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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

I am currently investigating the concept of environment and its influence on humankind between reality and virtual reality. I look at how vicarious living through the media influences the thoughts, perceptions, progress and understanding of our own selves in regard to what is happening simultaneously around us, and how our actions or mere observations are […]
Persijn Broersen & Margit Lukács
With a wide variety of media – most notably video, animation and graphics – Persijn Broersen and Margit Lukács produce a myriad of works that reflect on the ornamental characteristics of today’s increasingly virtual society. With video pieces that incorporate (filmed) footage, digital animation and images appropriated from the media, they demonstrate how reality, (mass) […]

I became a U.S. citizen during my last semester of university. Despite becoming a “dual citizen” and retaining my Romanian passport, the U.S. Naturalization Oath includes renouncing allegiances to all other entities. Through a range of processes and materials, I preserve and broadcast links to the cultures of my upbringing and birthplace. I confront the […]
