Jakob Anckarsvärd’s work explores the anti aesthetic element that occurs when the calculated and irrational line meet. If the structures leave the paper, the work aims to reflect problematic situations. These situations vary from phenomena in everyday life to more extreme circumstances. He has also been exploring psychological and mythological aspects of life-brought into focus through his work in a mental hospital. Jakob will show a new sculptural work made of flowers and inspired by the recurring themes of tragedy and grief.

 

 

Emma Greenwood also creates installations that are temporary and unique. Too complex to be reconstructed, her ‘displays’ are part of an ongoing process and the parts will be absorbed back into future work in different roles and contexts. She is fascinated with processes of accumulation and will use found objects to manipulate and colonise the space.
