The exhibition To Dwell in Possibility, borrows the characteristics of the phenomenon known as bilocation. This simultaneous existence, which appears in religion, spiritualism and even in speculative quantum physics becomes a lyrical transmitter of one’s going, arriving and being, and a token advocate of one’s way of being. Although focusing on different aspects, all four artists’ evocation of unrestricted movement across distances touches on the human aspiration to transcend physical limitations. Fluidity and transformation are key to this act of disassembly and reassembly. Thus, the textile material that binds together the exhibition installation and the intimate and personal artworks together is capable of translating the nurturing and gliding timelines, the firmless and reformable routes of spectatorship and the alignment of multi-located notion-forming experiences.

Rita Koszorus (SK/HU) primarily focuses on painting but her artistic practice best characterizes the technique of collage for her approach to creation, both technologically and philosophically. In her paintings, She depicts utopian abstract places, fragments and atmospheres that are related to an imaginary home, indefinite and distant. All the while I implement the understanding that people with the same collective identity can recognise parallel elements from familiar nostalgic memories.

 

Pauline Maure (FR) is an artist using film and performance to create moments of sensual absurdity. The focal point of her research is to make films that she can then project in the form of a theater show. The stories she creates are exaggerated, passionate yet not psychological, humorously reductive interpretations of Western movies. She is researching unusual forms of filmmaking and storytelling to create revived narratives and imagery. Her performative screenings aim to reshape the traditional movie-theater experience, through live interventions and multisensory triggers. 

 

Astrid Csatlós (HU) focuses on the relationship and interaction between contemporary art and science. Her work examines the blurring of the boundaries between science and art, as well as the functioning of science fiction genres and individual symbolic systems. Through unique sign systems, she creates an associative and reduced world of motifs. Her distinctive visual language is built from semiotic systems that draw on symbols of science, the extraterrestrial, fiction, and holism.

​

María Alcaide (ES) is a visual artist working across installation, film and text. She is interested in flexible methodologies and references that haven’t been validated by the art field or academia, always taking as a starting point her personal experience and her own economic and spatial limitations as a body. Performativity plays a key role in her practice due to its potential to create fictions and reveal the fictional side of reality. The structure of tales and myths is very present in her work, giving birth to stories where she questions social, economic and political constructs of power.
