SENSUS - a Berlin-based artist platform - will officially launch from 5 to 6 September at MONOM
SENSUS will feature its LIGHT and DARK series with artist Carla Chan in the MONOM Studio in collaboration with 4DSOUND spatial sound designer William Russell who will compose an original piece. To further explore the Studio’s LIGHT and DARK experience, curator Georgie Pope has meddled with juxtapositions in the Silent Room and MONOM Gallery presenting works by Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg, Isabella Fürnkäs, Yolandé Gouws, Hannah Hallermann and collaborative group George Jasper Stone, Suzannah Pettigrew & cktrl.
SENSUS is an experiential, disruptive platform where curated artists are positioned in a new setting exposing their works alongside the hidden potential of sensory priming. SENSUS seeks to create multidisciplinary events and engage with various audiences to experience the new with each of our five senses – what we see, smell, hear, taste and even feel in the environment. SENSUS events exhibit immersive, interactive and even site specific installations combined with music and entertainment.
The event consists of 3 main parts:
MONOM Studio - Video installation by Carla Chan, custom sound by William Russell
Silent Room & MONOM Gallery - exhibition with Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg, Isabella Fürnkas, Yolandé Gouws, Hannah Hallermann + CGI film collaboration by George Jasper Stone, Suzannah Pettigrew & cktrl

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Carla Chan
Born in 1989 in Hong Kong, lives and works between Berlin and Hong Kong. She works with a variety of media including video, installation, photography and interactive media. Much like the never-ending development of new technology Chan considers media art as a medium with infinite possibilities for artistic expressions. Carla Chan’s is an award winning artist whose work is minimal in style and form. Chan’s works often toys with the blurred boundaries between reality and illusion, figure and abstraction. Her recent work focuses on the ambiguity in nature. Bridging natural transformation and unpredictable computer algorithms, her work is consolidated with a cohesive dynamic between form, means and content, exploring AR and digital media.

George Jasper Stols
is a CGI filmmaker and photographer based in London who produces films, live visuals and artworks. His work can be characterised by constructing vignettes and scenes, that blend digital experiences with physical entities using intuitive, digital processes.

Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s
Born 1987 in Bonn, Germany, lives & works in Berlin. Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s works play with the intersection of materialities and imagery, while deliberately staging painting and photography in the sculptural field. A desire for drawing reveals itself in moments of struggle, employing its unpredictability in her process. The moment when drawing becomes a model and morphs into physicality, allows for the beauty in potential surface failures of the objects that result.
Hannah Sophie Dunkelberg’s art making constantly transforms what is at play and fuses both peculiar yet familiar items and situations: an empty champagne flute begging to be filled, yet at one and residing in the clear plastic painting that is being admired, or sexy digital imagery collaging the oversized tropical forest leaf littering the ground.

Isabella Fürnkäs
Born 1988 in Tokyo, Japan, lives & works between Berlin and Düsseldorf
Isabella Fürnkäs is an artist who works in a variety of media. Her body of work involves equal shares of video, multi-media installation, performance and drawing. By manipulating the viewer, Fürnkäs creates contextual shifts revealing an inherent awkwardness that echoes our own vulnerabilities. The artist combines digital with archaic forms, tying bonds between different materials and contexts, causing friction. She puts the viewer on multiple tracks and wants to amplify the astonishment of the spectator. This creates compositions or settings that generate disruptive yet poetic images, leaving traces on the edge of recognition and alienation.

Yolandé Gouws
Born 1985 South Africa, lives & works in Berlin
Yolandé Gouws creates poetic spatial constructs using elements of weaving and architecture, reminding us of our origins in craft and the interconnectedness of all things. Her artistic practice is inspired by the spatiality of architecture and the complexity and potential of weaving. Gouws has a keen interest in colour theory and a love for materials and their properties.A qualified architect, Yolandé Gouws’ formative years were spent working closely with the Danish-Icelandic artist Olafur Eliasson with whom she developed numerous exhibitions and works.

Hannah Hallermann
Born 1982 in Nuremberg, Germany, lives & works in Berlin
In her multidisciplinary work, Hannah Hallermann combines clear, essential forms with complex social issues. In her sculptures, which partly evoke abstract architectural elements or sports equipment, she explores the relationship between bodies and objects, the contemporary narratives of constant optimization and the need for leaps of faith, new beginnings and breakups. The strong spatial presence of the work is closely linked to a metaphorical level.
Hannah Hallermann's objects and installations are never unambiguous and address individual growth, as well as collective transformation. Her work provides paradox with form and refuses to accept stagnation.
