My practice as an installation artist is motivated by cohabitating in rapidly obsolescent urban spaces. My own experiences of loss or eviction due to forces of gentrification and living on a low income without a secure future are the conceptual forces behind my work. My point of departure is ‘the home’. The home is the […]

My works attempt to chart, through small deflections and exaggerations, the different spatial vectors that we inhabit and that inhabit us. The assumption is that space can be analysed into discrete identifiable components that fit into each other while forming functional or dysfunctional wholes. Space can be seen as an all-encompassing machine made of unstable […]

The use of violence in an institutionalised form is more or less widely accepted as a way to reach certain goals. This kind of violence asks for tight organisation and consequently has its own, clear aesthetics. The same violence on an individual level, however, is taboo and hence not accepted. I think of it as […]
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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
