W1555 participants:
Dario D'aronco
Wolphaertstraat 47G
Dario D'Aronco graduated in painting in Rome and continued his education at the Van Eyck Academy in Maastricht. His work concentrates within the canon of art history in order to examine complex contemporary mental states. His works exist in the point of tension between abstraction and figuration, between apparition and emptiness, by utilizing 3D printing and his painting technique to reinterpret archaeological artifacts and everyday objects in a possible new scenario.
Petar Tuškan
Wolphaertstraat 41E
"Tuškan's paintings are as spontaneus and emotional as they are thoughtful and precise. Often innately beautiful and disruptive at the same time, they are not only intoxicating in themselves, but above all they are also the reflection of an intoxication - not as an escape into ecstasy, but the kind of intoxication that turns you inside out and puts you in touch with your innermost self at the deepest level."
Author Mischa Andriessen, from the book Petar Tuškan - The Unknown Landscape, Van Spijk ARt books 2022.

Katrina Niebergal
Wolphaertstraat 15C
Katrina Niebergal is a Canadian-born, Rotterdam-based artist, working across various media and processes, including research, filmmaking, scenographic installation, sculpture, sound and language. Increasingly, she is combining these into long-term, multifaceted, story-telling and world-making projects with an emphasis on poetic logic; the dubious and multiform subject of the womanly “irrational”, and the pre-historic and speculative-future epochs as possible times before and after patriarchy. Her current work, a research-led, experimental filmmaking project, concerns the celestial bodies and the conquest of space.
