Tarje Eikanger Gullaksen
Born 1973 in Norway
Lives and works in Berlin
•
Gullaksen is interested in situations in which things lose their usual functions and point to other contexts of meaning. In his choice of artistic media, he makes clear that every form of representation is in principle doomed to failure, due to the fact that artistic language plays a crucial role in determining its the content from its first articulation. In his work, Gullaksen traces the places in which one representation model transitions into another. It is exactly through these junctures, transitions, jumps and translation mechanisms that he is able to reveal sensibilities that expand our perceptions of reality and imbue them with new qualities. He works in a wide range of artistic media including text, installation, sculpture and drawing.

Michael Hakimi
Born in Eutin, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin
•
In the work of Michael Hakimi, what may look like a vocabulary standard to much of current art production (...) is used not as mere technique or for formal adornment, but in order to create complex and personal investigations, opposing official politics with street wisdom and wit, shifting between vernacular and high-brow culture, and effecting short-circuits between remote cultures and eras. Precisely choreographed, darkly beautiful and hiding meaning rather than indulging in full exposure, these defiant and sensitive works are like celestial orbs that can be found hanging in a storefront window.

Dave Hullfish Bailey
Born 1963
Lives and works in Los Angeles
•
Dave Hullfish Bailey moves with dazzling skill between different systems: the world of materials and their influence on our way of sensing and acting; the realm of objects as already constituted things; and language as our method of describing what we see, feel and think. In his work, Bailey shows the possible interrelations between all these ways of making the world, constructing a universe in which all elements are equally important, and where the material and the immaterial dance together in order to make us reflect on how meaning moves between them. Bailey's research-based approach is inherently experimental and speculative and the material form his work takes is inextricably a part of its conceptual subject.

Lena Inken Schaefer
Born 1982
Lives and works in Berlin
•
Lena Inken Schaefer's works are objects which often hide an unclear meaning full of unveiled secrets. Their materiality changes its meaning and is read through gestures and actions and their processes. Perceptions are interrupted as views are altered.
She talks about ornament as a tool of separation and decoration as seen in the evolution of ornamental behavior, which used to separate itself from its surroundings. Schaefer pursues the theme of absence to degrees of similarity and abstraction and their evolution via movement, material and different associative contexts.
(Excerpts taken from the text composed by Magdalena Magiera for Based in Berlin, 2011)

ELIN JAKOBSDOTTIR
Born 1968 in Selfoss, Iceland
Lives and Works in Glasgow, Scotland
•
Jakobsdottir seeks out a kind of hieratic order hidden beneath the surface of the everyday, conjuring shapes and forms that echo the poetic mystery at the heart of Being. Like a musician improvising on different instruments she moves back and forth between media as well as between the outer and the inner world of perception, testing how traces in one’s memory connect or re-connect with a present, physical experience. Her attitude to time is rhythmic, the ultimate non-time within paintings expands into a buckled loop of incremental pictorial changes within her films. In her drawings this looped tableau acquires a new trajectory that reabsorbs the archetypal characters of her films, the meticulous paper cutouts and the free hand spontaneous mark making of her earliest artistic endeavours into a palimpsest of forms where the macrocosm of the inner and outer worlds are held in poetic arrangements.

Darri Lorenzen
Born 1978 in Reykjavik, Iceland
Lives and works in Berlin
•
In the process of working through concepts and experiences of space, Darri
Lorenzen does not aim for spectacular effects, nor does he set up experiments
with the goal of explaining how vision or space in and of itself, functions.
Rather, his minimal interventions and subtle shifts emphasize and play with the
fact that space is constructed processually, through a series of changes, out of
small fragments, which - through memory and the experience of time - eventually
appear as the basic elements constituting any idea of space. The artist works
with elements of the spatial situation at hand, while the visitor himself sets
the work in motion.

Essay on Darri Lorenzen's Work' in In Point of Fact,

Andrea Pichl
Born 1964 in Haldensleben, Germany
Lives and works in Berlin, Germany
•
She is inspired by the inconsistencies and contradictions, by the strange ways in which interstices are bridged, by often neglected details, as well as by elements which »officially« are considered to be a failure. The many versions of socialist architecture form the primary focus of her research and she has travelled far afield in search of further examples.
(Ludwig Seyfarth in: Mies van der Rohe and the Grotesque Body - Reflections on Andrea Pichl’s »For ever and ever«)

No Fixed Abode or Fiction House
1994 was a year of no fixed abode. Hackney was a harbour, an idyll of Asians, Caribbeans and Greeks where one could paint in a bedsit, walk down Mare street in a Shalwar Qamis and live in ecstatic obscurity on the edge of the poverty trap and in the shared company of fellow outsiders. I received visits from Graefin von Jakobsdottir and returned them. If you can survive that level of obscurity from an art world full of clubs and group activity, you can survive anything. Organizing studio visits in the corner of school buildings and responding to the question ‘Where have you been since graduating?’ «Hitchhiking, singing in Aleppo, painting, learning languages, building a sense of world outside the art world. Painting needs time, takes time has time.» No good. If you are not voraciously making your way like pacman round the institutional map, then you might as well not exist. But I did and do wake up daily to existence and move from dark to light between two spaces. A dart of morning light and the yellow haze of a bulb at night. No money honey, only the smell of cooking spice and a shelf full of books in different languages. French, German, Italian, Urdu, Arabic as if once you can master the foreign language you might be less afraid of the stranger, but then my own shadow cast by the lamp on the wall still freaks me out.
I am not « emerging ». I have always been here. I meet my several selves somewhere in the midst of painting; one is a kind of itinerant intellectual who wants to use painting to make a point about history, cultural and language, and the other one is a hollow shell that painting passes through making weird noises as it goes.

Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio
Born 1972 in Pozzuoli (NA), Italy
Lives and works in Berlin and Naples
•
Be it sculpture, installation, video, painting, photography or animation, the work of Lorenzo Scotto di Luzio confronts with irony and sarcasm social stereotypes and clichés of the contemporary world. Popular ideologies unite with historical references and the paradox merges with kitsch thus creating images with strong metaphorical potency. With a gaze that is both disenchanted and melancholic, the artist presents grotesque situations in which he ridicules common and shared attitudes: the frenzy of everyday life, social statuses, the desire for power and manipulation on the job or in the professional world. Scotto di Luzio is often the protagonist of his works, confronting his own idiosyncrasies and analysing through his own self the problems of the present.

•
In certain circumstances, typography may even be art. That was the insight Kurt Schwitter arrived at in 1930. Before Schwitters' day, typography was devoted to a single goal: the visualization of linguistic content. (...) The circumstances have changed. In the era of their digital employment, font design and typography, as instruments of visual communication, face a merciless compulsion to innovate. As typography engages in wild escapades, people are less and less interested in reading, while more is being written and published than ever. Now is not the time for art.
And then someone comes along and, with analogue deliberateness, paints simple messages and turns of phrase in plain letters on canvas, shrouding them in gentle colors and a carpet of shapes, that makes you think of christmas: that takes a healthy dose of irony, especially since the author is considered a pioneer of digital communication.
(taken from: Lars Müller 'Do the Stars Need a Reason to Shine' in Markus Weisbeck: Surface, Monograph, Sternberg Press NYC, 2011)
