Katharina Gruzei
Katharina Gruzei is an independent artist working across photography, video, film, sound, and installation. Her practice explores societal tendencies and socio-cultural issues, ranging from gender-related themes to questions shaped by urban environments. A central focus of her work lies in feminist concerns and projects in public space, often realized in site-specific contexts. She studied Cultural Studies and Fine Arts at the University of Arts Linz, UCSB Santa Barbara, and the University of Arts Berlin.
Katharina Gruzei has exhibited work internationally at the Lentos Museum for Contemporary Art, Austria; Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum, Japan; and Kunstforum, Austria, among others.

Suzanne Dittenber
Suzanne Dittenber’s work exists in a space between representation and allegory, parsing books as physical objects from their expected use as vehicles of communication. These simple objects become containers for questions about how knowledge is mediated and expressed. To approach books as subject matter is to engage ideas of story and setting. Dittenber’s work thereby suggests internal intellectual landscapes and psychological narratives.
Suzanne Dittenber has exhibited work at Whitespace Gallery, Atlanta; Indianapolis Art Center; and Florida State University, Tallahassee, among others.
