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. 

Katharina Gruzei

Katharina Gruzei works in various media including photography, video, film, sound, installation and art in public space. She is interested in socio-political topics and media inherent themes. The discussion of ‘labour / work’ is a recurring theme in her practice. For her installations, she often uses archive materials in a feminist approach. She also develops site-specific artworks that incorporate the distinct qualities of public space.

Katharina Gruzei lives and works in Vienna and Linz, Austria. She has exhibited work internationally at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum; Moscow International Biennale for Young Art; Screen City Biennial, Stavanger; WRO Media Art Biennale, Wroclaw; MACT/CACT Arte Contemporanea Ticino, Bellinzona, Switzerland; MAK – Museum of Applied Arts, Vienna; Peresvetov Pereulok Gallery, Moscow; Fondazione Fotografia, Modena; MK Museum of Modern Art, Carinthia; among others. Gruzei recently has solo exhibition at Lentos Art Museum, Linz; and Charim Gallery, Vienna.
