Nico Dockx
Nico Dockx’ works often constitute his response to found texts, images or architectonic structures. In many cases, he works together with other artists, musicians or even scientists, since his aesthetic practice develops in conjunction with and relation to others. Nico Dockx’ work is inspired by a fundamental interest in structural processes and archives. His installations, […]
Moonjoo Lee
Moonjoo Lee works with painting and collage techniques. Many years ago in her home city Seoul, she began documenting its omnipresent areas of urban renewal – the so-called “redevelopment sites” – in photographs and painting, and she has retained this practice to the present day. Since then, the transitory nature of urban landscapes has constituted […]
Falkenrot Prize 2007
Sven Drühl’s artistic work lies in the field of conceptual painting, belonging to the tradition of serial and Appropriation Art. In a kind of remix or transformation, he re-interprets famous paintings from art history or contemporary art. As patterns for his unconventional paintings, he chooses ‘classics’ ranging from Monet and C.D. Friedrich to Hodler, even […]
Marianne Vierø
Marianne Vierø works with photography and installation, which she employs partly as an inseparable entity, partly as strictly separate media.

For her project “disobedience”, […]
Ursula Berlot

Her kinetic light installations investigate relations between the material and the immaterial, feeling and understanding, the transient and the permanent. Falling through striated Perspex glass, reflected light creates monochrome, […]
Fluxus East
Fluxus is well-known as an (anti-)artistic, international network with centres in the USA, Western Europe and Japan. But what about this “intermedia” art – art encompassing music, actions, poetry, objects and events – beyond the “Iron Curtain”? What echo did Fluxus find in the states of the former Eastern Bloc, and what parallel developments existed […]
Hadley+Maxwell
The Canadian artist duo Hadley+Maxwell focus their work on themes within the conflicting spheres of politics and aesthetics, subjectivity and political experience. Here, they employ a wide range of media including video, photography and music, but also posters and slogans. “1+1-1” refers to Jean-Luc Godard’s film “Sympathy for the Devil”, made in 1968, which also […]
