Talbot Studios invites artists Elaine Grainger and Moa Gustafsson Söndergaard to develop a site-specific intervention for Juxtapose. The duo met during an artist residency in 2022 in Iceland where they made their first site-specific performance work titled Undone.
For Juxtapose the artists will in a similar form explore the ephemeral idea of an art fair with a performance-based work that changes in conversation with the space throughout the fair.
