Younes Baba-Ali
Younes Baba-Ali makes art that is unconventional and critical, mostly in public space or places uncommon to art practice. He holds a mirror up to society and confronts it with its ingrained habits and dysfunctions. Baba-Ali’s work often assumes the form of the readymade, but underneath its facade of simplicity there is a complex exercise in balance at work. He integrates technology, objects, sound, video and photography with political, social and ecological issues.
Younes Baba-Ali has exhibited work at ZKM | Center for Art and Media, Karlsruhe, Germany; BOZAR – Centre for Fine Arts, Brussels, Belgium; and MACAAL, Marrakech, Morocco, among others.

Julie Nagle
Julie Nagle’s current work explores the intimate relationship between ancestry, mortality, and humanities’ place among other species. She appropriates and recasts methods and research from the sciences to explore how they enter our personal lives. Throughout her practice, Nagle interweaves seemingly disparate ideologies, carving out complex spaces to re-imagine what we think we understand.
Julie Nagle has exhibited work at Penn State Altoona; Museum of Fine Arts, Houston; and Socrates Sculpture Park, New York, among others.
