Artist
Jens Settergren
Jens Settergren’s work delves into the production of collective imaginaries and visual culture within late-capitalist society. Using video, sculpture, sound, and installation, he examines the collective fears and fantasies of contemporary life, often in relation to technology and nature. His work investigates the realities images construct and the power they wield, capturing both grand, iconic visuals and placing everyday objects and commercial imagery in unfamiliar contexts.

Artist
Kara Springer
Kara Springer’s work centers on armature—the underlying structure that holds the body in place. Using photography, sculpture, and site-specific interventions, she explores systems of structural power and support. Her practice is deeply rooted in processes of care and attentiveness, focused on understanding the specificities of a given context and environment. This sensitivity allows her to consider how a structure might exist sustainably in relation to the world around it.
Kara Springer has exhibited work at Museum of Contemporary Art, Toronto; Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto; and Institute of Contemporary Art, Boston, among others.
