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 […]
Linn Pedersen
Linn Pedersen’s artistic practice encompasses photography, collage and sculpture as well as video and film. Merging documentary features with poetic elements, her photographs depict such varied subjects as discarded consumer goods, landscape sceneries, architectural constructions or human figures. Taken during random walks through the landscape, they are simultaneously expressive and introverted, examining the thin line […]
David Armstrong-Six
David Armstrong-Six is searching for the specific shape of sculpture between noble grace and mere refuse, high cultural pretensions and casual collage, technology and nature, between the minimalist’s material sensitivity and the surrealist’s faith in contingency, between familiar forms and un-forms, i.e. elements that have been deplaced, reworked or destroyed. Using statics that are often […]
Constantinos Taliotis
Commencing from the close inspection of traits particular to specific cinematic genres – the gangster film, the noir, the sci-fi or the espionage – what has always been in the core of my practice is the composition of narratives via the utilization of various elements of cinema. With particular attention to acting gestures, costume specificities, […]
Mark Themann
Mark Themann’s practice incorporates Installations (in static and time based media), performance, drawings, photo and print media. Notions of spacing, the durational, a reflexive performativity, text and context; are recurring markers within his practice. It hovers between the phenomenological and the absurd, the propositional, paradoxical and tautological. For his exhibition at Künstlerhaus Bethanien he will […]
Joris van de Moortel
Prologue; Some quotes or a little text, a little something, a little something about fantasy. … I can’t figure how many times people have asked me; “where do you get all that fantasy (reed: ideas)?” Well, it doesn’t drop like raindrops do, it’s not something you have or haven’t, you just need the ability to […]
Hyein Lee
I want to find a method to express people, houses and objects that have already accepted death or are being discarded, as close as possible to the truth, through painting. When I paint disappearing spaces or people, rather than trying to paint (represent) scenes of a specific time, I try to contain the process of […]
Sharon Houkema
Sharon Houkema is a Dutch artist whose works gradually unfold their story to the spectator. The attention and time that the spectator invests becomes an integral part of the works. By making us retrace the artist’s steps Houkema draws attention to the dynamics of recognition and narration. Houkema has completed several international residencies, among others at […]
