Daniel Boyd

Through his particular methods and techniques, Boyd pushes the viewer towards unstable perceptual, emotional and intellectual readings of his paintings and moving images. He interleaves the remnants of suppressed histories with the anxiety that we cannot fully comprehend our past, a realization even more poignant in the knowledge of the social inequality of Indigenous peoples and their fragmented existence in Australia. He layers different constructions of history that not only grapple with the process of rooting his personal life in his ancestral culture and heritage, but also to connect his art to questions of deep time and space.

Daniel Boyd (born 1982, Australia) lives and works in Australia. Boyd’s work was recently exhibited in All the World’s Futures, 56th International Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia; Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India; The TarraWarra Biennale 2014: Whisper in My Mask, TarraWarra Museum of Art, Healesville, Victoria; A Time for Dreams, IV International Biennale for Young Art, Museum of Moscow; and Post-Picasso: Contemporary Reactions, at the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, Spain.

Andrés Durán

Andrés Durán’s art work has developed around the city of Santiago, Chile, where he has focused his research on various phenomena common to most Latin American cities. Accelerated growth, usually out of planning and order, generates hybrid and eclectic cities. This is the starting point for his images that mix reality and fiction. Durán’s principal interest has been to create experiences with images, using photography, video and digital post-production. He has used different mediums to generate these experiences, such as interventions in advertisement billboards, installations, video installations, and large format photography. 

Andrés Durán (born 1974) lives and works in Santiago, Chile. He studied architecture at the Central University of Chile. In 2001, he obtained a degree in fine arts with a major in painting at the University of Arts and Social Sciences (ARCIS), Santiago, Chile. In 2007, he obtained a degree in post production and 3D digital animation, bringing a new visual element to his work. Durán’s work has been exhibited in Chile and abroad, and in the following exhibitions Edited Monument, Metales Pesados Visual, Santiago, Chile, 2015;Exercises to Distract One’s Perception, Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, 2012; Garden for Rent, Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chile, 2009; Delay, Galería Animal, Santiago, Chile, 2005; and Wasteland, Gabriela Mistral Gallery, 2002.

Francesca Grilli

Francesca Grilli’s experimentation explores the realm of sound in its multiple expressive and perceptive implications. Opting to use the language of performance, she moves from private and personal elements into the spectator’s space of action, drawing them into an ambiguous and unsettling territory. Two central concerns can be traced in her research: sound processing in all its forms and the spectator’s space of action. Her poetics are articulated through video, installations and performance, focusing attention on the complexity of an intimate story. She seeks an action of maximum intensity, supported by the element of sound, which the artist considers the most effective means of communicating directly with the personal and collective unconscious.

Francesca Grilli’s work has been exhibited in the following institutions Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, 2015-2017; Vice Versa, Italian Pavilion, Venice Biennale, 2013; Museum of Contemporary Art of Rome, 2012; Museum of Contemporary Art Donnaregina, Naples, 2012; Galleria d’Arte Contemporanea, Monfalcone, 2012; Bologna Museum of Modern Art, 2010; The Serpentine Galleries, London, 2010; and Manifesta 7, The European Biennial of Contemporary Art, Bolzano, 2008.
