Veronika Zajačiková
Veronika Zajačiková’s curatorial practice refers to the possibility of an international dialogue through art. Her research is based in virtual reality and the true world, diverting people from an online reception of art to one related to our human nature. Zajačiková believes that without this expansion of experience people are degraded and impoverished in their humanity.
Zajačiková (born 1981 in Prague, Czech Republic) received a BA degree at Faculty of Arts – Theory and History of Art, Philosophical faculty, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. From September 2010 Zajačiková is an MA student in Curatorial Studies, Faculty of Art and Design, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. She is currently preparing an exhibition at Emil Filla Gallery, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. In 2010 she curated two solo shows of students from Academy of Fine Arts in Prague: Po druhé (For the Second Time), Klubovna 2.patro, Prague, CZ.

Ingrid Hernández
Ingrid Hernández’s artistic practice incorporates methods based on social research techniques, conjugating hemerographic and bibliographic elements, interviews, focus groups, observation and photography. Each project starts with tours of the city to locate communities that she will visit during long periods of time. Hernández works with dwellings constructed by their inhabitants, within poverty-ridden shanty towns. Her work actively pursues the subversion of poverty stereotypes as illustrated in documentary photography with a social focus, which looks at these shantytowns with pity, compassion or exoticism.
Ingrid Hernández (born 1974 in Tijuana, Mexico) lives and works in Tijuana. For over ten years, she has been a teacher, researcher and workshop instructor in educational institutes as well asfor independent associations in Mexico and Bogota. Hernández has also been a part of the art school faculty at Baja California Autonomous University and the Superior School of Visual Arts in Tijuana. Hernández’s work is widely exhibited in museums, art spaces and galleries including Galerie Michel Rein, Paris, France; National Center for Contemporary Art, Moscow, Russia; La Raza Gallery, Los Angeles, CA; Museo de Arte Moderno, México and Museo de Arte Carrillo Gil, México. In 2008 the Mexican National Council for Culture and Arts (CONACULTA) published Irregular, a monograph presenting Hernández’s body of work.

David Jablonowski
David Jablonowski questions the potential of communication in contemporary visual culture. Through sculpture and film, he explores the way language is established and developed and then reproduced technically in relation to political and historical discourse. Jablonowski’s interest in display systems and information transfer has as much to do with the hardware that is used in the staging of knowledge as it has with the knowledge itself. Therepetitive and unsustainable promise of a valid direction of communication is expressed in works which question the understanding of sign systems; making us aware of the transience of visual language.
David Jablonowski (born 1982 in Bochum, Germany) moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2007 where he graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and participated in De Ateliers studio program until 2009. Recent solo shows include Imposition, Schaufenster of the Kunstverein Duesseldorf, Germany; Material Kontingenz at SMBA (Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam), Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Perfection Simple Way at Gallery Luettgenmeijer and 1.33:1, Hard Copy Display Sequences, Multi Channel Projection at Bloombergspace London, UK.
