Antoinette Zwirchmayr
Antoinette Zwirchmayr’s work consists of concise juxtapositions that reveal sensitive relationships between human beings, objects and nature. The artist investigates stereotypical ideas of physique and identity through abstract fiction films, autobiographical memory tales, film adaptations of theoretical books, and fragmented picture compositions. Through the fusion of materials, colors, surfaces, and textures, Zwirchmayr attempts to evoke a sensory experiencing realm.
Antoinette Zwirchmayr has exhibited work at McEvoy Foundation for the Arts, San Francisco; Galerie Nationale du Jeu de Paume, Paris; MUMOK, Viena; Berlinale; Toronto International Film Festival; and Austrian Film Museum, among others.

Charisse Pearlina Weston
Charisse Pearlina Weston’s creative work emerges from deep material investigations of poetics and the autobiographical. She utilizes glass to conceptually embody both the everyday risk of anti-black violence and the precocity and malleability of blackness in the face of this violence. She deploys language and the autobiographical to examine the delicate intimacies and reticent poetics underlying black life. She reuses and re-articulates materials from past installations to formulate the next to represent meaning’s capacity to shatter.
Charisse Pearlina Weston has exhibited work at the Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts, New York; and Praz-Delavallade Gallery, Los Angeles, among others.
