The exhibition will present works by Marina Abramović, Diana Al-Hadid, Paola Angelini, Lotte Konow Lund, Janaina Tschäpe, Ane Djuvan Vinje, Amalie Jacobsen and Marit Victoria Wulff Andreassen. We are delighted to be able to welcome the fall season, with our first show since February, presenting all-female artists, both represented and artworks provided exclusively for "August".

Syrian-born and Brooklyn-based artist Diana Al-Hadid (1981) is renowned for her lofty sculptures, wall pieces and surreal bronzes that appear to be in a state of ruin, a place between creation and destruction. Al-Hadid’s sculptures, the panel works, and works on paper are built up with layers of material and history. Inspired by myriad sources including historical architecture, Hellenistic sculpture, progressing science, myths and works by the old masters, her pieces can look like renderings from a fantasy world. Her rich, formal allusions across cultures and disciplines, drawing inspiration, not only from the history of distance civilizations but also from the histories of the materials themselves. Al-Hadid’s work is intricate studies of space and structure in which the viewer is continually reengaging the work through its constant shift and flow of perspectives.

Paola Angelini (1983) was born in San Benedetto del Tronto, Italy, where she still works and lives. Her work is centred around the study of painting by exploring the possibilities of the language within the practice of the media. She gathers inspiration from found and personal images, or historic artworks, where her interest lays on the subject within the image and its composition which becomes both the birth and the core of each of her own works. The compositive structure of her works often begins from the examination of traditional Italian painting, frequently by reviewing specific artists to find her synthesis. In recent years the space where she situated has become of more importance to her work and which shapes and forms her paintings.

Janaina Tschäpe was born in 1973 in Munich, Germany, and was raised in Sao Paolo, Brazil. She received her Bachelor of Fine Arts from the Hochschule fur Bildende Künste, Hamburg, and her Master in Fine Arts from the School of Visual Arts, New York, where she has lived and worked for over twenty years. Tschäpe has become recognized for a multivalent body of work, embracing painting and drawing, film, photography, sculpture and performance. Tschäpe’s carefully nuanced canvases and drawings include imageries evocative of the natural world, suggesting growth, transition, and metamorphosis.
