Artist

Guo-Liang Tan

Guo-Liang Tan is a visual artist whose practice centers on painting, from which works in other media and modes of presentation occasionally emerge. Surfaces, whether painterly or not, serve as sites for staging gestures of affect and a haunting dialogue with the ghosts of abstraction. His process is marked by gaps and overlaps, fragmentation, and the gathering of traces. Tan is particularly interested in how these elements expand and reorient our perception of the body, time, and attention.
Guo-Liang Tan has exhibited work at Pola Museum of Art, Hakone, Japan; Singapore Art Museum, Singapore; and Sifang Satellite Space, Shanghai, among others.

Artist

Melanie Ubaldo

Melanie Ubaldo creates monuments to unbelonging. Her artistic practice constitutes an examination of profound intersectionality through autobiography. Her works are characterized by vulnerable autobiographical narratives surrounding racism, prejudice, power, and discrimination. Using diverse media, her large-scale installations address themes of home, memory, poverty, displacement, immigration, and identity. Despite their scale, her works simultaneously convey a delicate quality, mirroring the fragility and precariousness of their subject matter.

Melanie Ubaldo has exhibited work at The National Gallery of Iceland; Akureyri Art Museum; and Reykjavík Art Museum, all in Iceland, among others.
