The Norrie work is two videos, collectively titled aftermath, depicting the site of the LUSI mud volcano in East Java, Indonesia: one showing the activities of local shrimp farmers harvesting in the region, and the other depicting the desolate, near-apocalyptic landscape of the mud's continuing flow (that second is genuinely arresting). Both totally culturally off-base, but the first made me think of Beasts of the Southern Wild and the second reminded me at points of certain Icelandic vistas.
"Fabrik" had some appealing pieces, particularly Sarah crowEST's "... a charge of indeterminacy inseparable from a material body ...", its snippets of fabrics stitched on to cloth plus tea stain called those delightful Tanguy imponderables to mind (I was intrigued, upon googling it a minute ago, to discover that the couple of images online are slightly different from its form as I saw it today, suggesting an organic growth), and Clementine Barnes' 'colour studies', tiny, colourful, finely embroidered pieces which, to continue the theme of comparison to painters, reminded me of Klee's colour block works.
