Marie Munk
Marie Munk is an interdisciplinary artist working primarily with sculpture and installation. She examines how advancements in info-tech, biotech, and commerce shape our environment, behavior, and bodies. Munk creates alternative realities that blend playful and adorable elements with the eerie and unsettling. Using silicone as a metaphor for the body, she explores societal issues through our relationship with physical form. By merging sci-fi and humor in bizarre hypothetical scenarios, Munk offers commentary on our familiar present and an uncertain future.
Marie Munk has exhibited work at Mudam Museum of Modern Art, Luxembourg; Gl. Holtegaard, Denmark; and 7th Anyang Public Art Project (APAP7), Seoul, among others.

Charlie Stein
Charlie Stein’s work explores dominant cultural aesthetics and challenges traditional modes of perception in our digitized, visually overstimulated world. Through extensive research, she translates her insights into drawings, installations, sculptures, and paintings that address social structures, digital media, and communication. Her paintings reflect on contemporary aesthetics, creating a visual language that deconstructs and recontextualizes digital imagery. With degrees in fine art, sociology, and literature, Stein studied under Christian Jankowski and Rainer Ganahl. She is currently a visiting professor at HfbK Hamburg.
Charlie Stein has exhibited work at Manifesta 11, Zürich; Songjiang Art Museum, Shanghai; and SİNOPALE 6, Turkey, among others.

Artist
Michail Michailov
In his practice, Michail Michailov explores fundamental human questions such as: Who am I? Who are we? How do we connect? And what defines our existence? Through his drawings, videos, and performances, he delves deep into these existential concers, staging not just his own “self” but its diverse manifestations within immersive installations that often draw inspiration from the exhibition space itself. His exploration of identity spans from the minutiae of dust settled in his studio to the vast landscape he navigates as a body.
Michail Michailov has exhibited work at Belvedere Palace, Vienna; 2022 Venice Biennale, Venice; and re.riddle, San Francisco, among others.
