Manuel Stehli
Manuel Stehli’s paintings center around landscape and human interaction. The references used are often seemingly trivial moments which, at the same time, have the potential of turning into something archetypal through the process of painting. In other works the reverse takes place: A dramatic, loaded image may become compromised as it gets worked over, eventually […]
Zahra Rashid
Real Time, Paper Time Once is never enough. That’s Zahra Rashid’s take on representation. Printing – with its series – would appear to be the logical choice for her medium. Yet Rashid prefers drawing, video and installation, which tend to be unique. Even if a video can be copied, most projections are singular apparitions – […]
Kanako Ishii
Kanako Ishii’s interest lays in the analysis of metaphysical borders such as past – present, remembered – forgotten or presence – absence. She calls these metaphysical borders “grey sensations”. Metaphorically, she senses these borders as grey nuances. Even though achromatic colours like grey are usually seen as a composition of black and white, Ishii regards […]
Theodoros Stamatogiannis
Theodoros’ work explores the intersection of sculpture and architecture by introducing physical, social or psychological interventions and sculptures. Using architectural components such as awnings, floors, doors, windows or other architectural objects, processes and materials like modified bituminous sheeting , he perturbs the way that we use or perceive these elements. Theodoros’ most recent practice focuses […]
Guglielmo Castelli
Guglielmo Castelli’s painting reveals an hybrid and subtly violent iconographic universe, where bodies and objects ceaselessly merge one into another. Human figures — investigated in both their physical and mental extension — are the subject of his representation, while space is his experimental field. Castelli questions the relation between inner and outer space, between bowels […]
Jared Theis
The past four years I have been building a type of mythology that follows a group of characters through time and various stages of evolution. These investigations are realised through video, animation, performance and sculpture. I’m particularly interested in vulnerability and how organisms adapt to their surroundings. These creatures are driven by primal instincts and […]
Hannah Anbert
In her recent works Hannah Anbert has been particularly interested in the way political economy interferes with social relations. Career Cabaret (2017), consisting of two scenographies including props and costumes, stages labour work as the choreography for society. In Sacred Work (2016), the critical reflection on capitalist work society takes the shape of a fashion collection of working and […]
Vartan Avakian
Dust is soil, pollen and burnt meteorite particles. Dust is also hair, tears, blood, sweat and shed skin cells. Sites of history are heavy with dust. They attract us with the weight of this dust, this debris. Vartan Avakian uses biological debris as the material foundation of his sculptural works. He makes artefacts that propose an understanding […]
Ato Ribeiro
My research mines through and honors a variety of shared and neglected histories in order to visually speak to my contemporary sense of cultural hybridity. As taught through the Adinkra symbol of Sankofa (meaning to return and retrieve it), the interests behind my creative practice stem from an urge to bridge my West African heritage […]
