Bianca Argimón
Bianca Argimón takes a multidimensional approach to explore societal nuances, challenges, and oddities, creating a dynamic space for paradoxical situations and metaphors. She incorporates visual elements in her work to create puzzles that challenge viewers to understand her unfolding narratives, and adds kafkaesque aspects into her sculpture and installation to reinvent familiar objects. She has recently delved into filmmaking, producing her debut short film ‘Sol y Sombra’, widening the scope of her artistic research.
Bianca Argimón has exhibited work at Palais Tokyo, France; Fondation Lambert, France; Copenhagen Contemporary, Denmark, among others.

Valentina Furian
Valentina Furian’s practice explores the connection between reality and fiction, pushing the boundary between this duality. Her research is focused on the existing relationship between humans and natural beings; examining the worth of the wilderness, animal and human domestication as a kind of power. As a result, her landscapes are frequently filled with non-human performativity.
Valentina Furian has exhibited work at MAXXI – National Museum of XXI Century Arts, Rome; Rencontres Internationales Paris/Berlin, Paris; and Fundación Proa, Buenos Aires, among others.
