- Jakup Auce
Born 1979 in USA. Works and lives in Brussels.
Jakup Auce is profoundly intrigued by the portraying of the visage and the narratives of character-making, generating series of personages that wander inside a retro sci-fi, from glam to cryogenisation, around a theatre of living mechanical puppets. An army of beautiful monsters are the fable of the artist and his surroundings: the embryonic sexuality of nature as the social construct of identity - ?Pas pour ceux qui ont pris les cockrings pour des ronds des serviettes?. Auce has exhibited in In Extenso (FR), Komplot (BE), Inside 15 (BE), Island (BE) and IMT Gallery (UK); he is represented by Nosbaum Reding and Trampoline.
- Wojciech Bakowski
Born 1979 in Poland. Works and lives in Warsaw.
Wojciech Bakowski graduated from fine arts academy in Poznan. His work has been shown (among others) in New Museum, New York in 2009, Schmela Haus, Kunstsammlung Nordhein-Westfalen, Dusseldorf in 2012, Museum Morsbroich, Leverkusen in 2013, MSN (Museum of Modern Art) Warsaw in 2013. Apart from being visual artist, he is also a poet and a musician (KOT, Niwea). Word, sound and image are Bakowski's basic vocabulary and hence occassionaly become the content of his work. He is represented by Galeria Stereo.
- Aline Bouvy
Born 1974 in Brussels. Works and lives in Brussels.
Aline Bouvy does speak about anal retention as the main disfunction of today's society; she's obviously referring to the normalisation and extended conformity within the rules that veil and forbid sex. Instead of bending to this parameters, she concentrates her work around the desire drive, creating images that emulate an anus and a mouth, the hand grabbing the penis or an archeological chance of arrangement. The main goal here is not provocation, nor mere composition, but the continuous flow of the liquid-saliva-style that is the very consistent language of Bouvy. Her last solo exhibitions include NICC (BE) and EAP Vénissieux (FR). Her work has been exhibited at Le Confort Moderne (FR), IMT Gallery (UK), Parallel / Oaxaca (MX) and Island (BE).
- Artist profile
- Laurie Charles
Born 1987 in Belgium. Works and lives in Brussels.
Laurie Charles graduated from the School of Fine Arts in Bordeaux, France. Charles video-works stage friends, actors, curators and artists in a game of multiple references framed within her sculptural installations. Those narrative films are frequently contextualised inside site-specific scenographic environments made for the gallery; objects turn alive within Charles’ videos through a process of humanisation: using voices to draw absurd and polysemic dialogues. High and low, counter-culture or philosophy gather in a large pop and folk multiple faced discourse; all that research contained in a practice that meets DIY, amateurism in video and a certain “degenerated craftsmanship”. Between other venues, her work has been exhibited at Komplot (BE), Le Commissariat (FR), Villa Arson (FR) and Triangle (FR).
- Michael Debatty
Born 1988 in Liège, BE. Lives and works in Brussels.
Recently he presented a duo exhibition with artist Noah Barker at Exo Exo, Paris, curated by Exo Exo and Galerie Lodos Mexico. Other solo exhibitions include «Fantasy Bureau» at Galerie Central, Liège.
He has also participated in group exhibitions such as «Won't You Come And Spoon With Me» at Damien & The Love Guru, Brussels; «That Feeling» curated by Domenico de Chirico at Eduardo Secci contemporary, Florence (IT); «Les sept périls spectraux» and «Berlin Est» at Galerie Arnaud Deschin, Paris; «RAVI Open Studio» curated by Xavier Mary at Résidences-Ateliers Vivegnis International, Liège; Group Show at Galerie Central, Liège and «FFEMECBLOT» at Clovis XV, Brussels.
- Vava Dudu
Born 1970s in France. Works and lives between Paris and Berlin.
