Gil Yefman
A trans-disciplinary conceptual artist, Gil Yefman deconstructs and transforms canonized myths from varied beliefs and traditions. By undermining structured definitions and portrayal of the other, Yefman explores and cherishes the intrinsic potential of the extraordinary. Yefman’s collaborative projects fuse memory, trauma and body, with trans-generational multilayered relations where soft materials dissolve hard subject matters. Yefman uses archival materials as points of departure from which the knitting process resembles writing–texts and contexts become textures suggesting alternative interpretations to dogmatic translations.
Gil Yefman has exhibited work at Tel Aviv Museum of Art, Israel; Espace Culturel Louis Vuitton, France; and Aomori Contemporary Art Centre, Japan, among others.

Anthony Iacono
Anthony Iacono works primarily in collage from cut-out sections of painted papers. Influenced by the aesthetics of film posters and voyeuristic erotic thrillers, the seemingly mundane scenarios he creates are offset by a suggestive, gradated palette that are wrought with coded language and suspense.
Anthony Iacono has exhibited work at The Approach Gallery, London; P.P.O.W Gallery, New York; and Marinaro, New York, among others.

Sarah Zapata
Sarah Zapata is a Brooklyn-based artist and writer. Through large-scale handmade textiles, her practice explores themes of tradition, architecture, and queerness, using cloth to adorn the space to direct the body. Invoking an imagined sense of time, her site-specific works reflect her intersecting identities as a queer woman of Peruvian heritage raised in Evangelical South Texas and now based in New York.
Sarah Zapata has exhibited work at ASU Art Museum, Arizona; Kemper Museum of Contemporary Art, Missouri; and Barbican Centre, London, among others.
