Paolo Bini
Paolo Bini’s artistic research is an investigatory attempt to transform and re-appropriate the authentic notions of ‘the memory of an image’ as it adheres to the contemporary rhythms in the world around us. These images are formed as a pixilation of units. Usually marked out by a scanner or a plotter, the result is a succession of colored stripes that become a succinct and redefined translation of what came before.
Paolo Bini has exhibited work at Galleria Alberto Peola, Turin; Museo MADRE, Naples; and Reggia di Caserta, all Italy, among others.

Tina Lechner
Working with analog photography, Tina Lechner uses her camera as an instrument to explore identity, depict subjectivity, and open the gaze to an apocalyptic vision of (post-) modernity. In her photographs the human body is coated in self-produced sculptural objects that suggest some sort of science fiction-esque rebirth undermining the cultural construction of femininity.
Tina Lechner has exhibited work at C/O Berlin; Weltmuseum, Vienna; and Belvedere 21, Vienna, among others.

Alicja Gaskon
Alicja Gaskon uses lines and maps to tell stories about conflict, borders, migration and identity. She uses mapping as a narrative process to investigate social and political spaces and networks. Her practice is research-based and ranges from painting and installation to video and performance. The works incorporate military maps, satellite images, and statistical data that are later translated into a reduced language based on the collected information.
Alicja Gaskon has exhibited work at Galeria Labirynt, Lublin; Lengyel Intézet, Budapest; and Korean Cultural Center New York, among others.
