Annika Eriksson was born in 1956 in Sweden and works in Berlin and Stockholm. Eriksson addresses different social situations in which people come together, from a Swedish amateur postmen’s band to rappers from traditional Brazilian street culture. She focuses on human interaction and creates platforms for others.Karl Holmqvist was born in Västerås, Sweden, in 1964, and now lives and works in Berlin. Holmqvist uses texts, presented in written or spoken form, to address to the ethics and aesthetics of issues such as politics and religion. The resulting installations of his work are usually minimal and functional; boxes of published texts, computers and listening stations. Carsten Höller was born in 1961 in Brussels, and began work in science before venturing in art. His work deals with emotions, amplifying the viewers’ senses with his challenging, intricate and technically sophisticated pieces. Much of his work is based on his audience’s feelings after experiencing the piece: the viewer is a necessary ingredient for Höller’s often interactive work. 24-Hour Incidental featuring Annika Eriksson, Karl Holmqvist and Carsten HöllerSwiss Institute – Contemporary Art495 Broadway, New York CityNovember 5 at 12 pm – November 6 at 12 pmFor more information: www.performa-arts.org
