Sylvie Fleury (CH)

Engaging with the mechanics of materialistic desire, aesthetics and the construction of value, Sylvie Fleury’s sleek, alluring works provide a lens through which contemporary politics of gender, beauty and consumerism can be re-evaluated. Her artistic practice, which spans sculpture, performance, installation, and painting, frequently employs materials and processes associated with early Conceptualism, Pop art and Minimalism. She is renowned for using readymade objects such as cars, neons, makeup-pallets or shopping bags, which are transformed by their inclusion in an art context, allowing viewers to see them in a new light.

Sylvie Fleury (b. 1961, Geneva; CH) lives and works in Geneva. Selected solo and group exhibitions include: Kunstraum Dornbirn, Dornbirn (AT); Istituto Svizzero, Rome (IT); Villa Stuck, Munich (DE); Eternity Now, as part of the permanent collection at the Bass Museum, Miami (US); Centro de arte contemporaneo de Malága, Malaga (ES); and MAMCO Genève, Geneva (CH).

Esben Weile Kjær (DK)

Spanning sculpture, video and performance, Esben Weile Kjær’s work draws on the history of pop culture and pop music to investigate themes of nostalgia, authenticity, and generational anxiety. In an attentive though reckless visual language, he investigates today’s event economy, often focusing on marketing tactics and the aesthetics of the entertainment industry - mainly to consider art’s relationship to its surrounding cultural industries. As such, his work not only attempts to mimic other cultural modes of performance, but to become a form of performative pop culture in itself.

Esben Weile Kjær (b. 1992, Aarhus; DK) lives and works in Copenhagen. He graduated from the Rhythmic Music Conservatory in Music Management (Copenhagen, DK) in 2015 and the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts (Copenhagen, DK) in 2022. His practice involves different media such as sculpture, video, and performance. Esben Weile Kjær has performed at several European art institutions and festivals, including: Berghain, Berlin (DE); the Center Pompidou, Paris (FR); the Museum Tinguely, Basel (CH).

Martin Brandt Hansen (GL)

Martin Brandt Hansen works primarily in sculpture and installation, with a significant style that stems from his Greenlandic origin. In his works, he explores the mythology from Inuit culture, that can be seen in his interpretation of the classic tupilaq figure, where he challenges and explores the traditional scales and materials. The objects in Brandt Hansen’s works range from his sculptural interpretations of traditional Inuit artifacts to a representation of imported manufactured objects from Greenland - showing the classic iconography of western mass culture and its influence.

Martin Brandt Hansen (b. 1990) was born in Nuuk, Greenland, but has lived in Copenhagen for several years. He has a master’s degree from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. He works with both Western mass culture and art history, mythology from Inuit culture and anthropological and ethnographic methods.
