Biljana Popovic
Biljana Popovic’s artistic research deals with questions of society, art in public spaces and the physical structures of our environment. Based on the premise that architectural environments provide information about the people who inhabit or use them as well as about aesthetic or stylistic concepts, Popovic gives architectural or interior design elements in her artistic […]
Pablo Pijnappel
Pablo Pijnappel’s work revolves around the relation between storytelling and the concoctions of memory. Taking psychoanalysis and literature as their starting points, his works are meta-narratives that poetically combine cultural, historical and ancestral identities, meshing them together through the prism of the past. For Pijnappel, language plays a central role in bridging the mechanisms of […]
Andrés Pereira Paz
Radio Carabuco at Künstlerhaus Bethanien has evolved from the podcast station of the same name created by Bolivian artist Andrés Pereira Paz. The starting point is the artist’s critical reflections on a vision of hell produced by the painter José López de los Ríos, created in 1664 in the town of Carabuco in Bolivia. This […]
Stelios Kallinikou
As a trained archaeologist, Stelios Kallinikou seeks to make visible narratives about places that settle beyond words; in an introspective, almost meditative way, he creates worlds that function like speculative scenarios exploring the intersections of territorial and ideological concepts of landscape. In the exhibition rcsaerh, Kallinikou focuses on different places of ‘in-between’ and the politics […]
Hugo de Almeida Pinho
Approaching the past and present relationships between ecology, economics, conflict and technology, Hugo de Almeida Pinho’s exhibition reflects on how the geological materiality of earth defines the technical culture of media by the extensive use of mineral resources in technological devices, but also on the implications between the history of technology and the inner histories […]
Savaş Boyraz
In his works, photographer Savas Boyraz sheds a critical light on the landscapes of his origin and descendance, with which he feels strong ties. Some of his early works are based on documentary photo series about the common people in South Eastern Anatolia: people in a state of transition, travellers or migrants. Boyraz’s cinematic perspective, […]
Chiu Chen-Hung
Chiu Chen-Hung’s works take the form of installations, videos and sculptures. His approach is similar to that of an archaeological excavation, enabling him to uncover traces and outlines of past times and spaces. Using his practice of abstracting and reinterpreting, Chiu re-shapes formerly existing objects and meanings to develop a method of restoring memory. His […]
Hayden Fowler
Hayden Fowler’s artistic strategy involves the construction of conceptually layered, immersive installations and scenography. His work depicts scenarios ranging from pristine futuristic interiors to post-apocalyptic or historical landscapes. Within these spaces, choreographies between plants, animals and ideas of the machine unfold, weaving mysticism, technology, architecture and life forms into strange new systems. These speculative spaces […]
Pia Krajewski, Irina Ojovan
Undulating hair, endlessly meandering arms, vases and pitchers as protagonists of an enticing puzzle. Monochrome surfaces, tightly covering the underlying layers, provide information about the past, much like a palimpsest. From April 12 till May 5, 2019, this year’s Winsor & Newton Fellows Pia Krajewski and Irina Ojovan will be presenting new works in a […]
Krista Belle Stewart

She works with video, with the land belonging to her family, with performance, photography and sound. She uses archive […]
