Artists in Residence, February 2025

Jeremiah Day
In his work, the Berlin-based American artist Jeremiah Day re-examines recent political struggles and conflicts, revealing their subjective contexts and traces. To do this, he has developed a narrative and choreographic form in which personal and political realities intermingle, thus offering a thoroughly singular vision of these at times forgotten moments of history.

Linnea Jensen
Linnea Jensen works mainly with oil on canvas, and mixes media on paper such as watercolor, charcoal, pastels and prints (woodcuts and drypoint). Her images are figurative and autobiographical. The images carry a poetic touch, a sense of melancholic wonder, interwoven with reflections on more philosophical and universal questions about life, death, loneliness, longing, timelessness and transience. The images are multifaceted, but mainly revolve around the female experience, and you can sense an underlying criticism of what has brought us to the time and world we find ourselves in today.

Tatjana Doll
Born in 1970 in Germany.
The work of German painter Tatjana Doll, extremely vast and plural, focuses on the analysis of contemporary symbolic and its reproducibility. With a stroke as brutal as it is vivid and precise, the artist takes an uncompromising stab at the figures and objects that make up our contemporaneity and our societies : Tatjana Doll expresses and translates the ambiguity and ambivalence of our relationship to these surrounding symbols and markers of wealth, conditions and social belonging. She thus challenges the viewer to look at things in their existential rawness.
Through the painterly gesture, reality and fiction cancel each other out and clear the view for the factual essence of the object, which has been influenced by social structures and automatically directs our view of our environment. Doll proposes us an unsparing look at the world. Without judgment.Without falsification.

Bettina Weiss
Based on the idea that our world and all living beings are created, sustained and pass away by energies and forces, Bettina Weiss tries to visualize this idea and its possibilities in her work. Geometry as an ancient principle of order is her preferred formal language for working on the representation of outer and inner landscapes. Geometric basic elements are like an alphabet with which she can develop and play things through.
She is interested in creating a tension between the rational and the irrational, between surfaces and ground, as well as making potential systems of order perceptible on an emotional level in the painting.
The process of creating each painting is intuitive, even if the constructive aspect seems to be dominant at first. With these forms, which originally come directly from nature, she is constantly working on new versions and the possibilities of painting.
