Artist

Stefania Strouza

Stefania Strouza’s practice explores how cultural narratives of diverse epochs connect to produce new identity projects. It examines the spatial mobility of such narratives, the exchange of forms and symbols across large distances, and the cross-cultural syncretisms that emerge from it. The artist materializes these ideas through sculptural works and installations that draw associations between the symbolic world of objects and notions of temporality, geography and the body.

Stefania Strouza has exhibited work at The 3rd Industrial Art Biennial, Croatia; NEON, Greece; and Neue Galerie Innsbruck, Austria, among others.

Artist

Katarzyna Przezwańska

In her artistic practice, Katarzyna Przezwańska combines nature and architecture in an effort to “improve the quality of human life and to make art useful”. The artist is inspired by both vernacular architecture and the 20th century classics as well as geological phenomena and vegetative processes. Przezwańska creates architectural interventions, installations, and sculptures, where she often uses natural materials such as rocks, minerals, and plants.

The image presents an interior with white walls and a gray terrazzo floor. On the wall on the right there are two white, closed doors. on the left hand side is a window. Towards the middle of the image, and room, are four objects. Starting from the left, on the wall next to the set of doors, in the distance, is a small box covered in a dark red, metallic festive garland. Right about above it, and crossing the room in half, facing the camera, is a white rippled curtain. A arch-like shape has been cut out in the curtain, making it possible to pass through. The arch is not in the middle of the square-shaped curtain, but a bit to the left of it, asymmetrically. In front of the curtain, diagonally cutting through the space and resting with its red, boxy arrowhead on the floor is a giant, wooden cupid's arrow. It has a light colored wood shaft and the feathers are a white wooden cut-out. Above the arrow, a bit to the right and overlapping the window, is a stained glass in the shape and colors of a dart board - beige, black, red and green.

The tornado over the chamomile box house is a mobile with spinning objects from my garage. You could say that a storm is a permanent state, but often invisible. I am interested in movements that cannot be seen. The movement of particles when you move or the passage of time – but also things and phenomena that we notice from a certain perspective because their reference point has changed.

Artist

Ariane Loze

Through a methodical deconstruction of cinematic norms, Ariane Loze strips her video-performances down to their most basic, structural inner workings. Her post-minimalist aesthetic brings together conceptual expression and home-made execution underpinned by an immediately recognizable narrative made up of static shots of a straightforward action or event. Since 2008, Loze produces her videos autonomously: she take on the roles of director, screenwriter, editor, dresser, and sound and lighting technician, as well as plays all characters.

Ariane Loze has exhibited work at Riga Biennial of Contemporary Art, Riga; S.M.A.K., Ghent; and KANAL Centre Pompidou, Brussels, among others.
