Lutz Bacher From her recent exhibition at Ratio 3. “…Her newer work is more polished, but equally weird: hundreds of light, bouncy, black rubber balls roll around the concrete floor; framed prints of nebulae are spaced widely apart on the walls; a very dark and shiny image of waiting-until-marriage abstinence vampire Robert Pattinson hangs drearily [...]

Gabriele Beveridge Work from her oeuvre. “…Locations normally seen out of the corner of the eye. The happy themes of advertising removed to a slightly off centre context, where the falseness in the smile becomes foregrounded.

Theo Michael Work from Scholars in Space (and Smoke from the edge of the Known). “Michael works with the idea of time like a builder and destroyer of space: while in the present we erect thoughtful monuments for posterity, the future condemns them to destruction and the void.
