Mikael Lo Presti (SE)

Mikael Lo Presti was born in Södra Sandby, Sweden in 1989. He lives and works in Stockholm. “I am not interested in making portraits of specific people. Hands is one way of adding human presence to the paintings. They can also guide how you perceive a painting. Sometimes I feel as if they are my own hands, other times they are more like background actors. I like that you see them as little sculptures!” – Mikael Lo Presti

Mikael Lo Presti (b. 1989, Södra Sandby, Sweden) lives and works in Stockholm, Sweden. Recent solo exhibitions include: Stormen kunst/dájdda (Bodø; NO), Heerz Tooya (Veliko Tarnovo; BG), STANDARD (OSLO) (Oslo; NO), Frankfurt am Main (Berlin; DE). The artist’s works are included in the collections of: Astrup Fearnley Museet (Oslo; NO), Christen Sveaas Art Foundation (Oslo; NO), Storebrand Art Collection (Oslo; NO).

Nina Beier (DK)

Contrasts and ruptures characterize Nina Beier’s work. She digs into cultural tropes to find things that are loaded with particularly problematic and layered stories, things that have undergone a transformation in terms of their intention, production, distribution, trading and use. Especially those objects that represent collapsed systems are unpacked by Beier, exposing the implicit economical and interpersonal power structures they perform. In doing so, she poses complex questions about the value and meaning of objects.

Nina Beier (b. 1975) lives in Copenhagen and Berlin. Solo exhibitions and commissions include The High Line, New York (2022); Spike Island, Bristol (2018) and Kunstverein Hamburg (2015). Recent group exhibitions include Lyon Biennial; Hammer Museum, Los Angeles (both 2022); São Paulo Biennal, Brazil (2021); the Riga Biennial, Latvia (2020); and YUZ Museum, Shanghai (2018). She is represented by Croy Nielsen, Vienna and STANDARD (OSLO), Oslo.
