Hanna Schwarz Hanna Schwarz’s installations of films, sculptures and drawings bring together the forms and motifs of modernism and minimalism with choreographic elements of postmodern dance, and place them into new contexts. Her work revolves around body politics, deconstruction of architectural structures, and the relationship between body and space. Her installations are characterized by fragility and a deliberate sketchiness. They address issues of enactment and the reliability of the performative gesture and are more likely to be seen as states or frozen pending motions, than as a static setting. Her work was recently exhibited in the ICA in London, Migromuseum in Zurich, Kunsthalle Schirn in Frankfurt, Badischer Kunstverein Karlsruhe, and others. She is represented by the Galleries Dépendance in Brussels and Nagel/ Draxler in Berlin.

Antonella Ferrari Italian born, London based artist Antonella Ferrari studied Fine Art at Central St Martins College, where she achieved a BA in 2003 and an MA in 2010. Inspired by memories and autobiographical events Antonella’s works become delicate introspections, which aim to create an intimate response in the viewer. Beyond an apparent simplicity, these works hide something more ambiguous and un-resolved, perhaps a trauma or a personal enquiry. Antonella employs different mediums to express her concepts, from photography to video and sound installations. Often creating immersive and site-specific works, she guides the viewer through a journey of intimate and melancholic experiences. antonellaferrari.com
