Following the insightful and inspiring first Online Studio Visit last month, we announce our second edition of 2020 taking place on Thursday July 2nd. Our first guest is Jakob Kudsk Steensen, who is internationally known for his large-scale video and XR installations that invite viewers into new ecological realities. Sabrina Ratté also joins as our second guest, together we will explore the architectural and sculptural landscapes of her works.

In a physically-distanced-accepted form, the FIBER Online Studio Visits are a unique opportunity to gain an insight to artistic making processes and learn about the wide variety of contemporary artistic practises in digital culture. Leading up to the FIBER Festival 2020 we will visit two studios every month, where together with the creators we will explore their work processes and the way they adapt to the current COVID-19 reality.
