Elise Kirk
Elise Kirk is a photofilmic artist exploring the human psyche, constructs of place, and shifting ecology. She develops long-form photo-based projects, weaving illusions of documentary veracity, narrative allegory, and cinematic continuity into lyric sequences that question perception and certainty.
Elise Kirk has exhibited work at ClampArt, New York; The Center for Photography at Woodstock, New York; and Kimmel Harding Nelson Center for the Arts, Nebraska City, among others.

Frank WANG Yefeng
Frank WANG Yefeng works across various media, including 3D animation, video installation, sculpture, and writing. His migratory experience at a young age drives him to explore his reality as a multicultural individual. The estrangement of the origin and the absence of home turn “in-betweenness” into his constant dwelling. Ambivalent characters play essential roles in Yefeng’s works, where he explores the transmission of affect and the in-between states of nomadic subjects in both virtual and physical realms.
Frank WANG Yefeng has exhibited work at BRIC Biennial, Brooklyn; Hyundai Motorstudio Beijing, China; and Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai, among others.

Shoji Kato
Shoji Kato works with diverse mediums including paintings, sculptures, photographs, installations, and situations; at times, he employs sound, music, and moving images as well. This range reflects Kato’s multiscalar and multi-faceted approaches to the theme that he calls the ‘location of subjectivity.’ The artist explores ideas that are neither bounded to physical bodies and places. Moving between abstract and figurative thinking, Kato works with both solid and elusive materials to invite imagination and meditation about the interplay of collective movements and individual moments.
Shoji Kato has exhibited work at Kunsthalle Helsinki, Finland; Kanazu Forest of Creation Museum, Japan; and Beijing International Art Biennale, China, among others.
