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)

Thomas Poulsen (FOS)
FOS’ practice investigates how physical space achieves significance through social interaction and how the aesthetics of social space challenge and transform social constructs. Referring to his approach as Social Design, FOS suggests solutions through the investigation of the physicality of social relations. ‘I see the world as constituted of layers – only a small part visible to us – that exists as a reaction of what lies underneath. What we learn and perceive is in our behavior, what isn’t learned is a part of our reactions. Our social construct is a machine in this framework.’

Residents from Denmark
Krüger & Pardeller
The objects of Krüger & Pardeller are perceived as constructive sculptures, architectural fragments or design objects. Due to tangible experience and deliberate ambiguity, viewers are encouraged to discover their own classifications and define the criteria for such distinctions consciously. Forms of presentation are questioned and the abstract, modular form is adopted as an interactive tool. Kruger & Pardeller are also curators and editors of Twilight Zone: Art Hits Design, and Undisciplined: The Phenomenon of Space in Art, Architecture and Design, Vienna/New York, 2008/2009.
