Jojo Gronostay
Jojo Gronostay’s practice investigates issues of identity and representation, as well as platforms, recycling, and the in-between. His work delves into the political and economic frameworks that exist between formerly colonized African countries and the Western world, as well as themes such as economy and value, as well as the exchange of people and goods between the two continents. Through platforms such as DWMC, he also creates structures for himself to intervene in these cycles.
Jojo Gronostay has exhibited work at Mumok, Austria; MAK Vienna, Austria, and Bundeskunsthalle, Germany, among others.

Nika Schmitt
Nika Schmitt’s kinetic sculptures and installations are distinguished by a unique combination of sound, electronics, and mechanics. Her work examines complex physical processes in a simple and straightforward manner. The compositions, which are mostly site-specific, investigate the principles of energy, material, and time, reflecting on the interrelationships and impacts that each of these elements elicit in cycles of repetition (rhythm), deterioration, and transformation.
Nika Schmitt has exhibited work at Singuhr, Berlin; Ikob, Belgium; and Philharmonie Luxembourg, among others.
