Edith Hammar (SWE), IASPIS Artist in Residence at ISCP in New York
April–June 2026


Edith Hammar (b. 1992, Helsinki) is a visual artist whose primary medium is drawing. Their figurative and often large-scale works are based on autobiographical motifs. The focus lies on gender-transcending characters who interact in various stages of being dressed or undressed. Viewers are invited to explore how discomfort and pleasure intertwine in different everyday situations. The images function as ho******ic mirror worlds in which Hammar challenges intimate and spatial norms.

Hammar was educated at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm and has published two graphic novels, exhibited at institutions including Moderna Museet in Stockholm, and received awards for artistic achievement, most recently the Inez Leander Prize from the Royal Academy of Fine Arts.

Nataliya Zuban, IASPIS Artist in Residence in Gothenburg
1 April 2026–31 May 2026


Nataliya Zuban is an artist based between the Netherlands and Ukraine whose practice
spans sculpture, installation, video, and kinetic media. Her work engages with memory,
trauma, and the material traces of historical and personal events, with a focus on fragility, transformation, and cycles of creation and destruction. Working across unstable and process-driven forms, she develops sculptural environments in which matter operates simultaneously as structure and agent of change. Through systems that shift, erode, or collapse over time, her installations evoke states of curiosity, uncertainty, and tension, reflecting on vulnerability as a shared human and political condition.

During her residency at IASPIS, Nataliya Zuban will experiment with and test prototypes for a kinetic installation focused on tension and duration. The project examines how fragile structures behave under pressure, how time functions as an active element in sculpture, and how kinetic systems shape changing spatial and sensory experiences.

Nataliya Zuban holds an Interdisciplinary PhD from the Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Art and Design, Wroclaw, Poland (2018–2021), and BFA/MFA degrees, Ceramic major, from Lviv National Academy of Arts, Ukraine (2009–2015). Recent residencies include
Rijksakademie, Amsterdam (2023–2025); Senter for keramisk kunst, Ringebu, Norway
(2023); Casa Wabi, Puerto Escondido, Mexico (2022); and EKWC, Oisterwijk, The
Netherlands (2022).

Solo and group exhibitions include Coexistence, RAM Gallery, Oslo (2023); WARÚM
DARÚM WARÚM DARÚM WARÚM, Loods6, Amsterdam (2025); Migration, Ariana
Museum, Geneva, Switzerland (2022); Zenith, MWW Wroclaw Contemporary Museum,
Poland (2019); and Voyage of Discovery, Clayarch Gimhae Museum, South Korea (2017).

The Gardening Bricoleur – an artist talk with nabbteeri


Date: Saturday 11 April 2026
Time: 1–3 pm
Place: Konstföreningen Åkern
Address: Vade 397, Bergsjö
Language: English
Free admission, no reservation needed



In their talk The Gardening Bricoleur, the Finnish artist duo nabbteeri explores questions concerning the contradictions of artistic practice, thinking with the hands, grieving, and learning to be affected, embracing the unknowability of others – much like gardening itself.

After the talk, we invite you to our seed workshop – here, participants can write and fold small seed packets, make simple pots from recycled paper, exchange and sow seeds, share experiences about varieties and cultivation, or simply pause and observe what happens when hands meet soil.

nabbteeri’s residency at Konstföreningen Åkern is conducted in collaboration with IASPIS – the Swedish Arts Grants Committee’s international programme for visual and applied arts and with support from Region Gävleborg.

Richy Carey, IASPIS Artist in Residence in Malmö
6 March–14 June 2026
 
 
Richy Carey is a composer from Glasgow living in the Isle of Skye, Scotland. He works collaboratively with community groups and other artists to make communal sounds that explore the kinds of understanding that can emerge through listening and sounding together. Under the moniker èist sound, he works closely with filmmakers and visual artists to conceptualise, create and install soundtracks and soundscapes, most often experienced in cinemas and galleries. Central to his practice is an interest in the motive tensions between individuality and collectivity in sound, space, and society. Thinking through theories of nonhierarchical and non-binary relation, he creates works that treat difference not as a site of division, but of relation – making these forms of interconnection perceptible and audible.
 
Richy Carey holds a PhD from the University of Glasgow, and taught at various arts institutions across Scotland. Recent solo projects include { stereo – type – music }, 2023, commissioned by Art Night, Dundee / the Tetley, Leeds / FLAMM, Cornwall; Wild Tracks Radio | The Listening Crystal, 2022, commissioned by LUX Scotland / BBC Arts.

