Jesper Nordahl
The documentary-tinted video works by Swedish artist Jesper Nordahl have for some time been scrutinising the cause and effect of global developments, partly as expressed by the individual, and partly as a manifestation of the societal situation as a whole. Nordahl’s works suggest that the personally rendered narrative is inextricably interwoven with the complex web […]
Jannicke Låker
Låker’s frequently ruthless stories make audiences squirm in their chairs when she includes them in the narrative and shows them exactly what they don’t want to see. With wry humour she presents people in cruelly manipulated and unpleasant situations. (…) Jannicke Låker is one of the very few Norwegian artists who have consistently worked with […]
Mark Moskovitz
For years, I had blue-collar envy, because with all my schooling, I felt educated but didn’t know how to do anything important – like frame a house or grow food. When I worked in the ‘professional’ world, the only moments that seemed significant were when I rode my bike home at the end of the […]
Charlotte Schleiffert
Life-size figures in her drawings and paintings are fertile soil for Charlotte Schleiffert’s fantasy, based on power and suppression. Besides the fact that passionate women are central in her work, she feels very committed to the social and political movements of our global society in general. “Schleiffert’s area of interest comprises outspoken physical figures and […]
Serkan Özkaya
Serkan Özkaya can remember copying important works of contemporary art from an early age. Reproductions were for Özkaya and other artists of his generation more important than the original could ever be. The prospect of seeing an original became a form of back-up and often a let-down – potentially it was smaller, less colourful, and […]
Wim Catrysse
Wim Catrysse’s video installations are intended to make the spectator aware of his or her own viewing and experiencing. An important aspect of this involves addressing the viewer and the way the work is integrated into the space. On the one hand, Catrysse’s video films are themselves an investigation into the relationship between the body […]
Shin il Kim
My motivation for making an artwork is to realise the history of art in terms of its limitations. I am equally concerned with the human condition and mankind’s attempts at achieving a balance in life. These themes intermingle in my work as I try to transcend their restrictive barriers. One of the ways to depict […]

To create a mystery: Change all facts into fiction. Change fiction into facts again. Repeat endlessly. (Katie King)
Takahiro Suzuki
I write the word “IKIRO”, which means, “to be alive”. I have been writing it every day since 1997, as a project shown in many places around the world, both in museums and on the street. Initially I merely wanted to express myself in public space by staging an installation art piece using my body. […]
Hadley + Maxwell
Drawing a solid line between artifice and sincerity is as intangible as being right all the time. Hadley + Maxwell build a tension between politics and aesthetics, reflecting on issues of taste and its historical construction. The urgency in which they explore these ideas is worked out in their collaborative process. Culling from music culture, […]
