Anton Cabaleiro
Anton Cabaleiro explores the relationship between new technologies and society through digital means. His work includes the different phases of the creative process, from graphic design stages to the final audiovisual result. In his single-channel videos and video installations he mixes several techniques, such as motion graphics, animation and augmented reality, to combine real and virtual elements within the same environment. He employs concepts from landscape design, anthropology, philosophy and mass media theories to create a synthetic, clean, compact and direct work; paying special attention to how the various real and virtual layers interact with each other.
Anton Cabaleiro (born 1977 in Spain) received a MFA in Computer Arts from the School of Visual Arts, New York; a MS in Landscape Design from Columbia University, and a PhD in Art, Design and Technology at the Complutense University, Madrid. Past exhibitions include the Bronx Museum Biennial, New York; Armory Show, New York; New York University, New York; Museum of Art and Design, New York; Times Square Public Space Projects, New York; Under the Bridge Festival, New York; Museum of Contemporary Art of Vigo, Spain; the Andalusian Center of Contemporary Art, Spain; ARCO International Fair of Contemporary Art, Madrid; The Cervantes Institute, Beijing; Marisa Marimon Gallery; Marlborough Gallery; and the Loop International Fair of Video, Barcelona.

Keren Benbenisty
Conflict, as a theme, pervades much of Keren Benbenisty’s artistic practice. Suggesting contradiction, paradox and ambiguity, her work invests the conceptual with what appears to be its antithesis – romanticism. By investigating the emotional depths of the individual and its relation to language, Benbenisty’s work brings to mind the tension between the two. Coming from a current western context, there is a significant correspondence with Benbenisty’s oriental Middle Eastern origins. Using drawing, video, and installation, she aims to create “contemporary relics” that straddle diverse cultures and temporal perceptions. Benbenisty transforms objects, images, ready-mades, ephemeral materials and texts from the everyday, the banal, the ordinary, moving towards the unique, the individual.
Keren Benbenisty (born 1977, Herzeliya, Israel) moved to Paris in 1998 and graduated from the Ecole Nationale Supérieur des Beaux-Arts de Paris in 2004. She attended California Institute of the Arts in 2003 and Skowhegan School of Art, Maine, in 2009. Her work has been shown in different venues and art fairs around Europe.

Yen-Hua Lee
Yen-hua Lee works with drawings and light, and her current project involves a collection of timeworn books published in various countries around the world. Lee seeks out the books on her own and accepts donated copies from friends. Anthropomorphizing the books, Lee considers their journey from publication to destination, and she views her time traveling with the books as a dialogue. She is currently developing an installation work and video, and she intends to use incense to make holes on the pages of books, which will then be projected with light. For Lee, creating holes is a process of making space.
Yen-Hua Lee (born Taiwan) graduated from the National Art University of Taiwan in 2002 and earned a MFA in 2007 from Northern Illinois University. Lee has received several art residency fellowships and her work has been shown in Argentina, Austria, Canada, Germany, Italy, Taiwan, and the United States.
