Their works negotiate in different ways questions about transforming identities, migration, inner and outer landscapes, as well as the relationship between humans and nature in times of the Anthropocene. Self-consciously, they demand space, they create surfaces of encounter and fields of tension with each other and with the viewers. Materiality plays an important role in their work: from thin thread to solid concrete – each of the selected raw materials is skillfully used and reflected.![]()

The exhibition brings the three artistic positions together and relates them to each other. Here, points of contact and exchange as well as contrasts are made visible. Process, ritual as well as tireless repetition are in the foreground: critically and consciously citing the perception of women* in the art world.![]()

Jessica Arseneau explores the way human perception and subjectivity is shaped by social codes, patterns of behaviour, accelerating culture and technological progress. She works with video, performance, print, and text to create environments that allude to a poetic space between consciousness and the unconscious. Her current work focuses on the phenomena of sleep and insomnia in a 24/7 world.

The exploration of these questions usually serves as the starting point for Siri Wirtensohn's artistic practice, and through them the work emerges into the outcomes between installation, sculpture and performance. The immediate context is always incorporated, as it has an enormous influence on impact and effectiveness. An approach that relies on both mental and physical perception can intensify our experience and create an atmospheric environment in which tensions and content can also be experienced physically. ![]()