Halla Ólafsdóttir, Artist in Residence at the International programme for dance in Stockholm
1 March–29 May 2026


Halla Ólafsdóttir is a choreographer and dancer who attended the Stockholm Ballet Academy and the Master’s Program in Choreography at SKH. She always works collectively and with a feminist perspective, often as part of a choreographic duo. Through collaborations, she wants to challenge the idea of ​​the lone (male) genius and instead create space for support, shared practice and a discourse that broadens the understanding of what dance and choreography can be. A large part of her practice is based on recognizable material from art and popular culture, where she examines what happens when it is put in a different context. Halla likes to use conventions and clichés, and then break them down, stretch them and blur them.


Together with Amanda Apetrea, she has created and toured the performances The Selkie Poetry Reading (2025), Sälkvinnorna (2023), DEAD (2017) and Beauty and the Beast (2011) which won the Prix Jardin d’Europe Awards 2013.

Tsu-tsu, IASPIS Artist in Residence in Stockholm
2 March–24 May 2026



Tsu-tsu is a documentary actor currently based in Yamanashi Prefecture. His practice is guided by ‘tsu-tsu’ (筒). ‘Tsu-tsu’ means ‘hollow’ or ‘cavity’ in Japanese, but derived from his childhood training in Japanese ritual dance, he defines this sensation as a ‘vessel’ of personality common to all humans, one that has been stripped of the attributes formed by words and stereotypes. He reinterprets the act of performance as a ‘centrifuge-like device’ that reveals this vessel. Tsu-tsu has named his series of interviewing and performing as real individuals ‘documentary acting,’ a practice that pursues the very process of ‘one person becoming another’ as its medium.

His work explores what it means to“be with others” in a time shaped by crisis and a sense of ending. Focusing on the complex lives of individuals who are often left out of major public narratives. This is evident in a work where he embodies the everyday life of Toshio Akagi, a government official who died by su***de in connection with the Moritomo Gakuen scandal.

Separately, since 2022, he founded and co-operates ‘6okken’, an artist-run residence in Kawaguchiko, Yamanashi. The project uses six houses for shared living and residence, aiming to restore a ‘sense of possibility’ through communal life and holistic exchange.

During his IASPIS residency, Tsu-tsu will explore the potential of his “tsu-tsu” concept in a cross-cultural setting, seeking elements shared across humanity. By engaging with people from different backgrounds, he aims to further develop the methodology and ethics of his performance practice. His ongoing project, Back-flow to the junction, involves finding, meeting, and performing as individuals around the world who share his exact date of birth, exploring the contingency of life, unexpected connections across distance, and the tension between isolation and solidarity within diversity.

Tsu-tsu graduated from the Department of Management, Faculty of Economics at Gakushuin University in 2019. Since 2022, he has been the co-director of the artist-Rune residence ‘6okken’ (Yamanashi).

Adrien Tinchi, IASPIS Artist in Residence in Stockholm
2 March–24 May 2026



Adrien Tinchi is an artist who lives and works in Paris. Balancing anticipation and memory, his work seeks to produce, reproduce, or witness singular events. His practice explores and engages with the various contexts in which an artwork can be presented, relying on stories rooted in real, virtual, or dreamed encounters, and treating them through as many practices as points of view. These moments, sometimes discreet or even invisible, leave traces of a narrative or serve as a pretext for telling one.

During his IASPIS residency, Adrien will explore the relationship between narrative and cinema, focusing on how cinematic codes can be displaced beyond the screen and its linear time. Working outside conventional film formats while engaging with cinema’s aesthetic and structural principles, he approaches cinema not as a medium but as a set of transferable codes. This research explores new narrative possibilities through shifts in rhythm, duration, and fragmentation, unfolding across painting, music, scriptwriting, and installation.

Adrien Tinchi graduated from the École Supérieure d’Art et de Design de Reims in 2020 and co-founded the artist-run space and publishing platform The Left Place – The Right Space the same year. In 2024, he became the first artist to participate in a mentorship-based residency at CAPC Musée d’art contemporain de Bordeaux. His work has been shown at POUSH, Aubervilliers (2024); Turbulence, Marseille (2023); and The Right Space, Reims (2023), among others, and he has performed at CAPC, Bordeaux (2024) and Galerie GB Agency, Paris (2023). His residencies include a research seminar at the Centre culturel international de Cerisy-la-Salle (2025), a research residency at Cosmos, sciences et sociétés, Paris (2022), and residencies supported by FRAC Champagne-Ardenne, Reims (2021–2022).
