Julie Stavad

Julie Stavad’s sculptures and installations engage the body while creating an associated interaction with the object through dramatic shifts in scale and material contrasts. By combining various sensory modalities, the artist attempts to create an interaction in which the quiet material speaks and verbal utterances take on tangible shape. 

Julie Stavad has exhibited work at Kunsthalle Seinäjoki, Finland; O-Overgaden, Denmark; Holstebro Kunstmuseum, Denmark; and Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark, among others.

Chase Middleton

Chase Middleton depicts a disparate range of scenes: ritualistic gatherings, family dinners, and hallucinatory artifice. Middleton’s work raises uncanniness by presenting the familiar in a division between reality and fantasy. Concerns around class, popular culture, youthful rebellion, and the blurred lines that separate times are woven into the fabric of each carefully constructed narrative.

Chase Middleton has exhibited work at Yancey Richardson, New York; Hyères International Festival, France; and National Photographic Portrait Prize Exhibition, Canberra, among others.

Larissa Kopp & Florian Aschka

Larissa Kopp & Florian Aschka work with staged photography and utilize performance as a tool to investigate queer strategies as well as mythology and the notion of a collective cultural memory. This extends to video, interactive happenings as well as performative interventions in which boundaries of prevailing gender roles, constructed exoticisms, and standardization processes are confronted with the notion of a queer utopia.

Larissa Kopp & Florian Aschka has exhibited work at Museum of Contemporary Art in Krakow, Poland; Kunsthaus Graz, Austria; and Belvedere 21, Austria, among others.
