Orawan Arunrak
‍‍
Born in 1985 in Bangkok, TH; lives and works in Bangkok and Berlin.
‍
Orawan Arunrak's artwork – largely inspired by her everyday life – encompasses diverse forms such as drawing, painting, and installation, employing tools like pencils, pens, paper, but also photography, video, texts and the internet. Her practice meticulously engages with local communities, endeavouring to dissolve boundaries between conventional art and non-art spaces. She navigates through multifaceted terrains of national, cultural, and spiritual identities, crafting pieces that reflect both similarities and divergences of her domiciles in Asia and Europe. Each work transcends visual representation, embodying dialogues and narratives that explore the complex relationships and stories entwined with each unique location and culture, offering viewers insights into the interplay of art, identity, and geography inherent in her oeuvre.

From 2022 to 2023, she was a participant at De Ateliers, Amsterdam. Her work explores the opacity of how materials assemble to construct sites of inhabitancy, memory, literature, and fantasy. Capturing the pauses and repetitions of daily labor, her objects and interdisciplinary environments imagine slices of perception that slip through linguistic metrics but leave ineffable weights.

Erwan Sene
‍‍
Erwan Sene (b. 1991, Paris) is an artist and musician based in Paris. He graduated in 2016 from the École Supérieure d'Art et de Design de Reims. His work has been exhibited at Collection Lambert, Avignon; Liebeart Project, Belgium; MO.CO, Montpelier; CAC Passages, Troyes; Balice Hertling, Paris; Frac des pays de la Loire, Nantes. First Album “JUnQ” out on Berlin-based label PAN, 2023. He is represented by Balice Hertling (Paris).
‍
The work of Sene is based on a sculptural corpus that extends over several levels and is composed in the future perfect tense. Letting himself slide along the slope of a multidimensional everyday life that he reimagines in all kinds of enigmatic tales, his practice reconsiders his own way of living and digesting the objects around him. He creates staging with a vast array of materials, between baroque remanence and day-to-day surrealism, and broaches the themes of language and science fiction. He develops strange ecosystems, a set of vibrant, dystopian and interconnected urban furniture that communicates through a language devised by the artist.
