INTERVIEW | Hilary Koob-Sassen
Constitution of the Next system Figure
Have you ever wondered what an Errorist does? Meet Hilary Koob-Sassen, who is a self-proclaimed Errorist, an artist who works with sculpture, music, film and everything in between. His works are not simply a critique of political and social construct, but rather a narrative proposal to understand our surroundings in a better and brighter light. We have caught up with Hilary for a chat to find out just how he develops these narratives and importantly with whom, as he has many collaborations coming up.

ADD TO MY LIBRARY VOL.III | Christina Mitrentse
ADD TO MY LIBRARY VOL.III An on-going International Book Art Project Initiative by Christina Mitrentse
‘’The paradox of Mitrentse’s project is that it is both a sign of dissipation, of the loss of knowledge and the means for its transmission, and a conscious recouping or preservation of the culture of the book. It is a novel physical object, a book-container made of books, a library whose walls is bound and bonded together with books, a labyrinthine conceptual and architectural structure’’. Peter Suchin art critic , frieze/Art monthly

Antechamber | Project Space for Drawing and Other Research
Antechamber is a newborn artist-run project space in Copenhagen, initiated by Jeanette Sætre (NO) and Hilda Ekeroth (SE).
The place was launched in January 2012 as a place for artistic research. Antechamber was set afloat as an experiment of conceptual practice and a statement on the production of ideas and art. The drawing part is a reference to the mark of the hand, of the studio work, which is interesting to dig deeper into in the view of the history of conceptual art.

In Portrait | Malin Lennström-Örtwall
Any object can be art. How do you conceptualize your objects into art?
Malin: During my childhood I was collecting objects so when I started at Kunstskolen i Bergen it was natural for me to use objects as a material for making art. By using known objects I want to refer to everyday life and situations that the viewer can recognize themselves in.
Through my art, I am conceptualizing the form the objects are taking through their settings and the treatment they are receiving from me. By visually adding an interference to the objects, they transform into something else, something more than what they originally depicted.
