Veronika Zajačiková
Veronika Zajačiková’s curatorial practice refers to the possibility of an international dialogue through art. Her research is based in virtual reality and the true world, diverting people from an online reception of art to one related to our human nature. Zajačiková believes that without this expansion of experience people are degraded and impoverished in their humanity.
Zajačiková (born 1981 in Prague, Czech Republic) received a BA degree at Faculty of Arts – Theory and History of Art, Philosophical faculty, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. From September 2010 Zajačiková is an MA student in Curatorial Studies, Faculty of Art and Design, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. She is currently preparing an exhibition at Emil Filla Gallery, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. In 2010 she curated two solo shows of students from Academy of Fine Arts in Prague: Po druhé (For the Second Time), Klubovna 2.patro, Prague, CZ.

Anton Terziev
Anton Terziev deals with various contemporary subjects, often with sharp irony. His iconography possesses harsh and critical imagery associated with a specific aestheticization of pain reflecting a common metaphor of governing power relationships in society. Terziev works with painting and objects, as well as in the field of performance. He also has published three books of modern poetry and urban novels. Part of his activity is associated with various actions in the public shere and many of his performances are part of the Ultrafuturo group activities.
Anton Terziev (born 1977) lives and works in Sofia, Bulgaria. He graduated in Ceramics from the National Academy of Arts in Sofia. Terziev’s work has been shown atDonumenta, Regensburg, Germany; On difference 2, Stuttgart, Germany; and Presence of the body, Troy, NY.

David Jablonowski
David Jablonowski questions the potential of communication in contemporary visual culture. Through sculpture and film, he explores the way language is established and developed and then reproduced technically in relation to political and historical discourse. Jablonowski’s interest in display systems and information transfer has as much to do with the hardware that is used in the staging of knowledge as it has with the knowledge itself. Therepetitive and unsustainable promise of a valid direction of communication is expressed in works which question the understanding of sign systems; making us aware of the transience of visual language.
David Jablonowski (born 1982 in Bochum, Germany) moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2007 where he graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and participated in De Ateliers studio program until 2009. Recent solo shows include Imposition, Schaufenster of the Kunstverein Duesseldorf, Germany; Material Kontingenz at SMBA (Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam), Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Perfection Simple Way at Gallery Luettgenmeijer and 1.33:1, Hard Copy Display Sequences, Multi Channel Projection at Bloombergspace London, UK.
