Henni Alftan’s solo show features all-new paintings and the artist’s first-ever presentation of drawings. Alftan’s artistic practice is grounded in a profound exploration of the medium of painting, examining its methods and histories. Her intimately familiar yet intriguingly enigmatic portrayals of everyday life arise from a process of observation and deduction, resulting in precise and carefully cropped figurative works that embody a studied economy of means. By skillfully employing scale, perspective and texture, Alftan reveals the strangeness of the ordinary.

Andrea Zittel’s latest project, ”The Public Performance of the Self”, hinges on the dual meaning of the term ‘to perform’, which signifies both to conduct an action and to present oneself to an audience. Zittel ‘performs herself’, participating in the various activities of everyday life in the public realm while documenting with a phone camera and written reports. With subtle dry humour, Zittel touches on both personal and universal themes – mental well-being, social roles, online culture, and her own art making – engaging with the enduring question of how we craft and present ourselves to others.
