Arianne Foks (FR)

Arianne Foks is a multidicsiplinary artist, she creates intallation, drawing, photography and her main medium is Performance art. As she adapts her work to the space, she sees it as a site specific working process. Her work is made of words, colors, rythm, architecture, partners, pop-culture, folklore, personal mythology… She adapts her work to the context, the space, the local environment, it’s a response to what she sees and hears. I’ts what she loves, what she hates. That’s why she tries to move around, walking without any destination in an unknown city. Being able to collect images, local habits and folklore to integrate them into her work, using it as a way of shaping her own identity. Because it’s a lot about identity, and how the physical reality of it can be shaped in different ways. It’s also a question of desire, how desire produces a new body? She defines it as a creation of a personal mythology, she transforms herself into a horse or a frog, or she writes a text with kisses, sharing with the audience a particular moment. She has been showing her work around Europe and the USA, during Contemporary Art exhibition and International Performance Art Festival. She is also collaborating with many different artists, choregraphers, photographers, musicians around the world (Paris, Milano, Berlin, New York, Tallinn, Cardiff…)

Because we have seen that it would be best to build a strong market town alongside the sea, and because we cannot find anywhere suitable for fortifying in Ulvila, we have chosen another location: Pori.”

Short Bio Daniela Bershan

Daniela Bershan’s work focuses on the processes of life and its natural relations to form. Bershan is fascinated by the primitive, biological need for humans to make themselves heard, for leaving a mark in this world. Her work oscillates between the primitive and the scientific, between the expressive and the rational, as for her these are not necessarily each other’s opposite. Bershan’s art aims to follow the human need to physically engage in a material dialogue and flow of matter from which forms appear.

Daniela Bershan was born in 1980 in Zweibrücken, Germany. She lives and works in Amsterdam. She studied Multimedia Design in Stuttgart and later Fine Arts at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy in Amsterdam. Bershan participated in, as well as organized various projects and exhibitions in Holland and abroad, among others: Three Artists Walk into a Bar @ De Appel Arts Centre Amsterdam (2012), FATFORM, Bijlmer/NL (2012), Beeld Hal Werk @ Storkhal, Amsterdam (2010), We Have a Bar @ 29th São Paulo Biennale, São Paulo (2010), Luxembourg Triennial @ Carre Rotondes, Luxembourg (2010), LOVE @ 1646, The Hague (2009), NO EXIT @ Kunsthaus, Graz (2008), Capacete, Rio de Janeiro (2007). She is currently enrolled in a MA programme at the Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam.

I Stands

“I stands” points at the fact that if you exaggerate one of the most common actions – standing – long enough in real time it alienates into all directions. The “I” becomes an object, just another material in public space. It becomes a vehicle and the rim between reality and fiction, humor and analysis, something and nothing.”I stands”in this sense is used as an instrument to look at the inside/outside of a space, a context, artistic practice and the institution, the self and the others.

I stands is an ongoing performative analysis in Bershan’s practise that was performed a.o. for De Appel Arts Centre/Amsterdam and Fatform/Bijlmer.
