Cäcilia Brown, born in Sens (FR) in 1983, focuses with her sculptures on questions concerning the social and public sphere and its immanent hierarchies, combining them with sculptural questions of weight, volume, texture and material. Her latest works use clay from recent digging for a new underground in Vienna, roof beams and other material from demolished buildings.

Mikkel Holm Torp, born in Frederiksberg (DK) in 1987, lives and works in Copenhagen and Carrara (IT). He works with sculpture, ceramics and installations. His works are developed from knowledge in stone masonry and investigations of mineral materials. He explores how art forms correspond with geology, landscape and archaeology. His latest works question how stones are valuable elements, not only as minerals, but also as metaphors for navigating in historical landscapes, cultural memory and iconology.
