New York artist Elizabeth Cooper creates dynamic colour-spaces in her abstract paintings. In a long process she pours layer after layer of paint on the canvas while it is lying on the floor. The successive layers generate their own special three-dimensional and dynamic quality. Abstraction in Cooper's work means a mixture of pop, gesture and expression. Colour is conceived as a physical element, which gives the paintings an intensive colourful and gestural expression. Cooper's paintings invite the viewer into a colourful space, which is defined by a physically observable colour-space experience.

Cooper's paintings are accompanied by a new video from Swiss artist Luzia Hürzeler. Behind her work often lies a sculptural idea, which she confronts with the material world. In this process she decontextualizes elements and looks for new ways to put them together again. The constructions and situations which result from these processes are existential reflections and temporal experiences concerning the issue of body and physicalness in their presence and absence. Her videos may first appear to be funny questions, but can cause an unexpected shift which confronts the viewer with existential questions about fear, aggression and sexuality.
