Black & White Project Space presents Day Zero - a site-specific installation, converging drawing, sculpture, performance and sound by the Swedish artist Anastasia Ax.

Each meeting between the performer and the audience, every destruction of the material at hand, points towards a situation of indeterminacy and free activity where inner and outer can switch place. The raw energies connected with the splashing, the spitting out, the havoc, transform time from linear dimensions into circular moments. New thoughts and new communions take shape through the unpredictable openness of the situation.

Anastasia Ax (b.1979) lives and works in Athens, Greece and Stockholm, Sweden. She studied at the Royal College of Art, Stockholm (2003-2006) and the Royal Danish Art Academy, Copenhagen (2000-2002). Recent solo and group exhibitions include Pan Theon, ActionBabySplash, Moderna Museet, Malmö (2015); Exile, Kunsthalle Athena, Athens (2014); The World As Of Yesterday, UNTITLED, Miami Beach (2014); Swallowed Fear, ISCP, New York (2013); Exile, SINNE, Helsinki (2013); Imagine Death, Swedish Energies, ISSUE Project room (2012); Step into the current, AM art-space, Shanghai (2012). In 2012, she was an artist in residence at International Studio and Curatorial Program (ISCP), New York. Anastasia Ax has been nominated for the International Faber-Castell Drawing Award 2015.
