Curated for
CHART

For CHART 2023, Galleri Susanne Ottesen is delighted to present a group exhibition of works by Morten Buch (DK), Jiri Georg Dokoupil (CZ), Andreas Eriksson (SE), Pablo Jansana (CL), Marie Søndergaard Lolk (DK), and Nina Nowak (PL/DE) which explore (re)connection, (re)construction and (re)interpretation. Comprising print, painting, and assemblage, the works on view will examine how we perceive reality; how we respond to our environment; how visual language(s) can communicate when images accumulate, layer, fracture, or are erased or covered. Situated at the border where abstraction and figuration meet, Buch, Dokoupil, Eriksson, Jansana, Lolk, and Nowak embrace dualities, presenting innately human yet elusive, transforming or otherworldly works.

Nina Nowak (DE/PL)

In her artistic practice, Nina Nowak explores the relationship between animate and inanimate matter. Nowak is especially drawn to what she refers to as the “borderlands” that distinguish between living and non-living matter. Informed by anthropology, literature, history and biology, Nowak has developed a practice that is at once research based and materially dedicated. The installation as a functional set-up for different processes of material transformation, and the functional object as an extension of the human body, are recurring themes in her work.

Nina Nowak (b. 1984, Poznan; PL) lives and works between Belin, Germany and Copenhagen, Denmark. In 2018, Nowak was awarded a one-year grant by Stiftung Kunstfonds Bonn. In 2017, the Ministry of Culture and Science of the State of North-Rhine Westphalia supported her work with an individual working grant. The artist is represented in the collection of Horsens Kunstmuseum, Denmark.
