Nadine Fecht, born 1976, Mannheim, studied Art and Archaeological Drawing at the Academy of Fine Arts Karlsruhe, Humboldt University Berlin, California College of the Arts San Francisco and at the University of the Arts Berlin. Nadine Fecht works primarily as a draftswoman, but also creates videos and space-related installations. Her works often oscillate between drawing and language and are conceptual and gestural expressions of an interest in alternative oppositional movements that question current political rhetoric, content, and status. From 2015-2017 as well as 2018-2019 she was guest lecturer at HBK Braunschweig.
Nadine Fecht is a 2021 Villa Aurora Fellow of the Berlin Senate Department for Culture and Europe.
Marc Fromm, born in 1971 in Langen/Hessen, trained as a carpenter and wood sculptor. He then went to the Burg Giebichenstein Art Academy in Halle to devote himself to the study of the human figure. He also studied at the École des Beaux Arts in Bordeaux. To this day, the human figure in its rapidly changing social fabric is the starting point of his motifs. The examination of basic themes and the contradictions of our time, the madness of everyday life, finds expression in large wooden sculptures and limewood reliefs.
Marc Fromm is the 2021 Villa Aurora Fellow of the Art Foundation Saxony-Anhalt.
Robin Stretz, born 1996 in Pirmasens, lives and works in Frankfurt am Main.
Robin Stretz studied fine arts at the Kunsthochschule Mainz and at the Städelschule in Frankfurt am Main. Stretz works mainly with films and installations. His work negotiates films as objects and their potential to document, collage, and rearrange things without claiming to be truthful or universal in order to find poetic connections and develop a life of their own. Most of his works have their starting point on the edge of film, art or (popular) culture; smaller, seemingly unimportant stories and rumors.
Robin Stretz is Villa Aurora Fellow of the German Academic Scholarship Foundation.
