Marianne Berg / Sculpture / Norway
Marianne works in a sculptural, material-driven way, alternating between materials such as wood, concrete, plaster, epoxy, and bronze—used both individually and in combination.
Her primary material is wood, including both solid wood and plywood. She often builds up plywood into larger blocks, which are then shaped using a variety of tools and techniques.
Her sculptures move in multiple directions, ranging from organic forms inspired by nature to geometric forms influenced by architecture and man-made objects, varying in both scale and expression.
A recurring theme in her work is movement—explored through individual pieces or series that investigate rhythm, displacement, and balance. Organic and geometric forms evolve, interact, and influence one another, creating new relationships and compositions.
Movement may emerge from stillness or rest, or arise as an internal or external disturbance that transforms the form.
In 2026, Marianne has been selected to create a new sculptural work for Artpark in Messen.
Antoine Carcano / Comics, Printing, Visual Arts / Belgium
https://www.en3000editions.be/
Antoine works at the intersection of comics, video games, and visual storytelling. His practice is driven by a strong belief in the interconnectedness of these media, which he brings together in cohesive, cross-disciplinary projects.
While deeply informed by existing works, he remains focused on exploring new possibilities, using experimentation and research to develop a personal and reflective approach to comics.
Kim Moonjung / Drawing, Printmaking / South Korea
Moonjung Hwang graduated from Seoul National University, majoring in sculpture, before graduating from the Glasgow School of Art (MLitt Fine Art Practice). She currently lives and works in Seoul.
Questions arise within the rhythm of everyday repetition. Forms appear be-
tween the visible and the invisible. In the familiar flow of daily life, fleet-
ing conversations, shifting moods, and subtle traces pass by, their trajectory
often unnoticed. Even within the smallest shifts, signs of change emerge.
Practice is rooted in repetition.

Andrée-Anne Mercier / painting, drawing, animation / Canada
https://www.andreeannemercier.com/
Andrée-Anne Mercier (born 1992, Repentigny) is a multidisciplinary artist based in Montreal. She graduated with a B.F.A. Visual and Media Arts from UQÀM and completed a Graduate Certificate in Arts, Creation and Technologies from the University of Montreal. Mercier questions the relationship between memory and technology: “Does the use of digital tools to immortalize places and moments in time contribute to the celebration of our lived experiences or to their distortion?”
She explores this through painting, video games, installation, 3D modeling and animation. Between illusion and reality, her work is marked by an important process of graphic simplification. Resulting from an exploratory journey linked to her artist residencies, her paintings have as their main subject the architectural and urban landscape of residential neighborhoods. They deal in particular with the uniqueness of the places studied, their emotional, cultural and historical charge, as well as the nostalgic and sublimated memory that the artist retains of them.
The work of Andrée-Anne Mercier is part of various corporate and private collections in Canada and internationally and has been exhibited across Canada, Denmark, the United States, Japan, Iceland and South Korea.

Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson / visual artist, performance / Sweden
https://www.arnedotter.com/
Malin Arnedotter Bengtsson works with sculpture and performance, exploring themes of survival, adaptation, and inner transformation. Her works often draw on imagery from the sea, using fragile materials and symbolic forms to reflect on the relationship between humans and their environment.
Through these poetic gestures, Bengtsson invites viewers to reflect on vulnerability, instinct, and the subtle dynamics between observer and participant—raising the question of who, ultimately, is catching whom.
Sidsel Ladegaard / objects, installation art / Danmark / Berlin

Sidsel lives and works in Berlin. She studied Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts, where she received her degree in 2018. She has worked at the Danish Art Workshops in Copenhagen, the San Cataldo artist residency in Scala, Italy, the Fundación Valparaiso, Mojácar, Spain and the Danish Institute in Athens.
Cyrus Tang / visual artist / Australia

