no.27...Aia Sofia Coverley Turan
Teeters
reliefs, sculpture and drawings
"Tenuous beings, so ethereal they could also be considered shaped symbols...
They hang on the wall as if they were asleep, or carefully listening to what the walls had to say...
Leaving it undecided whether they are actually here, Aia Sofia Coverley Turan's Teeters convey a sense of inbetweenness."*

no.19... Maria Norholm Ramouk
Through the photographs I sense her impatience. She asks what I'm gonna use them for and adds that it's important to remember nostalgia. I answer that it's related to my research for the Afgang project.
textile, photography and ceramics
"Ways of being together, and the stories and objects holding that togetherness in place...
She has dug into her own family and local urban history through stories of coffee and the elements and objects related to its making, as a way of connecting and being with others.
Some of these stories are printed onto fabric and hung in the exhibition space alongside other related materials, interconnecting in the same loose manner as the disparate elements that make up the micro-narratives of our everyday life."*
"Stories are also invited; ceramic coffeemakers made by the artist are put into circulation in exchange for the tales told around their use in different everyday spaces. Norholm Ramouk is interested in what memories hold, what selected fragments are told and to whom. She is not digging for truth, but for the small fiction-truths that make up our recollections..."*