Vava Dudu is a parisian figure with one hand over Berlin. Her work deals with poetry and a very personal post-cubist approach to drawing, she writes and draws on any support available and as a decadent glam-rock star, after the wall she will continue painting on her face. The language of Dudu's work presents a completely developed chart of recurrent signs: the Eiffel Tower surrounded by long breasts, hearts and crying faces with widely open mouths. Her work is a candid song for the desperation of the contemporary urban life. Dudu is the leader singer in the neo-punk band La Chatte, she has exhibited her clothes in showrooms around Europe and her catwalks are an an- them to the underground. Her work has been presented in mayor group exhibitions and performances in Palais de Tokyo (FR), Le Confort Moderne (FR) and Komplot (BE).

- Mariah Garnett
Born 1980 in USA. Works and lives in Los Angeles.
Mariah Garnett's work is rooted in re-interpreting found texts, using desire as an access point. Broadly defining "text", her subjects range from the written word to actual people. The boundaries of adaptation, documentary and fiction are continually being drawn and re-drawn in her work. Screenings include: REDCAT, White Columns, SF MoMA, Venice Biennial (Swiss Offsite Pavillion), Rencontres Internationales (Paris, Madrid, Berlin, Beirut), Midway Contemporary Art (USA), Ann Arbor Film Festival (DE).

- Emma Hart
Born 1974 in UK. Works and lives in London.
Emma Hart believes there is a gap between how things are experienced and how they might look photographed. The overwhelming real we stumble through is split from the way digital culture references it, then smoothes it all over. Life looks good in images, or if not good, far away enough for us to manage and control. Sculpture, most recently ceramics, provides a way to physically corrupt and 'dirty' images and forcefully squeeze more life out of them. Clay provides a way to work behind pictures, and reveal the raw, crude state of things that images screen off. Recent solo exhibitions include Folkestone Triennial 2014 (UK), Camden Arts Centre (UK), Whitstable Biennale 2012 (UK), Matt’s Gallery (UK) and Norwich and CIRCA Projects (UK). Her work was recently included in group exhibitions at Wysing Arts Centre (UK), OHWOW Gallery (USA), Mead Gallery (UK) and Modern Art Oxford (UK). Hart was awarded a Random Acts commission for The Jarman Awards 2013. Hart was resident at Camden Arts Centre and at Wysing Arts Centre. She received an MA in Fine Art from the Slade in 2004 and completed her PhD in Fine Art at Kingston University in 2013. Upcoming exhibitions include solo presentations at Laboratorio Arte Alameda (MX) and Grand Union (UK).
- Germaine Hoffmann
Born 1930 in Luxembourg. Works and lives in Luxembourg.
After having been a good house wife for three decades, Germaine Hoffmann decided to not become a dissatisfied old lady and went on to study various techniques at innumerable summer school courses and evening classes between 1968 and 1998 in Luxembourg. Her technique evolved from newspaper collages into her very own technique involving a mix of collage and paint on wood, sanded and varnished in multiple layers to arrive at a immaculately slick and yet deeply textured image?object. She never tires to experiment with new found ideas and objects, turning household objects reminiscent of her pre-described role as a woman born in the 30s into powerful images of presence, there-ness and solitude, one example of this being a series of plastic table covers re-used as drip catchers for her varnished collages and then re-worked and re-used to become large scale images themselves. Her work sits within the realm of emotional abstraction, with geometric and seemingly coincidental outlines of bodies or vases as her only hint at figurative representation. Germaine Hoffmann has exhibited extensively within Luxembourg and has been in group as well as solo shows in Germany, Hungary, Sweden, France, Belgium, Italy, Netherlands and Poland.
- Markus Hoffmann
Born 1982 in Passau. Lives and works in Berlin.
In his work Markus Hoffmann focuses on concepts concerning the observer, the antropocenic time they are living in and their abilities and limits in relating to their surroundings. The resulting projects are shown internationally and have been supported by several awards, grants and residencies. His work includes a versatile spectrum of media, spanning from conceptual photography to time-based sculptures and installational work. Markus Hoffmann's work addresses notions of time, place, personal history and collective memory. Set against a methodological backdrop, his works vacillate between art, science and architecture.
- Sophie Jung
Born 1982 in Luxembourg. Works and lives in Basel and London.
