ANNA BJERGER Born 1973, Skallsjö, Sweden. Lives and works in Sweden.

Anna Bjerger bases her paintings on forgotten photographic originals, and her work describes a balance between extremes. It contains the psychological content of the image and the physical aspects of the painting. The narrative evolves, arriving at new meanings through the language of painting. What rests in darkness is brought back into the light and through this, the perishable moment is extended.

Recent exhibitions include Gl. Holtegaard (DK) and Le Manoir (FR). Work by the artist is included in collections such as Moderna Museet (SE), Stedelijk Museum (NL), Louisiana Museum of Modern Art (DK), and SMK National Gallery of Denmark.

ANNA DANIELL Born 1978, Norway. Lives and works in Oslo.

She has previously exhibited at the Norwegian Sculpture Biennial (NO), Manifesta 11 (CH) Kunsthall Trondheim (NO), and Stavanger Kunstmuseum (NO).

EEVA KARHU Born 1980, Kirkkonummi, Finland. Lives and works in Helsinki.

Eeva Karhu uses the photographic process as a receptor for collecting the passage of time.

ELINA BROTHERUS Born 1972, Finland. Lives and works in Paris and Helsinki.

In works alternating between autobiographical and art-historical approaches, the photography of Finnish artist Elina Brotherus examines the relationship between the artist and the model, as well as between the human figure and the landscape. Brotherus frequently makes homages to other artists or artworks, for example by incorporating Fluxus Event scores and other written instructions for performance-oriented art of the 1950s70s, thereby making her own absurdly humourous renditions. Recent solo exhibitions include Sorø Art Museum (DK), National Gallery of Iceland (IS), Centre Pompidou, Paris (FR) Museum Hundertwasser, Vienna (AT), Centre pour la Photographie Contemporaine, Brussels (BE). Elina Brotherus is represented by Martin Asbæk Gallery in Copenhagen and Persons Projects in Berlin.

Harpa Árnadóttir’s known for her paintings, both those she calls “crack paintings” and those rendered in watercolour on paper and canvas.

This information becomes visible by extracting colour from the plants, which she uses to dye wool thread and silk fabric to make woven paintings and large scale silk installations.

Bjarnadóttir has held many solo exhibitions internationally and in Iceland including at Reykjavík Art Museum (IS), Soft Galleri (NO), and Trøndelag Center for Contemporary Art (NO).
