Patrick Tuttofuoco
Patrick Tuttofuoco creates innovative imagined structures, architectural assemblages, films and animations motivated by the urban environment as a site of constant transformation. The use of light and movement characterize Tuttofuoco’s works, which combine immediate sensorial allure with the power to trigger profound theoretical responses. Frequently working in collaboration, Tuttofuoco’s diverse artistic practice seeks to forge new dialogues between public and private, between individuals and the environment they inhabit. Operating on an open, communicative level his works explore architecture as the product of the energy and combined efforts of the people who constructed and live in it, as a human energy that lives through its functionality.
Patrick Tuttofuoco (born 1974, Milan, Italy) lives and works in Berlin and has shown extensively internationally, in both solo and group shows. Recent exhibitions of the artist’s work include: Things are queer, MARTa Herford, Germany; Hundred Stories about Love, 21st Century Museum of Contemporary Art, Kanazawa, Japan; Italics: Italian Art Between Tradition and Revolution 1968-2008, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, and Palazzo Grassi, Venice; TURN ON: Contemporary Italian Art, Art Gallery of Hamilton, Ontario; 10th Havana Biennial: Integration and Resistance in the Global Age; Dandelion, Kunstlerhaus Bethanien, Berlin; 50th Venice Biennial; Folkestone Triennial,

Katharina D. Martin
The work of Katharina D. Martin reflects the essential questions of human existence. Martin links the body, as one’s natural and limited material, to the idea of personal identity. With her videos, objects, and installations she creates a connection to architectural space, both enclosing and defining it. The artifacts of her videos are not treated as simple documentation. Her work creates a unique space in which the spectator finds themselves suspended between the artificial and real, between the visual and tactile. Through this interrelation Martin unveils what is hidden.
Katharina D. Martin (born in Germany) is based in Rotterdam and received a BA in Media Art and a BA in Monumental Art in 2006 from the ArtEZ Institute of the Arts, Enschede, The Netherlands. In 2009 she realized a performance and video project at The Watermill Center, NY. In 2011, she participated in the video exhibition She Devil at MACRO, Rome. Currently she is engaged in a Masters at the Academy of Fine Arts Muenster, Germany.
