Harry Meadley
Loosely emulating the career trajectory of a comedian, but with the artistic license of needing to neither be funny nor successful, Harry Meadley has gone from delivering an artist talk as one-hour stand-up comedy special, to hosting his own late night talk show, producing an eight episode video series, and has just started the weekly interview-based podcast Ey Up. He is concerned with what it means to be an artist, and concerned about being one.
Harry Meadley is based in Leeds, United Kingdom. He has exhibited work at Liverpool Biennial, 2016; Eastside Projects, Birmingham, 2015; and Northern Gallery of Contemporary Art, Sunderland, 2014, amongst others.

Antonia Low
Antonia Low’s installations, sculptures and photographs are inspired by infrastructures that underline everyday life, such as work spaces, storage rooms, construction sites and archaeological excavations. When she exposes a room’s wiring or presents medieval walls on semi-transparent fabric, she is only rarely concerned with a critique of that specific site. Instead, her interest is in a spatial reconstruction of how the recollections and after images of spaces become fixed in one’s mind and superimposed on an actual space.
Antonia Low has had solo exhibitions at K21 Kunstsammlung NRW Duesseldorf; Palazzo Altemps, Museo Nationale Romano; Kunstverein Braunschweig; Kunstmuseum Bonn; and most recently at Eigen&Art Lab Berlin and Gingko Space Beijing. Her work has been presented in art institutions such as at Irish Museum of Modern Art Dublin; Marres Maastricht; MUDAC Lausanne; Den Frie Udstillingsbygning Copenhagen and MACRO Testaccio, Rome.
