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 […]
Evelīna Deičmane
Evelīna Deičmane’s work, which often makes reference to her national background, uses a wide range of techniques, among which sound and visual elements. Her conceptual approach is tempered by existential moods and human experiences, creating a space where sorrow collides with happiness, and drama is diffused with humour. Deičmane has participated in numerous exhibitions and […]
Gabrielle de Vietri
Gabriele de Vietri uses performance, video, photography and text to investigate issues such as identity formation and human behavioural patterns on the backdrop of wider social, cultural and philosophical implications. In small interactive experiments involving both actors and spectators, she unravels the conventional structures that underlie human relationships. Whether turning the daily news into song […]
Assaf Gruber
Assaf Gruber’s artistic practice, which encompasses and simultaneously deconstructs a variety of media, is both gestural and performative. It is a form of speech – a poetic manifestation of intimacy, the confession of a Beckettian author. Gruber’s simultaneously metaphorical and allegorical configurations in space are landscapes of thought, oscillating between anxiety and the unfulfilled desire to […]
