Tatjana Busch
The contradiction between planning and intuition, structure and deconstruction, even and curved surface, accurately applied color and decomposition accounts for the tension and fascination in the works of Tatjana Busch. Repeatedly, she breaks with her originally strictly reduced pictorial language in the course of the creation of her objects. She begins with stern graphic and geometrical shapes like the circle, the rectangle and the triangle. Then she bursts open these forms via alteration of the surface in the third dimension from which arise completely different, manifold shapes for the eye of the spectator, dependent on his perspective in the approach of the respective art work. Busch is represented by Gallery Brigitte Henninger, Seefeld; and Gallery Pop Art Pirat, Hamburg; Gallery Abtart, Stuttgart.

Anindita Dutta
‘[The]…most significant trait in Anindita Dutta’s art practice: its nuanced intensified presence that is propelled by a carefully calibrated set of mutually exclusive factors or conditions.’ ( Dominique Nahas) Anindita Dutta is well known for her unique use of clay as visual vocabulary in her performances. Dutta, recipient of UNESCO bursary, Pollock-Krasner grant and residency grant of Museum of Asian Art in Japan, has had many solo exhibitions in New York City and India including at Sakshi Gallery.
Past Resident2010: Hanmi Foundation of Arts and Culture
Sang-Hyun Lee
‘Lee positions himself as an exile, witness or an actor in his video and photography work. In doing so he creates a cultural meshing, a mapping of digital, conceptual zones and geographies thereby transposing political and sexual identities that combine to unravel his construction. He borrows from ancient scholarly literature and mythological stories-substituting himself as exiled or displaced from the society in a photographic space or video.’ (Yu Yeon Kim, catalogue for Mediations Biennale)
