Martha Skou
Martha Skou is an interdisciplinary artist who moves freely between audible and visual worlds. Both analytical and experimental, her work toys with opposites in color, shape and/or sound. She has created personal universes surrounding her work both in her collaborations and solo projects. Her language is abstract and atmospheric, with compositions in spatial formats as well as two-dimensional media.
Martha Skou has exhibited her work at the Museum of Arts and Design, New York; Telfair Museums, Savannah; and Pioneer Works, New York, among others.

Daniel Wagener
Daniel Wagener’s photography involves graphic design, staging and urbanism. He focuses on objects and urban landscapes that are both familiar and transgressive to him. He documents traces accidentally left behind by people, and the absurd normality everyday life staging. In their saturated primary colors, Wagener’s photographs portray commonplace scenes that propose new approaches to reality.
Daniel Wagener has exhibited work at Cercle Cité, Luxembourg; Brussels Gallery Weekend, Belgium; and Les Rencontres d’Arles, France, among others.
