Kanako Hayashi
In her performative driven work, Kanako Hayashi gathers historical traces and fragments of memory in urban space by intervening directly with architecture and space through actions and setups in an attempt to render visible the invisible. Hayashi`s practice is marked by intense training experience in competitive swimming and synchronized swimming during her teenage years. The […]
Wu Chuan-Lun
The artist is fascinated by the phenomena that blur the boundaries between nature and civilization in current era, using versatile media such as CG, found objects and photographic. One of the context are animals in unnatural or human’s perspectives — such as taxidermy left behind from the Japanese Occupation Era, pictures of humans kissing animals, […]
Irina Birger
Growing up in the Soviet Union, I experienced the powerful mechanisms of propaganda that repress independent thought and inquiry. Its methods were not just practical, but also extremely visual. Social Realist style and Stalinist Imperial architecture greatly influenced my artistic development. Their monumental arrangements inspire admiration, humility and wonder, similar to the visual impact of […]
Emilija Škarnulytė
Emilija Škarnulytė´s work consists of a series of politically active visions, in which she investigates reality with a political and poetic approach. She explores questions of the beginning of the universe in relation to the geological ungrounding processes, invisible structures, geo-traumas and deep time. Her films look into a relation between art and science and […]
Igor Ruben Jesus
Igor Jesus’ formation in sculpture led him to create questions related to space, objects and also about the dimension of language by the word or the text. The artist makes use of objects, that come from exchanges with other people, in order to work their recontextualization. More than the materials is the context that interests […]
Åsa Cederqvist
Cederqvist’s practice spans over film, sculpture, textiles and performance, proposing a spatial experience, embodiment and activism. Her works often suggests a layered narrative and a strong sense of transformation, as if they were in a constant making – the recent series of works Gestures and Gaps (2015) being a good example of this. Presently she’s working with […]
Oscar Enberg
In Oscar Enberg’s work multiple (often prototypical) characters and storylines from film, literature, art and social histories, are abstracted and synthesized into sculpture. In recent projects, Enberg has explored the role that chance, risk and luck plays in economic systems. Narratives of speculation, boom and bust, how fortunes are made and lost, are mined for […]
Jesse Amado
When I settle into the practice of art, past and current, the one conceit that persistently unfolds is the desire to investigate the arc of the transmutation. This reflects my keen interest in the zeitgeist and the inherent dynamic qualities it posses that address the trends and thoughts of particular periods of time. My work […]
Kama Sokolnicka
Poetic and emotional burden of materials I use, transpose the mental subject matter into physical objects to highlight the value placed between individual experience and socially coated expectations, their dark or comic setbacks. By playing with a regime of between-the-two and too shallow clarifies, my work partly consists on the terms of ambivalence and disappointment. […]
Esther Hovers
Recurrent in my work are the themes ‘control’ and ‘power’. I approach these as a conceptual documentary photographer. Within the theme of ‘control’ there are two different elements that fascinate me. On the one hand, my work deals with the ways in which control is exerted within public space. When does architecture constitute an expression of power? How do […]
