Artists Bergur Thomas Anderson, Dovilė Aleksandravičiūtė, and Justina Vilčinskaitė continue their residencies at NAC in January 2020. They will be joined by the artist Marina Cavadini from Chicago/Milan, and the collective Gentle Women from Kaliningrad.   
 
Marina Cavadini is based between Chicago and Milan. She operates within the field of ecology, exploring images that form the idea of the natural. In her practice, Cavadini collaborates with non-humankind. She produces work that is grounded in science and technology studies, feminist theory, and the environmental humanities.
Cavaldini’s works have been exhibited at The Sullivan Galleries, Chicago (2017), Hyde Park Center, Chicago (2017), Joan Flasch Artists’ Book Collection, Chicago (2017), and La Triennale di Milano, Milan (2017).
 
The Gentle Women artist collective is based in Kaliningrad. They work with performance, video, and organize actions in the public space. They systematically examine the topic of gender and study myths, ideas, and common beliefs about constructing the idea of a woman. As a rule, the group reinterprets everyday and traditional rituals of the specific region they operate in. 
Gentle Women’s work recently was presented at National Centre for Contemporary Arts, Kaliningrad (2018), Moscow City Museum (2018), and DOPUST/Days of open performance VIENNA (2017).
 
Dovilė Aleksandravičiūtė and Justina Vilčinskaitė live and work in Amsterdam. Aleksandravičiūtė works within the lines of visual art, literature, and academic research. Vilčinskaitė works primarily with sculptural installation and is interested in natural elements, such as rocks, and their cultural and mythical associations. They share a common interest in the subjects of in-betweenness and greyness.
Among other places, Aleksandravičiūtė’s works have been exhibited at Nieuw Dakota (2018), at7 (2018), and De Punt in Amsterdam (2017). Vilčinskaitė’s works were recently shown at at7, Amsterdam (2018), Tiny Library in various locations (2017), and Gerrit Rietveld Academy, Amsterdam (2016).
 
Bergur Thomas Anderson is an artist and musician from Iceland currently based in Rotterdam. His performative, research-based practice utilises music, gesture, and mythological storytelling to invoke affective and humorous processes of disappearance and retrieval. Anderson’s current research focuses on the narrative agency of polyphonic vocal composition.
His recent projects have been presented at Piet Zwart Institute, Rotterdam (2019), Harbinger (2018) and Mengi (2017) in Reykjaví­k. Anderson’s stay in Nida is generously supported by CBK Rotterdam.
