Justin Sterling
Justin Sterling is a visual artist and a trumpet player based in New York City. Through recycling and civil disobedience, Sterling appropriates the city to create a poetic storytelling relationship within the urban and domestic, which in turn becomes a catalyst for social, political, and environmental discourse and activism.
Justin Sterling has exhibited work at Houston Museum of African American Culture; MoMA PS1, and Parsons School for Design, both New York, among others.

Anssi Pulkkinen
Anssi Pulkkinen creates sculptural and architectural interventions within interiors and public space. His work is grounded in observations of spaces and the artistic gestures are often delicate operations that distort these observations with humour. Pulkkinen employs materials typically used in construction industry, structural elements and parts of infrastructure. These elements are brought back to a dysfunctional state, a state of becoming of meaning. They disrupt the system of here and now, to rupture viewer’s organization of space and time.
Anssi Pulkkinen has exhibited work at The ARoS Aarhus Kunstmuseum, Denmark; The Helsinki Art Museum and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, both Finland, among others.

Oriane Stender
Oriane Stender’s current work is a hybrid of painting and weaving. She builds structure and surface concurrently, line by line and weft by weft, as a grounding practice. She creates objects that are read and experienced through multiple layers and differing contexts, depending on the viewer’s perspective.
Oriane Stender has exhibited work at Gallery Paule Anglim, San Francisco; Temporary Art Manto, Mantua, Italy; and Lehman College Art Gallery, New York among others.
