South of No North shows four positions of contemporary sculpture from Germany and Norway. These very different approaches from subtle installation to (at times seemingly) spontaneous sculptural gestures share a passion for material sensibility and clashes / juxtapositions.

Nina Nowak lives and works in Düsseldorf. She is a student of the Düsseldorf Academy of Fine Arts in the class of Tal R. In her work she explores ideas of identity and meaning by the use of different materials.

Samuel Seger lives and works in Kiel. He is a student in the Sculpture Department of the Muthesius Academy of fine Arts. His work investigates the construction and deconstruction of (supposedly) given structures.

Patrick Wagner studied in Kiel, Bergen and Bucharest. He currently lives and works in Bergen, with no idea where he'll end up next. In his prints and sculptures he merges influences from literature and architecture.

Patricia Hansen-Wagner is a student at the Muthesius Academy of Fine Arts, in the class of Jürgen Partenheimer. In her work the fabric wraps itself around the drawing, the print. It gives the line a body, in the same manner as the fold in baroque sculpture creates the body.
