Tamara K.E.
Tamara K.E. resists the temptation of a surrogate bureaucratic definition of art, and it is due to the unsharpness and unidentifiability of her selection system that she gets the chance to direct our attention away from media pictures towards her own personality. Having to ask ourselves inevitably in view of her works according to what principle they are combined and exhibited, we admit to ourselves that we cannot identify with the artist on a conscious or on a subconscious level. Her personality remains a mystery to us… (Excerpt from A Private View by Boris Groys)

David Maroto
David Maroto has structured his entire artistic practice around a project called Four Circles. The aim of First Circle is to undermine the established notions of a strong, self-sufficient ego by means of visual, sound and text narratives, deeply rooted in psychoanalysis. As a logical continuation, Second Circle makes use of games and other projects involving a certain kind of participation, in order to open up intersubjective spaces. A full exploration of such spaces and their possibilities will be the subject matter for a future Third Circle. Once he has fulfilled the Four Circles he will have finished his work and, consequently, he will abandon art practice.
David Maroto is a Spanish artist based in The Netherlands. His work has been shown internationally in solo and group exhibitions including S.M.A.K., Ghent, Belgium; ECAT, Toledo, Spain; EFA Project Space, New York; Tina B Festival, Prague, Czech Republic; TENT, Rotterdam, The Netherlands and W139, Amsterdam, The Netherlands. His work based on psychoanalysis research has been exhibited in Freud Dreams Museum, St Petersburg, Russia. His interest in games has led to his art project Disillusion to be publicly presented in a number of game fairs, such as Internationale Spieltage, Essen, Germany. Currently, Maroto is preparing the publication of his first novel, Illusion. Other future projects include a group exhibition at Extra City, Antwerp, Belgium; in the framework of ICI’s Curatorial Intensive; and a solo show in Gallery Sign, Groningen, The Netherlands.

Through their married life they discovered artistic value while searching for resolution for their disputes. Their works are models for looking at the tension in human relationships. They also project an awareness of ‘living together as an adaptation’ in the rapidly globalizing world that we live in. In 2010, they began a participation project called Dialogue. It is an ongoing collaborative drawing of Thai / Thai American couples who live in United States.
