know your history; know the […]

In 2006, he withdrew his study because of a serious illness after his trip back from India. He begins to reconsider the meaning of life, then turn to the decision […]

Stijn Ank

Ank’s body of work can be considered as an extensive research into the relationship between matter and void and the various ways in which contemporary sculpture can be defined in relation to its surrounding space. He creates a mold with a variety of materials marking off the boundaries of a certain chosen space, which he […]

I am half Puerto-Rican and half Filipino, but was never taught Spanish or Tagalog respectively. Because of this, I’ve always experienced language as a kind of landscape of sounds first. The language that I have been constructing, Spaundou (pronounced “SPAWN-doo”) is a way of recreating this experience for the audience. Through a mix of music, […]

Lyndal Walker

Lyndal Walker’s work investigates the construction of images, gender roles and our relationship to time. Fashion, as reference, subject matter and context has been important to her practice although her work emerges out of an ambivalent relationship to consumer culture.  She is fascinated by our voraciousness but also finds it deeply morbid. While she has […]

Shubigi Rao

„Meine Interessen reichen von veralteten Wissenschafts- und Geschichtsmodellen über Archäologie und Neurowissenschaften bis hin zu Sprache, Bibliotheken und Mechanismen von kulturellem Völkermord. Ob ich nun archäologische Archive aus Müll kreiere, Bedienungsanleitungen für den Aufbau einer Nation schreibe, seltsame Formen urbanen Unwohlseins diagnostiziere, bei denen digitale Schuppen und Pixelstaub das zeitgenössische Gehirn vernebeln, unsterbliche Quallen baue […]

Julia Barbosa Landois

Ich arbeite mit Performance, Installation und Video, um anhand von Tropen der Popkultur und schwarzem Humor heikle Themen wie Religion, Gender und Sexualität zu untersuchen. Singen spielt eine wichtige Rolle in meinem Leben und in meinen aufgezeichneten Performances. Dabei werden bekannte Songstrukturen neu arrangiert und kontextualisiert, um Probleme wie Schwangerschaft und Sexarbeit im Grenzgebiet zwischen […]

In meinen Installationen lasse ich mich meist vom Geheimnis der Bilder und weniger von einer linearen Erzählungsweise oder Logik leiten. Auf der Suche nach Bildereignissen gehen die Arbeiten aus einem langen Kondensationsprozess hervor. Für mich hat Sehen vor allem mit unterschiedlichen Leseabständen zu tun, sowie mit der Kristallisation von bildlich-räumlicher Syntax- daher mein fast naiver […]
