Hadassah Emmerich
Curvy, sensuous and ostentatious lines make up much of Hadassah Emmerich’s drawings, paintings, murals and linocuts. “Exotic” and “feminine” imagery – flowers, vines, fruits, women’s bodies and faces – also populate her images and installations, in which male figures such as Paul Gauguin or King Sigismund II make occasional appearances. Literature, ranging from Gauguin biographies […]

We live in environments where we often deprive ourselves of the interaction we crave. By subtly altering socially accepted norms, I strive to raise awareness of our desire to engage with others and the surrounding environment. There is much to be said for private and public bodily interactions in daily life. The intellectual side of […]
Roey Heifetz
Roey Heifetz, who studied art at the Bezalel Academy for Art and Design in Jerusalem, has exhibited in galleries and museums worldwide. His large-scale drawings are delicate in detail despite their often rough overall aspect. This results in a certain closeness on the formal level of drawing and a distance from the content of the […]
Miguel Ángel Tornero
For several years, I’ve been taking pictures of my daily life in an instinctive, yet obsessive way, increasing this way the number of images of an extensive personal photographic archive, which is the basis of my work. By manipulating these pictures and by means of the photography, I create situations in which, very often, the […]
Soda_Jerk
Soda_Jerk are two collaborative artists since 2002, who work exclusively with audiovisual samples to create new narratives. By atomising and reassembling recorded culture they aim to manufacture counter-mythologies of the present. In their work sampling becomes a means of synthesising distinct space-times, making explicit the inherent ‘science-fiction’ of recorded media. Their work at Künstlerhaus Bethanian […]
Alicia Frankovich
I test the boundaries of the monumental, analysing the responsive, reactionary act versus the grounded and final object. The work asserts a sense of territory and power in a space. The work often appears flipped and active. Restraint is a concern where the body is held back. Relating to my performance works, my body is […]
André Romão
My work explores the boundaries between absolute, idealistic abstraction and the actual making of things that exist in the visible word. My working process often derives from a rethinking of historical and literary episodes and sources. These references, such as the War of Italian Unification or the British miners’ strikes, are put into relation to […]
Patrick Bernatchez
Patrick Bernatchez’s ongoing cycle entitled Chrysalides (French entomological term for “chrysalis”) uses painting, drawing, installation, sound, film, video and photography. “Fashion Plaza”, an imposing shopping centre in Montreal’s Mile End district, is a constant source of inspiration for the artist’s research on metaphoric metamorphosis and his reflections on the relationships between industry and power, and their […]
Michael Kutschbach
With deceptive effortlessness, the elliptical trajectory of Michael Kutschbach’s fluid and ever-evolving practice migrates seamlessly between disparate media – painting, works on paper, sculpture, installation, DVD animation. The use of the term “masquerade” in the title of the work for Kinderszenen (Rohkunstbau XII) is instructive, since in the manner of his animated, chameleon globules that […]
Mark Soo
By what terms is it possible to discuss cultures rather than culture? Animated by this question, Mark Soo’s work explores the intersections of perception and the dynamics of social space, often through unexpected juxtapositions, shifting points of view, doublings and divisions, and across other latitudes. These projects reflect upon themes ranging from events of past […]