Sophie Jung studied at the Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam (BA Fine Art) and at Goldsmiths, London (MFA Fine Art). Her practice addresses representation and its pitfalls, both culturally as a system of disguised and shifting signs and personally as a way to track and record life. She regularly negotiates between form and affect, pragmatism and romance, between scrutinizing accuracy and magical awe. She has a deep trust in temporary definitions, plays with concepts packed into words, objects or facial expressions, shifting their assumed meaning from work to work to sentence to song. Her position is on the apronproscenium, the pre-stage, as a fluid messenger between reception and production of timelined purport. Her work is strict, slick and abstract as well as emotionally involved, performative and overly literal; the intersection of form, structure and rhythm with the messy, perturbed and oddly sentimental is the underlying tone in her work, be it video, performance, sculpture, text or photography.
Recent projects and exhibitions include Äppärät at Ballroom Marfa, Eh, co - Nah cis. Us! at Kunsthalle Basel for Jungs, Hier Kommt der Masterplan and Uncanny Valley at Wysing Art Centre, Cambridge, UK. Future projects include a reading with Fiktion: New Writing Group at ICA, London, a new performance for Art16, curated by Nicoletta Lambertucci, the Transversal Writing Seminar at the School of Architecture, KTH Stockholm as well as Poetry off the Page (working title) curated by Frances Loeffler at Oakville Galleries, Ontario this June.
In 2015 Sophie has spent 6 months in New York at ISCP, courtesy of the Edward Steichen Award Luxembourg, which she received in 2013. In March 2016 she was awarded the LEAP - the Luxembourg Encouragment for Artists Prize.
- Dorota Jurczak
Born 1978 in Poland. Works and lives in Stuttgart.
Dorota Jurczak's macabre and fantastical works combine influences from folklore and mythology, along with inventions of her own imagination. The figures in her work are predominantly indebted to Eastern European iconography and exist in darkly whimsical dream-worlds, surrounded by anthropomorphic animals, creeping woods, hair and all manner of deformed creatures. Jurczak's highly stylised works are like fragments of an ongoing surreal narrative that starts and stops without needing to make any sense. She has been featured in numerous international exhibitions, including the 2006 Seville and Berlin biennales. Jurczak has also presented her work at the Tate Modern (UK), Van Abbemuseum (NL); Kunstraum Walcheturm (CH), CAPC Musée d'art Contemporain (FR) and MMA PS1 (USA). She is represented by Corvi Mora.
- Sam Lipp
Born in UK. Works and lives in Chicago
Sam Lipp is an artist. It also co-directs Queer Thoughts, an art gallery in Chicago. Recent exhibitions include My Hamster Cage, a solo show at Bodega, New York, and Feeling Languid, a two-person show with Luis Miguel Bendaña at Malraux's Place, Brooklyn. It is also working on a line of men's tube tops. It is represented by Bodega.
- Fabian Marti
Born 1979 in Switzerland. Works and lives in Zürich.
Fabian Marti studied at the University of Applied Sciences and Arts in Zurich (HGKZ), Department of Photography. In 2008, Marti visited the Mountain School of Arts in Los Angeles. On one level Fabian Marti's photograms and ceramics relate strongly to formalism, abstraction and op art. However, the artist is further interested in the sensations related to a loss of control and the access to the subconscious. Between other venues, he has exhibited solo in Kunstverein Braunschweig (DE), Kunstmuseum Winterthur (CH), Swiss Institute (USA) and Istituto Svizzero di Roma (IT). His group shows include Bank Julius Bär & Co. (CH), Dumont Foundation (USA) Kunsthaus Zürich (CH); Parasol Unit Foundation for Contemporary Art (UK), Walter Bechtler Stiftung (CH) and Zabludowicz Collection (UK). He is represented by Peter Kilchmann.
- Wobbe Micha
Born 1985 in Belgium. Works and lives in Brussels.
