NINA TSY (nina tsybolskaia) is an architect and researcher based in Northern Norway, Alta. In 2019 she received a master’s degree from the Oslo Academy of the Arts and in the same year received the prize in the nomination in Best Talent Award; Designers Saturday Oslo. Currently, she works at Haldde Arkitekter and is one of the founders Keramikkfamilien.
Her work as an interior architect and artisan allows for creating an open dialogue between tactility, design, and art in the ratio of scale of the body and the space around.
Ninas' works are interdisciplinary and invite the interaction of different disciplines with each other, where there is a subtle contact between space and craft that goes beyond the material and the body.
Natalie TSYU is an interdisciplinary artist and researcher based in Oslo - Tokyo. One of the most important aspects of her artistic practice is an exploration of the memory of the landscape. For her research, TSYU turns to the ethnography of the place through the archaism of the locality, texts, and the memory of generations. Immersion in folklore and anthropology of movement allows her to find spaces for rethinking artistic performative methods in the context of social memory in geographically isolated places.
Natalie TSYU manifests her research projects through experimental para-archives, fieldwork, audio-visual narrations, sound, and performance, accompanied by artistic books, graphics, and diverse forms of essays. She graduated from The Oslo National Academy in 2019 and is part of the artistic research project DUNKE-DUNK related to the reconstruction of being in the north of Norway. The research received sponsorship from The Norwegian Barents Secretariat in 2020 and was published in VIS - Nordic Journal for Artistic Research in 2023. In 2022, Natalie received a Japanese government scholarship for: (Un)mute performance: Developing an artistic methodology for ontological instruments based on the history of sound art in Japan (1980-2000) and Hirayama Ikuo Culture and Arts Award 平山郁夫文化芸術賞 in 2023. Currently, she is conducting the research project: “Sacred History and Social Memory: Tracing Forgotten Roots - Borderline of Archiving & Circulation” in Hokkaido under the JREX fellowship and GEIDAI, Global Art Practice program.
