Beyond performance, Mette Sterre’s universes transcend into digital technologies, speculative environments, and sculptural body masks. Sterre imagines what else we could be by materially and ideologically upending the human contour. In these contexts, bodies and stories not only highlight their limitations but also show how much can be revealed in the process of being in change. Playful and captivating, their art poses concerns about knowledge, control, or systemic forces.Mette Sterre has exhibited work at Manifesta 14 Prishtina, Amsterdam; Museum Of Modern and Contemporary Art Changdong, Seoul; and The Watermill Center, New York, among others.
Sarah McNulty is a Copenhagen-based artist. She holds an MFA from the Slade School of Fine Art, London & BA from Georgetown University. In her practice she explores the contingent nature of painting, often shifting into public spaces, making use of overseen architectural sites as framework. She is the director of the exhibition space Tørreloft, AGA Works, which she co-founded in 2015.
Neil Keith Baker is a British born peripatetic artist currently living and working in New York. He holds an MA from Slade School of Fine Art, London and a BA from Norwich School of Art and Design, UK. His primary practice is in painting with occasional excursions in to sculptural, installation and written work. In all forms he is concerned with how language is built from the ground up and how the space between producer and receiver leaves a space for creative interpretation and exchange.
Elisabeth Molin’s work addresses the periphery of spaces and the edges of our human made world through performances, installation, video and writing.
