Madeleine Anderson

Madeleine Andersson is a Copenhagen-based artist whose work focuses on policy research. Combining the concepts of “body of flesh” and “body of knowledge”, she uses tools such as intuition and morphology to solve any problem arising from a persistent attachment to modern structures. Madeleine Andersson has notably exhibited her works at the Kunsthal Charlottenborg and the Nikolaj Kunsthal Center in Denmark, at the Accelerator and at the Färgfabriken in Sweden and at the SMAK in Belgium

Sara Perovic

Born in 1984 in Croatia, Sara Perovic is a photographer and architect based in Berlin. Her photographic work is driven by her interests in spatial perception, abstraction, repetitiveness and a sense of self. Her body of work focuses on textures (“Palmeral”, 2017), depicts the invisible (“Bura”, 2015) and shows the fragility of nature with ethereal photos (“I was there”, 2015). Her latest project (“My Father’s Legs” , 2020) is a mix of concept and emotion, stretching the boundaries between conceptual art and art therapy.

In 2020, her book “My Father’s Legs” was selected for the Rencontres d’Arles Author’s Book Prize and the Aperture/Paris Photo First Book Prize. Among several personal and collective exhibitions, she founded and directed the fanzine aTree, which promotes young photographers.

Andy Picci is a conceptual artist. His work explores the construction of identity, social networks and the quest for one’s own identity in our hyper-digital age. His work has been exhibited in international galleries and art institutions such as the Museum Der Bildenden Künste in Leipzig, the Magasins Généraux in Paris, the Kœnig Galerie in Berlin, the CADAF (Crypto & Digital Art Fair) and the OÖ Art in Linz.
