Marzena Nowak’s work is created from memory and imagination, residing in the tension between autobiographical references and poetically immersed dream worlds. Her sensitivity to everyday occurrences and the relationship to her own physicality often represent the thematic departure points for Nowak’s artistic practice. Nowak attempts to defy perception using unexpected materials to symbolically change everyday objects.

Past Resident2014: ACC - Asian Cultural Council
Tang Kwok Hin
Tang Kwok Hin’s artworks use erasure to emphasize what remains in a new light. His acts of disfigurement usually result in more figurative meanings than they rub off. In his symbolic collages Tang is particularly concerned about combinations of daily things and the meanings they produce. He is interested in questioning that which is a result of human development, interrogating the existence, rational and usage of such ordinary items as the table and chair.
Tang Kwok Hin (born 1983, Hong Kong) is a mixed media artist, independent curator and writer. He received his MFA from The Chinese University of Hong Kong in 2008. He exhibited at 15th WRO Media Art Biennale, Wrocław, Poland; Hong Kong Contemporary Art Biennial Award 2009; Museum Bärengasse, Zurich, Switzerland; Esplanade, Singapore; Singapore Art Museum; Jorge B. Vargas Museum, Manila; Busan Cinema Center, South Korea; Kuandu Museum f Fine Arts, Taipei, Taiwan. He was awarded the first prize at Hong Kong Biennale 2009; selected by Sovereign Asian Art Prize 2010 and 2011; awarded a Award for Young Artist by Hong Kong Arts Development Awards 2010; and a grant by Asian Cultural Council in 2013. His work is in collections in both Europe and Asia.

Yuri Yim
Yuri Yim’s immersive works integrate images, sounds and sensory inputs to stimulate viewers’ participation. Yuri Yim selects sites with the intent to reverse or exploit harsh, and precarious conditions. She creates situations using the simultaneous collection of insignificant events, memories and recording from her quotidian documentation. Yuri Yim’s practice of engaging with her narrative imagination influences the relationships she enters with fictional or real figures, spaces, and things. She builds narratives around unnamed objects and their contacts wherein clandestine relationships between personified things may arise.
Yuri Yim lives in Seoul, Korea. She has been featured in S2, Platform Place 629, 2011; Campfire in the End, Dongduk Women’s University Yeji Hall, 2013; Contributing to Disaster, Art Space Pool, 2014; and the Seoul Art Space_Geumcheon as an artist in residence.
