Jumana Manna
Jumana Manna works primarily with film and sculpture. Her work often addresses the body, nationalism, history and the construction of community. For her show at the Künstlerhaus, Manna will show a series of sculptures, symbolically linked to the thematic and processes of her films from her most recent film projects.

Panayiotis Michael
In the last years, Panayiotis Michael’s work has been preoccupied with what may be described, indeed, ‘entitled’, a house. The Künstlerhaus exhibition is less gripped with the social happiness that a structure and its contents may signify, and more pleasurably associative in its flow of forms and metaphors, related, and not, to the artist’s family house, […]
Kevin Schmidt
Kevin Schmidt works with video, photography and installation. On occasion his actions are often located in remote settings, where he creates spectacular staged works by shifting elements of urban culture into untouched natural contexts. In this way, Schmidt simultaneously examines both the seductive elements of contemporary cultural production, and constructions of the idea of nature. […]

Kraft’s oversized images generally have no beginning and no end – rather, it seems that a kind of intermittent rotation around a central point is happening within them. The painterly lines form snails, whirls and eddies from which […]
Flavio de Marco
“Stella Island is the world’s newest wonder. Situated in the heart of the Aegean Sea, in the Southern Cyclades, Stella is the largest artificial island ever created. It’s surface area of approximately 150 square kilometers features the greatest variety of different landscape types of any region that size. The island was designed like a collage […]
Liv Strand
Liv Strand works primarily with time-based art forms such as experimental lectures, collaborative performances or kinetic installations involving the viewer. Her artistic practice is anchored in the principle of re-designing and re-creating, which enables her to reflect on conceptual definitions. The transfer of knowledge or perceptions from one form of expression into another creates spaces […]
Isabel Carvalho
Isabel Carvalho works with drawing, painting, performance and text; the book as an artistic medium as well as writing and publishing are key components of her artistic production. Carvalho’s most recent complex of work was inspired decisively by her reading of Tropismes, a meticulous prose study of interpersonal “movements under stimulus” (this is the physiological […]
