I create another scene using perceptual images to „re-experience“ a certain event or place. While motion pictures provide concrete images, and signify meaning (photographs are always photographs of something), I try to create an intersection between fiction and reality. Memory functions similarily to the way motion pictures „replay“ the “past“. It varies depending on when […]
Hazem Harb
Over the past few years Hazem Harb has developed a multifaceted practice, where he has worked with painting, video, drawing, sculpture and installation. His work pivots around examining and laying bare structures and apparatuses of power and hierarchies. Hazem has been preoccupied lately with questions around architecture and destruction: how and when does architecture cease […]
Jennifer Ling Datchuk
My work has always dealt with identity, with the sense of being in-between, an imposter, neither fully Chinese nor Caucasian. I have learned to live with the constant question about my appearance: “What are you?” I change my response depending on my hair, make-up, clothes, what I am doing, where I am or what I […]
Chih-Chien Wang
My practice dedicates to a process for the approximation of understanding reality ranging from the construction of meanings, identities, memories and emotions yet examining the essence of art making. Such process is to look for ways to define but not to result in conclusion, and it suggests multiple attempts rather than fixed strategies to introduce […]
Aline Alagem
In my large scale paintings and video animation work, images of passion, beauty, pain, porn, taste, memory and identity, inspire me to explore the gap between their appearance as images, and their original DNA or motivation. I want to touch the sensation of the constant and emptied climax, with the ongoing lack of catharsis that […]
Dan Stockholm
Using a mix of studio and field praxis Dan Stockholm utilizes a method of creative archeology that involves traveling, researching and the collecting of various materials. Stockholm is drawn to and explores places, architecture and materials of historical value, tension and even conflict. Interested in various approaches to working with site-specificity, Stockholm investigates this genre […]
Juei Hsien Hsu (Ruey Shiann Shyu)
Ruey Shiann Shyu is a mediator between the realms of humanity and technology. Through his constantly rhythmic constructs, he makes us feel at ease, allowing our inner feelings and deep-seated memories to rise to the surface. What we opt to do with them once they arise is up to us, just as we won’t know […]
Tatiana Macedo
Most of my work starts with the capturing of sound and images (moving and still), resulting from my immersion in a certain reality or context. It is multi-situated as a whole, or better yet: it sits at the border, detached but intimate. If I place myself inside an institution, I work from within in order […]
Sabina Timmermans
Human beings entertain an ambivalent relationship with nature. On the one hand, nature is an idealized and mythical appearance in the desire of man, which arouses his wanderlust. On the other hand, he wants to control and frame it to make his life more bearable. Sabina Timmermans reflects on this relationship in her paintings. She […]
Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson
The artist type divined from Sveinn Fannar Jóhannsson’s work – always laboriously preened for capture – is an impassive one. A book featuring portraits of Jóhannsson taken by waiters acts as a self-conscious contemplation of this parasitical figure. It can be a strain to be waited on, if you are attuned to how the procuring […]
