Carola Eggeling
Profile: Carola Eggeling 🔲 (Germany)
“The three-dimensionality of the objects offers the viewer the opportunity to rediscover and interpret them again and again. It is a particularly surprising characteristic of the sculptures that they always give a different picture from the hundreds of vantage points that the viewer can take.”
Robin Tarbet
Profile: Robin Tarbet 🔲 (United Kingdom)
“Tarbet's practice is concerned with the physical materiality of everyday technology. Robin assumes the role of a folk science explorer, which leads him to dismantle, dissect, and distort everyday technologies and appliances. His work combines two–dimensional media, photography, printmaking and live film with three-dimensional sculptural assemblages.”
Işıl Kapu
Profile: Işıl Kapu 🔲 (Turkey)
“Kapu focuses on social pressures, the vulnerability of the individuals and the constraints on the body by the authority, and the psychological effects of these. She constructs them by searching for the opposite formal elements such as mass and line, space and fullness, part and whole relations.”