Wobbe Micha centres his work in the gesture of object-making, the importance of the sculpture laying on "the hand over the surface". Micha graduated from the fine arts programme at Sint-Lukas Brussels in 2008. In 2012 attended Lucy McKenzie's class at the academy of Düsseldorf. He was in residence at WIELS (BE) and in Cité des Arts (FR). His work has exhibited in WIELS (BE), Sint-Lukas Gallery (BE), __(SIC) (BE), Galerie Van der Mieden (BE) and Maison Particulière (BE).
- Jenny Moore
Born in Canada. Works and lives in London.
Jenny Moore is an artist and musician; she makes live events and installations where sculpture and performance meet, using music and comedy as way of exploring the 'now,' and collaboration as a way of making the 'now' happen. She plays in the all-female, all-drum band Charismatic Megafauna and performs with the art collective Gandt, who make events, performances, and dinner parties. Currently, she is the producer and host of You can't win them all, ladies and gentlemen, a live, travelling radio show exploring the insane neo-liberal demands that artists be everything to everyone. Recent performances include Library Gallery (CA), Wysing Music Festival (UK), Victoria & Albert Museum (UK). Other recent projects: Almanac Projects (UK), Tate Modern (UK), South London Gallery (UK), Hayward Gallery (UK), LA Pedestrians (USA), Bergen Kunsthalle (NO), and the Printed Matter New York Art Book Fair (USA). She went to art school twice, in Winnipeg and London.
- Kenneth Andrew Mroczek
Born 1981 in USA. Works and lives in Brussels.
Kenneth Andrew Mroczek has an object-mediated connection to Nature, granting a capital interest to the social tale that is inherent to architecture with projects such as ?Opa-Tisha-Wocka-Locka? and ?Y?$ I See Stars?. A pretty amount of attention is given to the soul, as if the exhibition room could contain a healing handful of energy; this is not a question of shamanism, but more of a review of a list of aesthetic codes: from handicraft to neo-hippie. He has produced several artist books, frequently collaborating with other artists, such as Anne Daems, Harrell Fletcher, Dan Graham.... Mroczek has exhibited solo at Mehrwert Aachen (DE), Wolfsonian-FIU (USA), Elisa Platteau (BE), Komplot (BE); his work was included in group exhibitions at Galerie Emmanuel Perrotin (FR), Objectif Exhibitions (BE) and MOCA Miami (USA) between other venues.
- Clare Noonan
Born 1982 in New Zealand. Works and lives in Brussels.
Clare Noonan seeks to excavate and activate stories dissolved by history?s narratives. Working in parallel to Western pictorial traditions of landscape, Clare uses precise combination artist-made and collected sculptural objects, photographic images, event and documentation as vehicles to re-access, re-experience, re-stage, identify, imagine. Clare graduated from Ilam School of Fine Arts (NZ) in 2004 and is a recent laureate of HISK, Higher Institute for Fine Arts (BE). Clare was awarded the Olivia Spencer Bower Foundation Art Award (NZ) in 2009 and has exhibited works and projects in Belgium, the Netherlands, Spain, France, at the recent 5th Marrakech Biennale and throughout New Zealand in Govett-Brewster and Artspace. Clare is a member of the collaboration All the Cunning Stunts (since 2010). She is represented by Motive Gallery.
- Jurgen Ots
Born 1978 in Belgium. Lives and works between Rome, Warsaw and Brussels.
Jurgen Ots' work, lingering on the border between sculpture, installation and printing, is generated under the Alchemist motto Solve et Coagula, dissolve and coagulate, break down and reassemble. The resulting visual language consists a physical, tactile aspect stemming from the treatment of ultimately tangible material on the one hand and a representation of ephemeral elements on the other. These opposing parts enter into a dialogue in order to form an illusionary synthesis in a psychological context. Through repetitive actions and extensive ways of manipulation, exploring the boundaries of the image, the material is transformed and worn out into an image that is no longer a representation but a frozen object in time. Between other venues, his work has been exhibited in Witte de With (NL), Extra City Kunsthall (BE), Brussels Biennial (BE), Fundación Botín (ES), MASS MoCA Massachusetts (USA), Stereo (PL) and Gallery Isabella Bortolozzi (DE); he is represented by Elisa Platteau and Galleria Zero.
