Iza Tarasewicz
Iza Tarasewicz’s works serve as temporary conduits for a meeting of substances, energies, locations, temporalities, intonations, and concepts, which the artist identifies as only events in a continuous series of material and symbolic interactions. Her objects and arrangements are base things that resist the binary of natural and artificial, joining together quotidian, ignoble, or emblematic […]
Vera Kox
On stretching (1) Flaccid and enervated the soft, lax wax drapes in an unlikely upward motion. At a certain wavering pitch it tapers out and descends plummeting downward. Pummeled almost erotically onto its unlikely companion, teetering on violence. Twisted until it cracks. Undulating under the surface, ridge to furrow, furrow to ridge. A petrified mass, […]

My work is an ongoing investigation of spaces around me: their character, constitution and the way we are using, experiencing and remembering them. I construct architectural sculptures/spatial installations, mostly site-specific. I work with physical attributes of a place/object, present/historical context of the situation and here out forthcoming presumptions and routines of behaviour and movements. By […]
Ricky Armendariz
Armendariz was raised in El Paso, Texas, which borders Las Cruces, New Mexico and Juarez, Mexico. There he was surrounded by a mix of romanticism for the American landscape and the hybridization of Mexican, American, and indigenous cultures. Images that have cultural, biographical, and art historical references are carved and burned into the surface of […]
Erla S. Haraldsdóttir
More than five years ago, Erla S. Haraldsdóttir started using images of everyday environments, which she transformed in order to disrupt the public’s perception and eventually get it to reflect on the possibility of an alternative reality. How would spectators react to the possibility of having an oriental bazaar in the centre of Reykjavik, which […]
Tea Mäkipää
The key themes in Finnish artist Tea Mäkipää’s photographs, films, objects, installations, live actions and performances are the survival tactics and social behaviour of both individuals and the human species as a whole in cohabitating with other species. The starting point for Mäkipää’s artistic research is often her own behaviour in terms of basic actions […]
Catherine Bolduc
In the practice of my art, I try to stage the way we perceive and build the “real” by casting our desires into it, by transgressing reality by means of the fabrication of the marvellous. My work recalls the vulnerability of humankind, faced with the inevitable discrepancy between desire and reality. My artistic practice takes […]
Zoya Cherkassky
Disobedience. Art has never existed separately from politics. Art is always political, it can be both: a means of liberation and a means of enslavement. The contemporary art system is financed by the art market, and hence, serves its interests. For quite a while now, nothing about contemporary art has been discussed apart from its […]
Daniel Barroca
In my work, I make an attempt to become involved with a process of reconnection to the intensity and authenticity of experience. My point of departure is my acknowledgment that in contemporary times experience is becoming gradually poorer, and that images are but a distorting filter of the real meaning of things. In the last […]
Haris Epaminonda
The art of Haris Epaminonda is a matter of incisions, splices, folds and pleats; it ceaselessly rends itself along unsuspected lines, then stitches the remnants together in enigmatic and startling ways. It is an art exercised not so much by the venerable theme of the fragment, as by the interstices between fragments: the infinitely svelte […]
