Jury’s statement
“Stacey de Voe’s intriguing practice interweaves artistic research, historical materials and fictional narratives. Departing from local urban history with its specific locations, she creates a processing of social issues such as gendered labor, capitalism and class politics. With a focus on social practices, she uses imaginaries that are linked to materials to connect with the audience and to add to the local community. We are looking forward to offering de Voe the opportunity to develop this approach in the former textile factory at Bragegatan.”
