Steven Jouwersma
Steven Jouwersma’s practice examines music culture in different parts of the world and intervenes local music scenes by organizing events, creating installations with musicians, initiating new bands or leading a minuscule music venue. His work is shaped by a social process and cannot typically be characterized by its material or medium, but by a process-related […]
Ramiro Guerreiro
Ramiro Guerreiro’s work explores the relationship between the body, space and architecture. His site-specific installations and works integrate a wide range of practices from drawing and performance to photography, video and printed matter such as posters and artist’s books. In addition to these, he has also been working with, and starting from, documentary objects. Guerreiro’s […]
Bodil Furu
Bodil Furu’s films employ the language of documentary realism to move beyond documentation and into narrative territory. They combine timeless humanistic questions with current concerns relating to globalisation and the mediation of reality, often examining landscapes that do not appear untouched or neutral, but are shaped by territorial behaviour and social conflicts. Furu’s current project, […]
Thérèse Mastroiacovo
My practice is about the precarious relationship art has to its own definition – open, half open or slightly open for re-organisation at any given time. These varying degrees of openness create spaces that give way to meanderings, processes and procedures. My work is situated there, in moments where active forms of viewing create circumstances […]
Patrik Elgström
The studio serves as a starting point of my works, as the hub of the story. I map and explore Berlin in a series of walks through the city’s historical centre of power. Past the areas that form another Berlin. The space between the houses and buildings. Space that represents a pause while waiting to […]
Olaf Brzeski
Olaf Brzeski’s artistic narrative could begin like this: ‘In the beginning was the subject’ – meaning a distinct, virtually modernist, authorial Self. The question whether such a construed, ostentatiously individualistic subject is not perhaps a reactionary figure is better left to those who like to judge art in terms of progress. Defying the logic of […]
Chris Sauter
Drawing from varied sources such as architecture, history, science, agriculture and religion, my work explores the links between biology and culture, the present and the past, the personal and the universal. My principal strategies are, transforming common objects into other recognizable objects and juxtaposing disparate materials and images. In the process, popular dichotomies are recognized […]
Greg Semu
I explore themes of cultural displacement and the significance of identity. Using photography, sound and film, I create evocative dialogues to challenge the romanticised colonialist documentation of “first contact”. The Berlin residency will allow me to research and mine the historical treasures reflecting “colonial” Samoa in German institutions, museums and galleries, with the prospect of […]
Róza El-Hassan
I was born in Budapest of Syrian and Hungarian origins. I grew up in the western part of Germany, near Düsseldorf, and German became more or less my native language. Since 1992 I have been working and participating in exhibitions internationally. One of the works that best epitomises my practice from that time is Stretched […]
Mikko Rikala
What are the possibilities for man to observe and understand the world beyond the rational mind? This is the essential question Mikko Rikala seeks to instantiate through his work. Epistemological by nature, his work examines the tension between “seeing”, which can be equated with the realm of physics and its measurable dimensions as a form […]
