Daniel Boyd
Through his particular methods and techniques, Boyd pushes the viewer towards unstable perceptual, emotional and intellectual readings of his paintings and moving images. He interleaves the remnants of suppressed histories with the anxiety that we cannot fully comprehend our past, a realization even more poignant in the knowledge of the social inequality of Indigenous peoples and their fragmented existence in Australia. He layers different constructions of history that not only grapple with the process of rooting his personal life in his ancestral culture and heritage, but also to connect his art to questions of deep time and space.
Daniel Boyd (born 1982, Australia) lives and works in Australia. Boyd’s work was recently exhibited in All the World’s Futures, 56th International Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia; Kochi-Muziris Biennale, India; The TarraWarra Biennale 2014: Whisper in My Mask, TarraWarra Museum of Art, Healesville, Victoria; A Time for Dreams, IV International Biennale for Young Art, Museum of Moscow; and Post-Picasso: Contemporary Reactions, at the Museu Picasso, Barcelona, Spain. Boyd’s paintings are in major collections such as the Natural History Museum, London; National Gallery of Australia, Canberra; Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Sydney; the National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne; the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery, Hobart; and The Queensland Art Gallery | Gallery of Modern Art, Brisbane.

Andrés Durán
Andrés Durán’s art work has developed around the city of Santiago, Chile, where he has focused his research on various phenomena common to most Latin American cities. Accelerated growth, usually out of planning and order, generates hybrid and eclectic cities. This is the starting point for his images that mix reality and fiction. Durán’s principal interest has been to create experiences with images, using photography, video and digital post-production. He has used different mediums to generate these experiences, such as interventions in advertisement billboards, installations, video installations, and large format photography.
Andrés Durán (born 1974) lives and works in Santiago, Chile. He studied architecture at the Central University of Chile. In 2001, he obtained a degree in fine arts with a major in painting at the University of Arts and Social Sciences (ARCIS), Santiago, Chile. In 2007, he obtained a degree in post production and 3D digital animation, bringing a new visual element to his work. Durán’s work has been exhibited in Chile and abroad, and in the following exhibitions Edited Monument, Metales Pesados Visual, Santiago, Chile, 2015;Exercises to Distract One’s Perception, Chilean National Museum of Fine Arts, 2012; Garden for Rent, Santiago Museum of Contemporary Art, Chile, 2009; Delay, Galería Animal, Santiago, Chile, 2005; and Wasteland, Gabriela Mistral Gallery, 2002.
