Harrison Pearce (UK)
Similar perhaps to Mel Bochner’s early 1960s installations, where readymade systems of measurement and language and their limited ability to explain and describe an object were put to the test, Pearce’s ongoing exploration of the mechanics of measurement, using the grammar of painting and sculpture as his vehicle, poses many open-ended propositions. It is possible he shares a similar aim to Bochner, whose intention was that “art could go from being the record of someone else’s perception to becoming the recognition of your own".

Georg Nordmark (SE)
Evoking movements, bites, claws and sniffs, Georg Nordmark’s conceptual sculptures take as their point of departure the objects used in the caretaking and handling of incarcerated animals. By bringing these elements into the art space, he seeks to investigate themes of behaviourism, discipline and enrichment.
Georg Nordmark (b. 1994, Gothenburg; SE) lives and works in Berlin. He holds a BFA and MFA from the Royal Institute of Art Stockholm. Recent exhibitions include shows at Carl Kostyál | Hospitalet, Stockholm, Galleri Mejan, Stockholm; Issues Gallery, Stockholm; Inter.pblc gallery, Copenhagen; Royal Institute of Art Stockholm.
