On Falling

Nora Aurrekoetxea is a Basque artist currently in residence at the Rijksakademie. She graduated in Fine Arts at the University of The Basque Country and holds an MA in Sculpture at Royal College of Art, London. Her sculptural practice questions the function of objects in close proximity to the body and architecture while exploring questions related to the emotional aspects of intimate spheres. She proposes workshops as a method to exchange and expand her sculptural practice through writing and movement in collaboration with other artists and participants. The process of this collective research enables exploring vital positions in relationship to the form while exploring the relationship between written, oral and body language.  

Adam Russell-Jones is a UK born, Berlin based artist with a background in classical ballet and a growing practice in contemporary performance.
