The installations of Zoro Feigl seem to be alive. His materials dance and twist. Placed together in a space, the separate works become one: large and ponderous in places, nervous or gracious elsewhere.

Feigl’s forms are constantly changing, sometimes slowly, sometimes quickly. The exhibition space becomes an enlarged microscope: single-cell creatures, primitive organisms are twisting, groaning and convulsing. Without beginning or end the objects seem to be locked into themselves. As a viewer you become entangled in their movements: they embrace and amaze, but sometimes also frighten you.

Nazif Lopulissa is a Dutch artist whose work explores the ordinary. Graduated at the Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam, Lopulissa started his career in graffiti and street art. His work is playful, bold, colourful and blurs the edge between imagination and reality. He has a fascination for playgrounds because of their inner contradiction between their playful appearance and the strict design rules on which they are built.
