Jungju An
Jungju An sheds light on a range of issues that concern people in different places across the world, giving universal expression to such themes in his video works by employing a particular composition of images and sound. He demonstrates a preference for the rhythms and sounds of everyday life and their onomatopoeic linguistic descriptions, which […]

Lars Mikkes
Lars Mikkes is one of those contemporary artists who view art as a medium with which they can question and discuss the individual’s interrelations with his or her environment. A persistent motif in his works – whether they are large-format, often several-part paintings or space-consuming sculptures – is the reproduction and investigation of worlds which […]
Robert Quint
Robert Quint´s works have both a seductive and a disturbing effect on the viewer, as they already convey – despite their beauty – a vivid sense of decay and decline. Quint’s formal repertoire employs painting, sculpture, drawing and collage; thematically, the artist makes use of both the past and the present. In Quint’s work, the […]
Tine Oksbjerg
Tine Oksbjerg’s video works focus on the minor everyday stories that develop from encounters between people and social situations. In this context, Oksbjerg is particularly interested in the distinctions between social groups and communities and how people interact as social individuals within them. Oksbjerg’s works can be read as extended tableaux or brief insights into […]
Kimberly Clark
Kimberly Clark is a collective of Dutch artists whose videos, sculptures and installations often reveal a disturbing image of unbridled night-time pleasures that even cross the limits to excess. In static images or snapshots, the changing psychological states of modern man – ranging from euphoria to ennui and isolation to hysteria – are documented in […]
Thomas Lerooy
Thomas Lerooy’s drawings and sculptures involve a creative game with citations and reminiscences from art history. The biting irony that is occasionally noticeable in Lerooy’s technically extremely accurately realised drawings and his sculptures arises from a clever use of highly symbolic objects such as skulls, playing card motifs or skeletons, which he combines into scenarios […]
Freek Wambacq
Freek Wambacq’s work investigates the complex relations between sculpture, installation and architecture. Including found materials and objects, it can be seen in the context of Minimal Art and Arte Povera, whose intellectual pretence it undermines with distinctively subtle humour. Wambacq’s installations, which contain numerous references to the history of modern art, question the conditions of […]
Pernille Koldbech Fich
Pernille Koldbech Fich’s creative medium is photography. To date, she has produced mainly portraits, which exude a tremendous psychological and poetic power. The fascination radiating from Koldbech Fich’s photographs lies in the magnetism of her characters surrounded by an impression of loneliness, and in the role into which the viewer is drawn as he puzzles […]
Kajsa Dahlberg
Kajsa Dahlberg works with images, text and sound. She investigates the construction and mediation of narrative structures in the context of political representation, historical discourse and individual identity. While doing so, she enquires about interrelations between collective and individual forms of narration. In Künstlerhaus Bethanien Dahlberg is showing her book project “Ein Zimmer für sich. […]
