Concluding their residencies at NAC, the artist and shepherd Kathryn Wood, the artists Verena Seibt and Thomas Splett invite you to encounter their works and spend a day at NAC visiting SupaStore and the current exhibition on view Sensible Grounds: Tuning into the Rhythms of the Chronic.
Verena Seibt lives and works in Munich. The artist’s work takes up a variety of forms, starting from video and film footage to various basic materials (ceramics, bones, latex, bread, textiles, and other ). It strongly focuses on social topics such as role models, societal expectations and clichés, drawn from her immediate experience and deepened by research and readings. Her works have been shown / screened in Simultanhalle Cologne, K21 Düsseldorf, DocFest Kassel, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Kunsthalle and Kunstverein Bonn, Industriemuseum and others.
Thomas Splett lives and works in Munich. He works with photographs and related images, following an installative and deconstructive approach. In narrowing down image-theoretical and existential questions, his image production balances out the unstable balance of meaning and its charges, abundance and redundancy. His work has been featured in Kunstraum München, Schnittstelle Neustrelitz, Avenue Jeanne Bruxelles, Studio Galeria Budapest, Galerie Mikael Andersen Copenhagen, ArtSümer Istanbul Biennale, Neumayer III Antarctica and others.
Kathryn Wood lives and works in the Peak District National Park, UK. The artist’s work focuses on an understanding of the rural as a place of cultural production. She explores traditional making methods using agricultural by-products from working farms. Her works have been shown in Glasgow at the House For An Art Lover, Broadcast, Grace & Clark Fyfe Gallery, The Centre for Contemporary Arts, Street Level Photoworks, Citizen M, at Stockport’s Rare Mags and in Manchester’s Night and Day.
