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, […]
Michel de Broin
Is it possible to imagine a resistance that would be distinct from the idea of being ‘against’? In Michel de Broin’s work, the metaphor of resistance is approached from a perspective of how it is possible to reveal political and social questions without, however, evoking them in their most manifest sense. Refining his concept of […]
János Fodor
János Fodor works with drawing, photography, and most distinctively, video. His films are characteristically snapshot sequences that capture exceptional moments of everyday life identified in chaotic urban environments. He favours short clips that convey a single idea, revealing the concept of an image, without dwelling unduly on form or encouraging sentimentality. There is both irony […]
Anita di Bianco
Determined to avoid reductive expressions and filmic representations as predictably unjust as that which they endeavour to disturb, I am interested in articulations of restlessness and in examining that characteristic inability of certain myths and legacies to rest peacefully. My filmic work consists in re-staging texts such as Jean Genet’s Les Bonnes and Marguerite Yourcenar’s […]
