Alexandre da Cunha
Alexandre da Cunha is a Brazilian-born artist who lives and works in São Paulo and London. He has referred to his practice as ‘pointing’ as opposed to ‘making’. By ‘pointing’ at existing objects in plain sight, da Cunha highlights new and unexpected meanings within the objects he chooses. This approach allows him to disentangle preconceptions and instinctive responses inherent to particular objects, restoring them with alternative modes of viewing and understanding. Given their renewed possibility, da Cunha’s sculptures inspire lush potential, illuminating everyday encounters with these ordinary materials. For instance, household cleaning objects suddenly conjure spiritual significance, while seemingly mundane industrial ready-mades echo art historical precedents.

Jefford Horrigan
Jefford Horrigan lives and works in London. He makes performances and short films rooted in sculpture. In these works furniture and household objects are moved and manipulated until they take on a different entity. As well as honoring the usual working out, planning and thinking roles his drawing are often employed as a way for substituting text to make performance proposals.
“I make installations, short performances and small films, rooted in sculpture and jealous of painting – particularly the still life. In these works I move, manipulate and sometimes dance with furniture, combined with everyday actions such as polishing shoes, washing up or sewing. I want always to have the furniture, household objects and actions remain recognizable and everyday but the emotional atmosphere altered.”

Katrina Palmer
Katrina Palmer lives and works in London. She works with stories that are distributed across found sites, audio environments, printed matter and performance. Attentive to uncertainties, bodily vulnerabilities and insecure environments, these situated narratives invite the audience to consider objects that are indicated, but not fully present. The articulated exploration of material circumstances locates sculpture in narrative. www.katrinapalmerartist.com

His paintings have been exhibited internationally and are in many private and public collections including Tate, London. www.antonimalinowski.co.uk
