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.
