Nina Beier (Denmark, 1975) works with found objects whose value has been shaped collectively across different time periods, generations or global realities. Hybrid and unstable, the selected objects are elastic motifs that are forever mutating in a continuous state of transformation. Following an interest in objects that carry narratives about the fundamental power structures which our society is built on, Beier’s work digs into cultural codes that are particularly layered and contradictory. Her sculptures unpack the space between the intention, production, distribution, trading and use of her selected material and explores how these factors have changed over time.
Simon Dybbroe Møller (Denmark, 1976) thinks with and through things. In his practice he digs for objects that are sort of blurry. Or rather perhaps, suspended in a kind of limbo between different conditions; objects frozen in a state of transitioning between disparate modes of existence. He is interested in objects and images that seem to have almost invented themselves, in such a way that - in his own words - they act as “nonverbal articulations of our collective subconscious”. In his photographic work he investigates the relationship between the most fundamental sensate experiences and the increasing remove and autonomy of representational media. In other words Møller's practice centers around the question of how we change media and how media changes us.
