Since her studies at the École Nationale Supérieure d’Art de la Villa Arson, Gillian Brett has critically explored the relationships that our societies maintain with technologies. Unlike the traditional “anti-industrial” aesthetic, her work does not seek to give a nostalgic form to prototechnological tools.

Michele Gabriele – is a Visual Artist, cuurrently based in Milan, Italy.
“Michele Gabriele’s artistic research focuses on that particular area that lies between the second and third spatial dimensions. The artworks, mainly sculptural, arise from experimentations on the concept of distance, intended as the divergence between representation and physicality, between digital and material, and in full between space and time that exist between observer and artwork. Michele Gabriele’s work explores the sense of inadequacy that arises from the comparison between the progressive vision of an eco-sustainable future, which contemplates a solution to the problems posed by capitalism and climate change, and the ruinous disenchantment given by the impossibility of its concrete and complete realization.” — Treti Galaxie

Rodrigo Hernández – born in 1983 in Mexico City, Mexico, lives and works in Mexico City. Hernández’s highly idiosyncratic visual vocabulary invites, in a similar manner as fiction, the suspension of belief and the adoption of imaginative perception.

Recent exhibitions of his work include: Kestner Gesellschaft, Hannover; Museo Jumex, Mexico City; Museo de Arte Moderno de Medellín, Medellín; Culturgest, Porto; Istanbul Modern, Istanbul; Pinchuk ArtCenter, Kyiv; GaMec, Bergamo; ZKM Museum of Contemporary Art, Karlsruhe; Bonnefanten Museum, Maastricht; among others. https://rodrigo-hernandez.net/
