John Kørner
John Kørner works with ’problems’ as an omnipresent phenomenon in his work. His approach to this phenomenom is to comment on existing dilemmas with his soft, poetic paintings, which when viewed more closely, have a strong dramatic undertone. Kørner mainly works on canvas, but also with ceramics and other materials to form extensive installation works. His latest installation Caught, which is still on view at the Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, is a comment on the way museums seem to capture and hold art and viewers as prisoners.
John Kørner lives and works in Copenhagen. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 1998. His work has recently been shown in Denmark, England, Germany, the USA and France among others. His paintings are part of collections worldwide including: ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum; the Museum of Modern Art, Ishøj; Frederik VII’s Palace, Amalienborg, Copenhagen; National Gallery of Denmark, Copenhagen; Tate Gallery, London; The Saatchi Collection, London; The Rubell Family Collection, Miami and the Wilfreid Cooreman Collection.

Claire Moeder
Claire Moeder is interested in the history of exhibitions. Her articles, exhibition reviews and research are all means of examining that which goes into making a uniquely rich exhibition. Her fascination for words along with an inclination toward long perambulations through museums have led her to write about the complexity of the museum space. She has preserved a particular interest for those artists who appropriate the exhibition and turn it into their own field of play. Her recent curatorial work is guided by a spirit of close collaboration with artists and by a curiosity for works that enable her to preserve and sustain a child’s gaze.
Claire Moeder is a Montreal-based curator, author and critic. She earned a master’s degree from the Art History and Curatorial program at University of Rennes, France. She has covered art exhibitions for the online magazine Ratsdeville since 2010 and has also published several articles for journals in Quebec (Zone Occupée) and France (Marges). She contributed to the catalogue for the 2009 Mois de la Photo à Montréal and to the first monograph dedicated to the work of Christian Marclay. Since 2008, Moeder has taken part in numerous exhibition projects with artists in the Quebec. In 2014, she will curate an extensive exhibition of the work of Iranian-Canadian artist Sayeh Sarfaraz and will publish the first monograph devoted to the artist.

Anouk Kruithof
Anouk Kruithof considers photography as a starting point of infinite possibilities. Her method is interdisciplinary and mostly idea based. Through social interactions like encounters with strangers, she analyzes, shapes and imagines work and informs her practice. Research in the form of interviews, temporary installations and performative interactions with unknown people and space form the basis of her photographs. She then uses these photographs as material, which she transfers across different surfaces and spaces into minimal installations and tactile artist-books.
Anouk Kruithof is a Dutch artist born in 1981 in Dordrecht, the Netherlands. In 2011, she moved from Berlin to New York City. She has presented solo exhibitions at Boetzelaer I Nispen, London; Galerie Adler, Frankfurt; Museum het Domein, Sittard and FOAM, Amsterdam. Her work also includes the group exhibitions The Feverish Library, Capitain-Petzel Gallery, Berlin; Super Positions / The New Wight Biennal, University of California – Los Angeles;The Daegu Photo Biennal, Daegu; Crossroads, Kunst Im Tunnel, Düsseldorf; Quickscan #01 at Nederlands Fotomuseum, Rotterdam and has shown at Australian Center for Photography, Sydney; Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Liege; Temporare Kunsthalle, Berlin; The Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Dutch Culture Center, Shanghai and Kunstraum Niederosterreich, Vienna.