My art practice reflects sentiment of nostalgia through translation of disappearance into remembrance and fantasy. It reflects my examination of the paradox of reconstructing ephemeral mental images and sensations in permanent materials.
My work depicts ruins and decay: of human bodies, of houses and of cities. It depicts spirit-like things drifting in a black void, and the dust of civilisation lifting and floating into an ether without gravity. It deals with a loss of memory, as forgetting the past and rendered as decaying form and with the effort to hold onto memories and to even resurrect them. But the medium itself is also caught in this drama of loss and recovery. The visual effects I use are all analogue, and shot with labour-intensive procedures. This is crucial to the art: the analogue world is being dissolved by the digital media. My own videos and photographs are presented in post-production digital formats, but I produce the work materially in the studio in these labour-intensive analogue ways. The analogue is the ruin, the memory that is being eroded, and yet in which I pin my hopes for resurrection or survival. My work is about the potential survival of the analogue, perhaps as a dream of recovery and restoration. Perhaps as a utopia, beyond the medium’s obsolescence.
Carole Mousset / multimedia / Belgium
www.carolemousset.com/
Her work carries a vision of the body as a fluid container in constant mutation. By presenting a subjective approach of the inner body exploration, she proposes visions of reality distorted by our own fantasies. Inspired by what David Cronenberg calls « the creative cancer » (to adopt the disease’s point of view while filming the body), she aims to represent the world through an organic prism. These kinds of new forms of dissections are part of what she calls the body gaze.
The using of body fluids in her work is as a symbolic than a formal approach. The symbolic part refers to the poetic aspect that body fluids have regarding to the humors theory (the fact that the body is filled with four different fluids linked to the four natural elements). It is also a way to speak about body emancipation. The formal part refers to technical issues : how to paint the inherent movement of fluids ? How to represent viscous liquids and living matter ?

Chloé Malloggi / printmaking, sculptures / Norway
https://chloemalloggi.com
Chloé Malloggi (b.1999) is a French artist living in Bergen, Norway. She holds a Master degree in Fine Arts from the Bergen Art Academy, Norway and a Bachelor degree in Fine Arts from the Lyon Art Academy, France.
Her work comes from an interest for paper and its language and her projects take their final form as sculptural installations, prints, books and shapes in between. Her practice is a collaboration with the mediums she uses. Leaning into the flexibility of paper and words, she gives her materials space to speak, to doubt, to become poetry, as a concept of language.

I construct speculative ecosystems through the interplay between the fictional organisms—rendered in printmaking, painting, animation, and installation—and the viewer. These ecosystems invite viewers to a site that investigates material imagination and the complex layers of perception and survival in contemporary society.

Clinton Sleeper / multidisciplinary artist / USA
www.clintsleeper.com
As a media artist, performer, and maker, Clint Sleeper’s work humorously ponders an end to capitalism and seriously considers alternative possibilities for picking up the pieces and moving forward. This is a process of oscillating between old and new technologies as well as considering, in a clumsy fashion, popular or difficult philosophical positions.
Ultimately, this research and this artwork reiterates a sense of responsibility while upholding a brand of humor and a commitment to performing within those demands, however naive those performed roles may seem. The resulting books, videos, interactive sculptures, and performances are shown in galleries and festivals internationally.
Sandrine Deumier / multidisciplinary artist / France
www.sandrinedeumier.com/
Sandrine Deumier is a multidisciplinary artist working in the fields of performance, poetry and video art whose work investigates post-futurist themes through the development of aesthetic forms related to digital imaginaries.
Passionate about digital storytelling and immersive artistic experiences, she has been working for several years to develop poetic and visual fictions centred on the imaginary world of the living. Ecological concerns and speculative futures are at the heart of her research. Her work focuses on imagining new ways of inhabiting the world using new technologies from an animist perspective, where the preservation of natural balances takes precedence over that of predation, accumulation and unlimited growth.
Sanni Pyhänniska / Printmaking, illustration / Finland
www.sannillustrates.com
Sanni Pyhänniska is an artist and printmaker working in printmaking, drawing and textiles, based between Finland and UK. Alongside her artistic practice she also works as an illustrator, event coordinator in the arts sector and a creative facilitator.
Originally from Finland, she studied Illustration at Falmouth University, Cornwall (2017-2020) and worked as a studio member at Spike Print Studio in Bristol from 2022 until 2025.
Influenced by the prominent Finnish textile artists she grew up admiring, her work is intuitive and process-led exploring texture, bold colour, and experimentative mark making.
Finding inspiration from personal memories, feeling, and conversation, her work captures moments of connection between people, environments and oneself. Where her imagery emerges from lived experiences and a subjective point of view, the figures in her work are women who are not tied to one time or place.
Joris Melman / writer / the Netherlands
Joris Melman is a writer working at the intersection of political science, philosophy, and creative writing, examining public institutions, European integration, and the stories that shape how we understand society.
He is interested in how globalization and modernization are changing everyday life, and how these changes in turn shape public opinion. As a postdoctoral researcher, he studies the effect of external threats on the legitimacy of European governance, focusing on how such threats influence the European political community and identity. In addition to his academic work, he has also written for Dutch media outlets such as NRC Handelsblad, Trouw, Het Parool, and De Groene Amsterdammer.
