This artist always has a pencil and a camera within reach. Her primary artistic media is drawing, painting and photography. For 30 years, the hunt for identity and resolution led Diedrichsen through various media that are linked to each other by an interest in space, territory and the existential. And the themes are to be found everywhere, irrespective of where she happens to be: at home, travelling, nearby things, distant things, objects, places, television, herself. She photographs with the sensitivity of a painter focusing on the atmosphere, light and colour.

A Norwegian conceptual artist of singular talent, Vaara was recently awarded the renowned Ars Fennica Prize. Known for his performance art as a man painted white all over, his action is existence, walking around in a neat suit with a briefcase in his hand. The white man embodied many different dimensions and references, but the most fascinating of them was the sculpture tradition. In the exhibition context the white marble or plaster sculpture is a normal image of a human being, but outside the museum precisely the same interpretation becomes abnormal. Vaara has taken the idea of a living sculpture into the museum and also developed a glass-case-doll version of it. When his performances do not involve movement, they become endurance tests, humor is mingled with fakir-like suffering: a body shivering with cold is a living musical instrument, which rattles panes of glass, limbs glued high up on a display window create a decorative structure, like a modern sculpture.
