Ιris Touliatou
Ιris Touliatou (born 1981, Athens, Greece) engages in a conceptual practice, which transposes the political, environmental and affective, and employs various mediums necessary for each intervention. Manifesting in sculpture, photography, sound, scent and text, her work often draws on found objects and creates open forms and shared experiences, to comment on time, intimacy, transience, mortality, economies and states of being.
Ιris Touliatou has exhibited work at The 7th Athens Biennale, Greece; DESTE Foundation for Contemporary Art, Greece; and Palais de Tokyo, France, among others.

Skaus
Skaus is a nomadic art project, a hosting and occupying platform instigated by Håvard Sagen, Mari Kolbeinson, and Markus Bråten. Its existence relies on continual, therefore irreproducible, change. Accumulative by nature, Skaus is a support structure that instigates encounters between sites, artists, institutions, social infrastructures, and the audience. Skaus represents a multi-authored artwork that is not geographically anchored. It explores different forms of collaboration, working towards an informal and shared authorship.
Skaus has exhibited work at Rogaland Kunstsenter and TOU, all Norway, among others.

Josué Mejía
Josué Mejía’s work starts from historical revisions in order to acknowledge the processes that shaped the past; he traces different story lines that allow him to employ historical “inaccuracies” in order to produce alternative narratives that function as counter-histories to the official version. He is currently interviewing objects that were embedded in the narratives of twentieth-century exhibitions between Mexico and the United States in order to evidence their participation in complex diplomatic agreements.
Josué Mejía has exhibited work at Museo Tamayo Arte Contemporáneo, Mexico City, SCAD Museum of Art, Savannah; and Embajada Gallery, San Juan, among others.
