Cycles of emotion about life hang suspended in Throw Up by Åsa Cederqvist (b. 1975) an on-going collection of sculptural compositions. Her use of mixed mediums including fabric, glass, plastic and wood pulsate with physicality and become personified as the contours of material layers mimic the folds of clothing around a body or the tones of intimately seductive flesh. Cederqvist graduated with an MFA from Konstfack in 2000. She has recently exhibited her works at Bonniers konsthall, Tensta Konsthall and Moderna Museet in Stockholm.
Shopping serves as a creative investigation for Alevtina Kakhidze (b. 1973) who immerses herself into the world of consumer desires by sketching objects displayed in storefront windows. Selected for their decorative appeal, brand name or even purchase price, the objects become drawn, symbolic statements about how one is seduced by an item’s association to beauty, luxury and status. Kakhidze lives in the Ukraine and was an IASPIS resident between February and May 2009. She holds a Fine Art degree (2005) from Jan van Eyck Academie in Maastricht, The Netherlands and she has exhibited in Northern Europe including the Ukraine, The Netherlands and Sweden.
Fredrik Nielsen (b. 1977) explores the seductive relationship between non-conformity and the expectations of society in WannabeKonst. Through a combination of glass sculptures, graffiti and music videos, Nielsen constructs an atmosphere that rocks with rebellious attitude. Nielsen is currently attending the guest student program at Kungliga Konsthögskola in Stockholm. His sculptures have been exhibited in Stockholm and southern Sweden.
Glass Spectacle by Charles Stern (b. 1974) is an installation inspired by the seduction of society’s thoughts and opinions by the media. Stern juxtaposes static glass forms with animated designs to create an overpowering effect which mimics the same, subliminal messaging one receives from media sources. Stern, originally from London, England, is currently working toward completing an MFA at Konstfack. He has exhibited works at numerous venues in Stockholm.

Les formes de séduction, une exposition de groupe organisée par Anne Klontz dispose de quatre artistes, Åsa Cederqvist, Alevtina Kakhidze, Fredrik Nielsen et Charles Stern, dont les travaux sont caractérisés par la séduction qui influence nos vies. Ils donnent des exemples de la façon dont une personne vit la stimulation physique et émotionnelle de la séduction ou par des formes artificielles telles que les médias et le consumérisme définissent les représentations de nos attitudes, relations et modes de vie.
