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 […]
Melanie Bonajo
Melanie Bonajo’s photographs, videos, installations and performances question current belief systems by confronting their mechanical vision of the world with an artificial universe or substituted realities. To do so, the artist combines various mental patterns inspired by religion, anthropology, mythology, intuitive behaviour, sociological experiments and her own experiences. Bonajo works with fictive interventions, blending seemingly […]
Marinella Senatore
Marinella Senatore works with photography, drawing, video, installation and sound. Her projects, which are often developed in collaboration with museums and universities, involve entire communities in the creative process – for instance, a group of rappers in Harlem (2009), a community of retired miners in Sicily (2010) or two hundred residents of New York’s Lower […]
François Martig
François Martig’s work uses a wide range of media, from sculptural and sound installations to radio documentaries and photography, in order to react on the specific social and geographical context in which it is shown. “Robinsonhotel”, the long-term project at the centre of Martig’s artistic practice, examines the landscape as a social, economical and political […]
Ylva Westerlund
The sciences have always provided us with theories and classifications purporting to explain our lives and what it means to be human. These explanatory models have often been developed by men and therefore posit the masculine experience as the norm. Ylva Westerlund explores widely disseminated Western representations of knowledge by taking on alternative roles, switching […]
Daniel Young
Daniel Young has been collaborating with Christian Giroux since 2002. Most recently the two artists have been working on a survey of Canadian infrastructure (bridges, dams, hydro pylons, pipelines, navigational aids etc.). Previously they produced the sculpture entitled Mr. Smith, a tetrahedral space-frame made from plywood struts, triangle panels and cast aluminium joints. Mr. Smith […]
Mauro Cerqueira
Tension, weakness, balance, density, construction and destruction are key words in my artistic vocabulary. My works draw mostly on daily events, teenage culture and literature to investigate notions such as violence and social stability or conformity, the weight or lightness of bodies, or personal relationships with their obsessions and anxieties. Like the drawing of a boy […]
Jan Adriaans
Working with photography, installation and video, I try to establish a dialogue between different media and realities. My work investigates materials, objects and space in the wider context of the fetish as “an object created by man to gain power over the other”. The lining, or “skin”, of rooms, for instance, is invested with symbolic […]
