Daniel Palacios
Daniel Palacios, who first trained as a scientist, holds MAs in Art and Technology and Art in the Public Sphere. His artistic practice applies the relations between art, science and technology to space and to systems of perception. It is based on the premise that we cannot observe reality without altering it, which entails that […]
Maryam Najd
The paintings of Maryam Najd, who was educated in Teheran and Antwerp – two cultural and artistic extremes – are characterised by a dialectical approach in both form and content. Overcoming the traditionalist, conflict-laden and oppressive context of the Middle East in favour of Western “freedom”, the artist has been developing a highly individual painterly […]
Katja Mater
Katja Mater’s work adopts a meta-perspective to confront the possibilities and limitations of photography. Rather than documenting moments in time, the artist records the numerous ways in which we can look at and think about photographic images. By turning the medium onto itself, she essentially complicates its supposed accuracy. Instead of looking through photography as though […]
Xavier Mary
While Xavier Mary’s work bears witness to a minimalist sensibility, its conceptual sophistication and inherent dramatic tension extend beyond a purely formalistic reading. Minimalism, it appears, is here rewritten in a simultaneously intuitive and daring way. With their industrial appearance, Mary’s sculptures radiate an evocative and jubilant playfulness, oscillating between minimal form and “psychedelia”, between […]
Guillaume Lachapelle
My works can be read as metaphors in which familiar elements and objects are rearranged into fantastical micro-worlds and reinterpreted. They express different moods, while simultaneously revealing the underlying and disquieting dimension of daily life. Their playful appearance is misleading; rather, they use irony to illustrate the complexity of our relationship with reality and lay […]
Pawel Ksiazek
Pawel Ksiazek’s art, although it comprises almost exclusively paintings, can be described as inter-media art, and the painter as an interdisciplinary artist. Such a definition is possible because in the process of creation, Ksiazek makes use of photography, films – both professional and amateur, music, found objects and sculptural-models which he often makes by himself […]
Ayoung Kim
My work, which is based on news stories of mundane events, examines the subtle differences between public records and private stories. My ongoing project “Tales of a City” deals with the microcosmic histories of ordinary people in cities that have undergone rapid modernisation in recent years. By intertwining various bits of information in texts, videos, […]
Delphine Courtillot
The choice of elements that constitute the setting of my paintings is most often guided by the desire to play on iconography inspired by both popular “mystery” codes of representation in cinematic history – that is, the visual conventions used to suggest the inexplicable and to arouse fear, as well as the use of mechanisms […]
Song-Ming Ang
Song-Ming Ang’s work uses a wide variety of formats to explore the social aspects of music. Although it often starts with a constructed premise, its outcome is never fully predictable. The video Be True to Your School (2010), for instance, shows former pupils of a Japanese elementary school attempting to remember their school song decades […]
Aleksandra Domanović
Access to information does not necessarily yield knowledge. On the contrary, the pervasiveness of archives and data in the modern era highlights society’s stubborn resistance to reason – a condition that calls to question the tools with which information is structured and disseminated. While many of Aleksandra Domanović’s projects give shape to the relationships of […]
