Felix Shumba
Felix Shumba is a multidisciplinary artist whose practice encompasses drawing, painting, video, text, and installation work. His work attempts at deconstructing spaces (real or imagined)—which he describes as Fold Fields Space (FFS). These are sites generally characterized and haunted by death, trauma, tension, restraint, psychic terror, ecological damage and use of the military as an apparatus of control.
Felix Shumba has exhibited work at Galleria Fonti, Italy; Jahmek Contemporary Art, Angola; and Sharjah Biennial, United Arab Emirates, among others.

Artist
Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi
Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi’s work crosses the boundaries of photography, painting, and printmaking. Rooted in the intercultural sensibility he cultivated growing up in Sunset Park, Brooklyn, his practice reflects on histories shaped by the histories operating under the shadows of globalization. His artistic language draws from the Latin American tradition of double entendre, or “doble sentido,” using allegory to imbue materials and images with layered meanings. This approach stems from his enduring fascination with layering knowledge, circulating imagery, and fragmenting compositions.
Charlie Perez-Tlatenchi has exhibited work at haul gallery, New York; Sikkema Jenkins & Co., New York; and Elizabeth Leach Gallery, Portland, among others.

Artist
Marianne Vlaschits
Marianne Vlaschits creates paintings and installations that explore connections between the human body and the so-called natural world. Drawn to the grotesque and enigmatic, she seeks to break down perceived borders and explore what can be gained by leaving them behind. Her process combines research, subconscious exploration, and experimentation with materials and techniques. For Vlaschits, making art is a negotiation between mind, body, and material, with painting as a sensual, physical experience that activates subconscious knowledge stored in the flesh. Fascinated by humanity’s ancient impulse to paint and the primal creative moment when art comes into being, she examines how paint expands thought across space and time. As a person who stutters, she is particularly interested in painting as a form of language and its potential to represent disabled speech.
Marianne Vlaschits has exhibited work at Kunstwerke, Berlin; Belvedere21. Vienna; and Leopold Museum, Vienna, among others.
