Kim Wawer (Amsterdam, 1988) has a Bachelor of Fine Art in the field of Ceramics and Master of Interior Architecture degree from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie and Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam. She also co-runs project space Reneenee at the Maison Descartes in Amsterdam.
Wawer’s process based practice draws from a complex circulatory sense of belonging in relationship to her own body and the immediate landscape she is positioned in. Borderless, perforated ceramic shapes are molded to the dimensions of her body; to be held, carried, and cared for as extensions of her own self, simultaneously weighing down and accompanying her.
Aljosa Erakovic (b. 1987, Yugoslavia, now Bosnia and Hercegovina) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. He holds a Bachelor degree in Medium and Material Based Art from Oslo National Academy of the Arts (2018).
In 2020, Erakovic co-founded the artist run exhibition space Suvatne & Erakovic together with artist Kristian Suvatne Augland.
Joar Nedberg (b 1984, Kongsberg) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. He holds a bachelor’s in fine arts from The Art Academy – Department of Contemporary Art in Bergen (2012).
Joar has a long experience and a deep interest in woodwork and traditional craft. Currently, he is experimenting with new ways to explore mosaics. He is one of the founders of the artist group Friatletene, and during the last years, he has been a part of a handful of exhibitions – both solo and as a part of a group.
Mia Van Veen is a visual artist based in Oslo. She holds a (BFA) degree from Emily Carr university (CA) and graduated (MA) from Iceland University of the arts in 2017.
Her work has been exhibited at ISCA gallery (NO), Sunset Terrace (CA), Trapp gallery (CA), Untitled art fair Miami (US), Hulias (NO/IT), Billedhoggerforeningen / Norwegian sculptor association, QB gallery (NO), Mengi (IS).
