Ana Manso

The work of Ana Manso is ingrained deeply in the medium of painting, making the canvas or raw wall surface a place of encounter between the real world and the imaginary. Free of structure, order, and rationale, Manso uses the language of abstraction and color, where the resemblance of forms, driven by chance, is coincidental and uninviting to interpretation, favoring instead a sense of spirituality and mystery.

Ana Manso has exhibited work at Serralves Museum of Contemporary Art, Porto; FUTURA Centre for Contemporary Art, Prague; and the Grand Duke Jean Museum of Modern Art, Luxembourg City, among others.

Justin Sterling

Justin Sterling is a visual artist and a trumpet player based in New York City. Through recycling and civil disobedience, Sterling appropriates the city to create a poetic storytelling relationship within the urban and domestic, which in turn becomes a catalyst for social, political, and environmental discourse and activism.

Justin Sterling has exhibited work at Houston Museum of African American Culture; MoMA PS1, and Parsons School for Design, both New York, among others.

Anssi Pulkkinen

Anssi Pulkkinen creates sculptural and architectural interventions within interiors and public space. His work is grounded in observations of spaces and the artistic gestures are often delicate operations that distort these observations with humour. Pulkkinen employs materials typically used in construction industry, structural elements and parts of infrastructure. These elements are brought back to a dysfunctional state, a state of becoming of meaning. They disrupt the system of here and now, to rupture viewer’s organization of space and time.

Anssi Pulkkinen has exhibited work at The ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark; The Helsinki Art Museum and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, both Finland, among others.
