Thomas Poulsen (FOS)
FOS’ practice investigates how physical space achieves significance through social interaction and how the aesthetics of social space challenge and transform social constructs. Referring to his approach as Social Design, FOS suggests solutions through the investigation of the physicality of social relations. ‘I see the world as constituted of layers – only a small part visible to us – that exists as a reaction of what lies underneath. What we learn and perceive is in our behavior, what isn’t learned is a part of our reactions. Our social construct is a machine in this framework.’

Alexandra Navratil
Alexandra Navratil´s work examines historical and political concepts of perception and their correlations with systems of representations in cinema, architecture and politics. Her works in various media such as photography, collage and video, are deliberate constructions, which attempt to undermine the authority of the image by questioning the means and mechanisms of its production and the codes of its representation. These underlying structures are made visible within the works. Alexandra Navratil (Zürich, Switzerland, 1978) graduated with an MFA from Goldsmiths College in London in 2007. In 2009 she won the Swiss Art Award and the Prix Mobiliere Young Art and has been artist-in-residence at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin (IMMA). She has recently exhibited her work at Formcontent, London; Lothringer13/Laden, Munich; MUSAC, León and Galeria Angels, Barcelona among others.

Juanli Carrion
Juanli Carrión was born in Yecla, Spain in 1982. His artistic practice arises out of an interest in elements/actions that mankind creates/uses to represent reality or identity, and the social-politic relationships that these elements/actions have with existing operating systems. These concerns emerge out of social and political issues surrounding human behavior, both individually and collectively, and speak to the limits of human existence through questioning strategies of representing reality and reconstructing identity.
His artistic practice is developed through media such as installation, video or sculpture and always has a strong photographic background. A photograph is in many occasions the final result or a starting point, as a way of thinking and a key tool of his creative process. Among most recent projects are Atlas Shrugged, Kei-Seki, On Stage-Monuments of Melancholia. Carrión has a B.A in Fine Arts at The University of Grenade and Saint Dennis Paris VIII and an M.F.A in Visual Arts at Polytechnic University of Valencia.
