My practice is focused on self-portraiture. I have been exploring the unique propositions that it presents in my own way, while attempting to create works that open up to the audience with a pleasant surprise, just like unwrapping a present. The self-portrait has a long history and is a process of self-observation, which can be […]
Jasper Sebastian Stürup
Primarily known for exploring and emphasizing the practice of freehand drawing, Jasper Sebastian Stürup also works in a range of media including artist books, painting, video, and sculpture. His drawings feature imagery created through delicate and reductive line forms, depicting individuals and scenes from art, folk and pop music, avant-garde and independent film, and literature. These subjects often appear […]
Mahony
founded 2001 in Vienna, Austria Stephan Kobatsch, born 1975 Vienna, Austria Clemens Leuschner, born 1976 Göttingen, Germany Jenny Wolka, born 1978 Cologne, Germany Much of Mahony´s artistic production derives from wellknown and unknown historical facts. This kind of appropriation in Mahony-terms always means questioning, transforming, translating, re-associating and reactivating the chosen topic. With this process they form new […]
Eileen Maxson
Eileen Maxson is an interdisciplinary artist working at the points of intersection of video, performance, and installation. Her partly heavy-hearted and partly humorous works lament the vanishing borders between imagination and consumer coercion, between technology and true personality. Essentially, each of her works represents a failed exorcism of uninvited influences and too much information. With […]
Jumana Manna
Jumana Manna’s work explores the construction of human identity in relation to historical narratives and subcultural communities. Her videos are attempts at weaving together portraits of morally dubious characters or events, while her sculptural practice entails a disfiguring of familiar objects, freed from their designated function and represented in a state of abjection or defeat. […]
Isabel Carvalho
Isabel Carvalho‘s projects integrate series of collaborative experiences. She is currently responsible for Navio Vazio, a space whose curatorial program focuses on the book as a three dimensional space and expands publishing as a conceptual practice in artistic creation. Publishing has been a relevant area in recent years, which Isabel combines with drawing, painting, performance, […]
Kevin Schmidt
Kevin Schmidt’s practice serves to question the seamlessness of the entertainment industry through appropriation and makeshift techniques. By mirroring the affective devices of mass entertainment, and leaving evidence of independant production, the artist demistify the seductive element of cultural production. Integral to this approach is a foregrounding of subjectivity and iconographies. Topdown systems of cultural […]
Erika Baglyas
Erika Baglyas’s works are characterised by the connections between public and private spheres and the paradoxical emphasis on intimacy. “One’s own reality is the only reality, because the only truth is subjectivity”, she writes in a preface to one of her exhibitions. Texts are an essential part of her practice, in which she frequently uses […]
Liv Strand
My practice is rooted in the notion of reshaping – reshaping in order to reflect and (re-) activate definitions by translating them into form. Information, knowledge and perception are transposed materially, from one artistic expression to another. This shift opens up gaps between disciplines and materials, which become spaces for possible negotiation and re-articulation. This […]
Ben Cauchi
For the past decade I have engaged in a photographic practice examining primarily the nature of photography, the passage of time, and the psychological dimensions of viewing. My work is made predominantly with the wet plate collodion process, the results being ambrotypes and tintypes: one-off positives on glass or metal. It’s a process that dates […]
