SANDRA HAUSER, ARTIST

 

Sandra Hauser is an interdisciplinary artist. She continuously crosses borders of different media, ranging from small drawings to sculpture, painting and film to encompassing performances. Her artistic practice could be considered an evocative and radical exploration of the borders between political reality, fiction and her personal phantasies. As a result, her work is often described in terms such as ‚universal dilettantism’ and ‘subjective realism.’ She studied art at Akademie der Bildenden Künste München with Prof. Stephan Huber and Prof. Hans Op de Beeck. After practicing her art from studios in Munich and Rome/Italy, she moved to Berlin. Her multi-disciplinary works have been shown mainly in Germany and Italy, but also in other European countries and the US.

ELIANA HEREDIA, PLASTIC ARTIST

 

Ever since my first approach to plastic arts I have been trying to conquer space in my artwork. In an attempt to evoke an aesthetic impression for the observer I create installations by remantisizing material from everyday life. The so produced installations offer a journey through timeless and psychological landscapes. In order to produce such views, I use everyday commodities that reacted in combination or when influenced by water, air or change of temperature. These materials show alteration and agitation because of their immanent psycho-chemical character.

MICHELLE JEZIERSKI, ARTIST

 

Michelle Jezierski’s paintings play with light, patterns, space and their effect on perception. Abstract landscapes are juxtaposed with striations of light which disturb the pictorial plane, creating the illusion of multiple spaces. Rejecting narration, the images are at once surreal and strangely evocative. Born in Berlin to American parents, she studied at the Universität der Künste in Berlin. Her work has been exhibited in Croatia, Israel, USA and Italy. She is held in the Simmons & Simmons, Lalux and Vattenfall collections among others.

As a communication tool, she tries to put the novelty in the familiarity on the way we see things and surroundings to trigger our common sense to combine with new information. In addition, she considers visitor’s spatial experience in different ways.

ANNEKE KLEIMANN, ARTIST

 

Anneke Kleimann’s sculptures materialize ephemeral phenomena like time, sound and movement. The sources of her sculptures are often measurable but not graspable. Out of these “real fictions”, through moulding processes, she develops subjective statements of notional models. She works with different materials like plastic, ceramic, paper and wood, as well as with sound. As an example, one of her sculptures perspectively transforms 0,057 seconds of the sound of the sea into a drawing in space.
Kleimann studied Fine Arts at the Hochschule für bildende Künste in Hamburg and at the École nationale supérieure des Beaux-Arts, Paris.
