Nanna Debois Buhl
Nanna Debois Buhl works conceptually with film, photography, drawing, text and sound. Combining text and images in various ways, her work is a continuous investigation of the relationship between aesthetics and ideologies. In previous projects, this relationship has been examined through a particular site, from a 19th century Danish amusement park to an abandoned Caribbean sugar mill, in order to investigate how histories and ideologies are inscribed in architecture and urban space. In recent projects, Buhl examines how signs are created and how meaning can change over time and between contexts. In Street Haunting, found photographs are presented alongside diverse readings from five psychics, while Dearest. I Will Be There on Sunday features 63 vintage postcards all depicting the same motif.
Nanna Debois Buhl (born 1975, Denmark) received her MFA from The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2006 and participated in The Whitney Independent Study Program, New York in 2008-09. She has exhibited internationally, with recent shows including: Art in General, NY; The Studio Museum in Harlem, NY; Bureau, NY; Lunds Konsthall, Lund, Sweden; Ar/Ge Kunst, Bolzano, Italy; Kunsthallen Brandts, Odense, Denmark; and Herning Museum of Contemporary Art, Herning, Denmark. Her work is in the collections of the Museum for Contemporary Art and The National Museum of Photography in Denmark. In 2010, Revolver Publishing published her artist’s book A Journey in Two Directions and the collaborative book City Grammar (with Liz Linden). Her work has recently been reviewed in Art in America, Art Forum, and The New York Times.

Lotte Van den Audenaeren
The site-specific installations, urban interventions, neon sculptures, word images and ephemeral works of Lotte Van den Audenaeren revolve around the determination and transience of place and content. Van den Audenaeren explores and unfolds multiple layers of perception through simple deconstruction and reconstruction of visual representation. The interventions, additions and deletions organized by Van den Audenaeren have a minimal or limited materiality, though they cause a drastic impact on their environment. Her works have a tendency to appear barely present, or in the process of disappearing – like light, shadows or apparitions.
Lotte Van den Audenaeren (born 1979) lives and works in Brussels. She is a graduate of Sint-Lukas Brussels University College of Art and Design and the Faculty of Fine Arts at the University College Ghent, Belgium. She participated the Erasmus program at Fontys University of Applied Sciences, Tilburg, The Netherlands. Van den Audenaeren received the Award Legacy Franciscus Pycke and became Coming People laureate at S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium. Recent solo shows include: Extramuros, Cultuurcentrum Strombeek Grimbergen vzw, Brussels; paper planes, Nadine, Brussels; and some pictures and things i left behind, NYC. Recent group shows include: Melancholy is not enough…, Unicredit Pavillon, Bucharest and SCULPTURE, Galerie Fortlaan 17, Ghent, Belgium.
