Esther Tielemans
Esther Tielemans examines the foundations of painting by extrapolating opposites: flat and three dimensional; abstraction and figuration; and reality and illusion. Tielemans’ works are reminiscent of dreams or memories in which the barrier between reality and imagination seems to be fading.
Esther Tielemans has exhibited work at Museum Voorlinden, Wassenaar; Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven; and GEM, Museum of Contemporary Art, The Hague, all The Netherlands, among others.

Tali Keren
Tali Keren is a media artist whose work investigates the formation of ideology, violence, and political identity. She often conducts research at sites and organizations that execute state power such as municipalities, political lobby groups, and churches. The materials she collects in these locations result in multi-media installation, performance, and video-based works. Since moving to the United States, Keren has become increasingly interested in looking at USA/Israel/Palestine relations through the intersection of politics, propaganda religion and military technology.
Tali Keren has exhibited work at Eyebeam, New York City; Goethe-Institut New York; and Center for Contemporary Art, Tel Aviv, among others.

Rasmus Søndergaard Johannsen
Rasmus Søndergaard Johannsen creates process-lead works across mediums such as installation, photography and sculpture. Concerned with the transformative abilities of elements and the properties that make up materials, Johannsen engages a scientific approach to his subjects. He creates a ‘formula’ of deconstructed and reassembled components, which is then left to external factors, such as the atmosphere, to determine the outcome.
Rasmus Søndergaard Johannsen has exhibited work at Kunst Bygningen i Vrå, Denmark; Pragovka Gallery, Prague; and KW Institute of Contemporary Art, Berlin, among others.
