Antonis Pittas
Antonis Pittas’ work revolves around current social and political issues, marked by a profound connection to history. He creates spatial installations that respond to specific contexts, drawing inspiration from architecture, design, art history, the performative aspects of installation art, and its social dynamics. At the core of Pittas’ practice is the question about the relationship between the past and present. His practice delves into significant historical moments of destruction, decay, and resistance, playing a pivotal role in shaping his artistic narrative.
Antonis Pittas has exhibited work at Museum for Contemporary Art – Eindhoven – Van Abbemuseum, The Netherlands; Centraal Museum, The Netherlands; and National Museum of Contemporary Art Αthens (ΕΜΣΤ), Greece, among others.

Artist
Apichaya Wanthiang
Apichaya Wanthiang creates environments that activate embodied knowledge and somatic memories, exploring how different spaces shape our perceptions, behaviors, and interactions. She primarily works with painting and installations that incorporate light, sound, and text. While each exhibition centers on a specific theme, these serve as a prelude to examining complex and often invisible structures, such as the cumulative effects of racism or the impact of memories on our present actions.
Apichaya Wanthiang has exhibited work at Munch Museum, Oslo; Storage Art Space, Bangkok; and UKS Young Artists’ Society, Oslo, among others.

Artist
Ina Gerken
Ina Gerken’s intuitive, predominantly large-format paintings delve into the subconscious and the uncertainty inherent in our experience of the world. In her process, she surrenders to the unknown, letting the paint guide her until something figurative or invisible—perhaps a feeling or an inner landscape—emerges. She remains open to multiple interpretations of her work, allowing it to speak in different ways to each viewer. The quick-drying gouache or acrylic paint enables her to work with spontaneity and energy, her creative decisions driven not by intellect, but by instinct and bodily expression.
Ina Gerken has exhibited work at Deichtorhallen Hamburg, Germany; Kunstmuseum Bonn, Germany; and Galerie Forsblom, Finland, among others.