- Jaakko Pallasvuo
Born 1987 in Finland. Works and lives in Helsinki and Berlin

In recent years Pallasvuo's works have been exhibited at Kunsthalle St. Gallen, New Galerie, CAC Vilnius, 1646, The Goss-Michael Foundation, Kunstraum Kreuzberg/Bethanien, UCCA, Eyebeam and Future Gallery, among others.
- Carl Palm
Born 1980 in Sweden. Works and lives in Stockholm.
Carl Palm builds polyhedral discourses generated form conversations between objects of plural nature. The concept of "mixed media" finds here a clearer sense through his approach to objects: it considers relations of resemblance and contrast inside the exhibition room, the changing significance of the goods through changes and displacement, and the sculpture´s own memory. Not that far from animism, Palm approaches a wide sculptural practice from a post-curatorial behaviour, researching the inner capacity of the objects to interact inside the white-cube, being specially sensitive to their previous story outside the museum. His recent and upcoming exhibitions include: MACBA (ES), Casa do Povo (BR), Inter Arts Center (SE), CAC (LT), Finnish Institute (SE), Galeri Invaliden 1 (DE), Komplot (BE) and the 12th Istanbul Biennale (TR).

Born 1988 in South Africa. Works and lives in Johannesburg and London.
Abri de Swardt studied and taught at Stellenbosch University, before receiving his MFA from Goldsmiths, University of London, in 2014. Through various modes of collage, his work explores fantasies of digitization and forms of amnesia in relation to the figure of the ghost, the tumblrification of knowledge and erotohistiography in ways at once occult and baroque. He has held solo exhibitions at Blank Projects (ZA) and MOT International Projects (UK). Group shows include the IV Moscow International Biennale for Young Art (RU), the Cooper Gallery (UK, forthcoming), Kappa Theta Phi (USA), Unseen Photo Fair (NL) and the US Museum (ZA).

- Alice Theobald
Born 1985 in UK. Works and lives in London.
Alice Theobald creates live performance, video, installation and music to actively explore the devision between stage and life and the discrepancy between expression, appearance and feeling. Borrowing from the vocabulary of cinema, television, theatre, literature and musical scores, Theobald is interested in the make-up and construction of performance, the challenges of acting and the blurring of character creation on and off stage whilst circling questions of representation, manipulation and genuine behaviour. Layered wordplay, gesture, repetition and double-entendres accumulate to multi-faceted compositions that reflect and loop back on themselves as fabricated truths about relationships, neurosis and everyday life. She graduated from the Royal Academy Schools in 2014 and is currently undertaking The Future Autumn Residency at Wysing Arts Centre. In February of 2014 she presented I’ve said yes now, that’s it. for the Chisenhale Gallery’s Interim programme. In 2013 she completed the Gasworks, London International Performance Residency. Selected performances, exhibitions and film screenings include: South London Gallery (UK), Outpost (UK), Gasworks (UK), P/N Gallery, Spike Island (UK), Modern Art Oxford (UK), Baro Galeria (BR), V22 (UK) and Pilar Corrias (UK). She is represented by Pilar Corridas.

- Adrien Vescovi
Born 1981 in France. Works and lives in Paris.
Adrien Vescovi makes paintings by exposing multiple fabrics to outdoor conditions; the weather then causes several processes on the textile: like Sun-whitening and ripping, and dye will drop and leak in between fabrics. Time makes paintings, or might the Earth have made the paintings? We are the new hippies, is a nice way to say it. Adrien crafts the stretcher for his paintings, that now include elements of carpentry, such as the hinges of a window or a door; there is a bench from where to look at the painting. Hugs.
Adrien?s recent solo exhibitions include Tripode (Nantes), Glass Box (Paris) and Galerie TORRI (Paris). His work was featured in group shows at Galerie Jeanroch Dard (Brussels), Galerie Jean Fournier (Paris), Galerie Edouard Manet (Paris) and Performa (New York).
