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 Images that have cultural, biographical, and art historical references are carved and burned into the surface of […]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 […]
Luca Trevisani
I realize that my path consists of a continuous measuring of distances and interstices owing to obsessive repetitions and actions which appear meaningless, and which also become a tool to view the world. This action is a simplified model which makes its function obvious; at the same time it is an abstraction, a formal simplification, […]
Marianne Vierø
The dominant subject of my work so far has been an investigation of the distance between ideal and illusion. I work with photography and installation, sometimes as one inseparable entity, sometimes as two different mediums. The objects used in my work are mostly ordinary and unspectacular; still they often appear in a context that lends […]
Martin Skauen
Martin Skauen produces ephemeral sketches of scenes that bring together his world of imagination. His large-scale drawings are highly detailed and underlined by the films he makes out of the drawings. The films not only investigate the possibility of transforming two-dimensional space into three dimensions, but also the means to attain movement in two dimensions. […]
