Christine Overvad Hansen
In her practice, Christine Overvad Hansen explores the acute, crisis-ridden state of late capitalist society and how this crisis fundamentally shapes our understanding of what it means to be human today. Drawing inspiration from Western cultural history, she intertwines ancient mythological figures with contemporary and existential conditions, addressing interpersonal relationships and power dynamics. Her work unfolds in multi-voiced narratives that highlight the plasticity and vulnerability of the human psyche.
Christine Overvad has exhibited work at Holstebro Museum, Denmark; Horsens Art Museum, Denmark; and Parallel Vienna, Austria, among others.

Klára Orosz
Klára Orosz’s practice centers on the viewer’s interaction with objects and space. Her works explore visual and spatial perception, often involving installations that transform the gallery into interactive settings, constantly testing and pushing the boundaries between the object and the observer. Her aim is to create relational situations by minimizing the distance between the exhibited work and the viewer, inviting the audience to participate.
Klára Orosz has exhibited work at OSTRALE Biennale, Germany; Hungarian Academy in Rome, Italy; and Goldsmiths College, United Kingdom, among others.
