INA SANGENSTEDT, ARTIST
A central theme in Ina Sangenstedt's work is the common denominator between different kinds of creatures which are extremely similar on the one hand, but at the same time strongly differ from each other. She is interested in the animal, particularly with regard to its potential as symbol of society and culture. Animals play an important part in a variety of contexts to which the artist refers and whose language of form she quotes. By doing so, she creates cult objects which proclaim the exhibition space as a secular space of cult, in which people strive to find their faith as well as satisfy their yearning.

FIENE SCHARP, ARTIST
Fiene Scharp studied Fine Arts at UdK Berlin with Gregor Schneider and participated in numerous exhibitions in museums and galleries in Europe, North America and Southwest Asia. She has received several awards and scholarships. Her works are represented in public collections such as Staatliche Museen zu Berlin or Kunstmuseum Stuttgart. Patterns and serial structures are basic elements of her work, which merges them into a fine gridwork of lines. The manual process leads to a minimal unevenness of otherwise strict patterns and grids. Against this background, for example, delicately rastered paper cut drawings hanging freely in the room show their ambivalence between graphic and sculpture.

TANJA SELZER, ARTIST
Writing about sexuality and sensuality," says Anaïs Nin, "has nothing to do with pornography. For me, writing erotica is wild poetry." The same is true of Tanja Selzer's painting. She, too, is interested in the voyeuristic gaze of a society that, however, rarely openly admits to it. The artist's painting style is also poetic. The softly applied, light colors create a melancholy that envelops the viewer and establishes an intimate closeness. Her mostly large-format works appear like snapshots, revealing that films are her main source of inspiration. Tanja Selzer's works are exhibited internationally and are represented in public and private collections. The artist lives and works in Berlin.

ANNA TSIANOU, VISUAL ARTIST
Artifacts and actions and reasoning associated with them, are the main subject of my work. By Modifying, rearranging or duplicating objects, images or symbols I create and shape cryptic vocabularies of symbols or carriers of encoded Information. The Artifacts so created are fictitious, their forms are only apparently carrying codes. The apparent evidence of information they carry is thereby questioned. Their perception and interpretation by the on viewer is crystallized and made tangible.

JULIA LIA WALTER, ARTIST
Julia Lia Walter's works are composed out of painting and video projections. Videos are projected onto paintings in such a way that it is barely visible where the painting ends and the video starts. The artist dissolves the boundaries of the media by creating connections through colours and forms. The cinematic sequences can be read as a commentary to the painting. All videos are screened in a loop, thus inviting the beholder to dwell in the endless presence of the video-projection-paintings.

The conceptual nature of her abstract paintings is evident in her sculptural use of PE film. Enhancing a remarkable oscillation of spatial awareness it points to a key issue in her work by exploring the different possibilities of the spatial conditions we move in and the images we create of these.
