Studio #215

Artist

Tora Schultz

Tora Schultz uses sculpture to explore the social dynamics and invisible gender-bias data that exist in the power of object language. Schultz recontextualizes everyday objects through basic sculptural displacements and tragicomics, frequently referencing institutional design and body stereotypes. She extrapolates the subtle social tensions present in objects around us by paying persistent attention to the specifics of material and form.

Tora Schultz has exhibited work at O-Overgaden, Copenhagen; Den Frie, Copenhagen; and Konstnärshuset, Stockholm, among others.

Sungsil Ryu

Sungsil Ryu’s art delves into materialistic desires in contemporary Korea, shaped by a blend of traditional Korean Confucian values and the pervasive neoliberal global order led by the United States. Through the lens of black comedy and employing diverse mediums including video, installation, and performance, she reinterprets cultural phenomena with incisive commentary.
Sungsil Ryu has exhibited work at Kunsthal Aarhus, Denmark; Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, Germany; Nam June Paik Art Center, South Korea, among others.

Artist

Nifemi Ogunro

Balancing utility and style, Brooklyn-based designer Nifemi Ogunro approaches their design process with equal consideration for both the bodies that interact with their objects and the forms of the objects themselves. While wood is the primary medium for their art and furniture-making practice, Ogunro draws inspiration from photography, film, performance, and movement. They describe their creations as functional sculptures.

Nifemi Ogunro has exhibited work at Side Gallery, Barcelona; and the Denver Art Museum, Colorado, among others.
