Artist

Clio Van Aerde

Clio Van Aerde’s transdisciplinary practice spans performance, choreography, site-specific and endurance art, as well as visual arts. Her work explores the poetic and subversive potential of overlooked everyday interactions between humans, non-humans, and spaces. Drawing on embodied experience, spatial awareness, and the passage of time, she challenges norms of productivity and performativity, instead inviting idleness, absurdity, and critical reflection. Trained in performance at ArtEZ in Arnhem and scenography at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, she was awarded the Edward Steichen Award in 2024.
Clio Van Aerde has exhibited work at Mudam Museum of Modern Art; and TROIS C-L | Maison pour la Danse, both in Luxembourg, among others.

Past Resident
2025: Artis

Maria Saleh Mahmeed

Maria Saleh Mahameed explores the complexities of identity, born to a Ukrainian mother and a Palestinian father, through the lenses of nationality and religion. Working on an extremely large scale, she manages to create deeply intimate narratives that grapple with personal, social, and political themes. Black charcoal features prominently in her work. For Mahameed, charcoal is a powerful and visceral tool—one that allows her to leave a direct, physical trace using materials rooted in her surroundings. The medium also holds symbolic meaning, connecting her practice to her birthplace, Umm el-Fahem, which translates to “Mother of Charcoal.”

Maria Saleh Mahameed has exhibited work at Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; MAXXI – National Museum of 21st Century Art, Italy; and The Israel Museum, Israel, among others.

Artist

Villiam Miklos Andersen

Queering familiar logistics—from transport industries to public toilets and pawnshop businesses—is central to Villiam Miklos Andersen’s sculptural and relational artistic practice. Through sculptural gestures that subtly tweak familiar objects, Andersen upends how consumer goods—and even zones of trade—are saturated with the masculinized aesthetics of freight transport and the uniformity of dominant infrastructures. By altering the normative visual codes of commodities, Andersen reveals the systemic logistical regulation of everyday actions, purchases, and movement patterns—structures often hidden in plain sight.
Villiam Miklos Andersen has exhibited work at O-Overgaden, Denmark; Una Boccata d’Arte with Fondazione Elpis & Galleria Continua, Italy; and documenta fifteen, Germany, among others.
