Alona Rodeh
Alona Rodeh’s artistic practice consists of the extensive testing of cultural systems and phenomenas that finally merges objects, spaces and situations with choreographed, extreme or even humoristic performances. “Safe and Sound” is deeply based in the clubs of the counter culture – places where darkness offers another kind of safe refuge – and highlights the […]
Double bind
The exhibition double_bind shows works by 26 artists using the genres video, photography, performance and installation. 26 women artists investigate their own double roles as artists and mothers.

Rest in Space
According to the curators of “Rest in Space”, their exhibition – with which Künstlerhaus Bethanien is opening 2003 – can be described as a “nomadic camp”.

Johan Zetterquist
How do you describe an artist who defines his work as being somewhere “between impossible to describe and conceptual”, who rejects the category of the unnatural, and maintains that evolution cannot be held in check? The individualist Johann Zetterquist is definitely not an aesthetic privateer. The sketches he is showing at the Künstlerhaus are “proposals […]
Attila Szücs
