Uk-based artist Clare Strand filled a suitcase with selected artefacts spanning her engagement with research and personal collections throughout her 30-year career, and brought them to the NOUA project room. These rarely-seen objects and exhibition souvenirs combined with narrated texts offer a ‘behind the scenes’ look of Strand’s process of making as well as her diverse interests.

In 2020 Clare Strand and Steffi Klenz met at a Private view. Strand commented on Klenz’s over complicated top and in response, Klenz remarked on Strand’s boring grey jumper.
