A Cooperative Enterprise pavilion Part 2

This pavilion is one of many in this year's The Wrong Biennale. As the curator, I invite you to check the link https://thewrong.org/ to explore the many other pavilions online as well as embassies, which include live exhibition spaces. I am very grateful to the biennale organizers as well as to the New Art City organizers for providing this opportunity for myself and the other artists to share our work. The works here may be experienced as if one is a phantom viewing the objects from the outside as well as passing through their walls to interior spaces, which include video, image, and sound, surrounding and enveloping the viewer who crosses over to the mysterious inside of the cubes and spheres.

Anne Murray is an artist, writer, and also the curator of this exhibition. Her work explores human and other, language and absence, identifying new pathways to connect, while imagining herself as both an octopus and a stone. This research manifests in various media including poetry, video, installation, performance, photography, social practice, and art criticism. Educated with a BFA from Parsons School of Design in Paris, MFA and MS in Art History from Pratt Institute in New York, and M.Ed. from The College of New Jersey Global Studies Program, Mallorca, she now lives in Budapest. Her video work Exquisite Exodus was included in Cf as part of the Research Pavilion curated by Jeanette Doyle at the Venice Biennale in 2017 and at La Biennale Méditerranéenne d’Art Contemporain d’Oran, Algeria. She has exhibited in Europe, Asia, and the United States.

Willemijn Bouman: "I am a visual artist and designer born in The Netherlands and paint large and colorful canvasses in an abstract expressionistic style. Also I make woodblock prints and frottage (rubbing) in a specific style and technique.

I design and execute projects of applied art, with a specialism in functional visual art (wall paintings and ceramic walls) in parking buildings.

My painting studio nowadays is in Otterlo, The Netherlands (Veluwe).
Also I worked many years in my cave studio in Cappadocia, Turkey and the influence of the Turkish culture and the bizarre landscape of Cappadocia is visible in my artwork.
My large cave house in Turkey was also an artist run micro–art-residency Babayan Culture House. It offered space for many years to international artists. Specialty was community–based art and the interacting with the cave dwellings and weird volcanic landscape. Experimental creations and performing in situ was encouraged.

Besides painting I experiment with different materials and take videos to document my creative processes. Sometimes I create stop motion films."

Alexandra Krolikowska was born 1990 in Donetsk.
"I am a multidisciplinary artist, cultural activist and psychologist. Inspired by the
therapeutic power of art, I explore the relations of personal and collective mythology, and the modern role of archetypes and psychological rituals.
Utilizing means of photography, video and performance, and being curious how art continues to bear its transformative function within the digital era, I combine analog technologies with futuristic visions.
Researching the concept of metamodernity, I pay special attention to the dualistic perceptions, unveiling in her works the nature of wholeness, embracing poles and seeing beyond.
Also, since 2007 I have been a member of the Krolikowski Art duo, sharing collaborative creative practice with Alexander Krolikowski who has similar interests and conceptual perspectives.

From 2019, I was helping with artistic practice in different ways to several Ukrainian
artists: Tanya Fishmann with defining her personal art style of performances, Elis Luna with her collage project, Alevtina Kakhidze with her research on gender equality in the Ukrainian art scene. As invited curator and mentor I was organizing the discussion program and guiding projects for young artists within Nazar Voytovych Art residence (Travneve village in Ukraine) for several weeks."

Myriam Ait El Hara has been a professional artist since 1995."I evolve every day towards new pictorial experiences to approach all techniques, from drawing and calligraphy to painting, installation and photography, I have exhibited in Algeria and around the world (France, Spain, Germany, Syria, Tunisia, Morocco, etc.) Artistic production residencies have brought me into contact with international artists with whom I have exchanged artistic and cultural experiences. My vision for life has been enriched thanks to multiple exhibitions, residencies, experimental workshops and encounters. Each of my works carries with it a large part of my story. These fragmented, deconstructed and then reconstituted bodies are the sum of all the materials that make us up. I use in my installations the magma of our existence, mixed with clay, water and air, giving my subjects a transcendent momentum. My latest productions are a response to all our fears, apprehensions and fears following narcissistic wounds that alter our body image. It is my way of exorcising slices of life, detaching myself from matter and broadening the spectrum of my knowledge of Man. My studies at the School of Fine Arts allow me to know the artist, his aspirations and his needs. My administrative function at the AARC Agency gives me easy access to this world of the arts that I encounter every day and allows me to discover artists from all walks of life and produce them, this enriches me and broadens my knowledge of arts and artists.
