altblog–Taryn Simon
A Living Man Declared Dead and Other Chapters I – XVIII was produced over a four-year period (2008-11), during which the artist, Taryn Simon, travelled around the world researching and recording bloodlines and their related stories. The subjects Simon documents include victims of genocide in Bosnia, test rabbits infected with a lethal disease in Australia, the first woman to hijack an aircraft, and the living dead in India. Her collection is at once cohesive and arbitrary, mapping the relationships among chance, blood, and other components of fate.

altblog – Isa Melsheimer
The installation’s sculptural elements were conceived based on the features of Quartz’s space, juxtaposed with the architectural shapes of some of Turin’s buildings. Isa Melsheimer explains, « The idea behind the title is my interest in some of Turin’s housing, such as in the Falchera district, and the buildings of Enzo Venturelli, Carlo Mollino, Luigi Nervi, Gabetti and Isola. I think the look of many of these buildings is quite special, very « modern. »

Maanantai Collective – Between the Flashes of the Lighthouse
Between the Flashes of the Lighthouse is an extension of the series Nine Nameless Mountains, realized by Maanantai Collective in August 2014, 2 years later the first trip to Lofoten. In reference to the exhibition title, the dark moments between the flashes were indeed a sign of the possibility to step into the unknown, the unexpected and the prolific part of the creative process. The new works of Maanantai are playing with subtlety and drive with the direct experimentation of visual perception.
