Matan Golan
Matan Golan’s installations explore the relationship between body and matter. He gives voice to bent, fatigue, and discarded forms to resist the order of things and challenge the triumph of the vertical, let alone the erect. His sculptures, whether flaccid, curved or alert, demand that objects be seen not as tools, but as beings: tired, swollen, aroused. Golan embeds moving images within his sculptural compositions, granting them pulse and agency. These performative hybrids blur the line between body and thing.
Matan Golan has exhibited work at Petach Tikva Museum of Art; Israel Mseum; and Tel Aviv Artists Studios Gallery, all in Israel, among others.

Since 2017, he has researched the pre-nuclear history and ecological structures of the Salton Sea in California. His interest in the dialogue between human and geological existence, and the impact of human activity upon nature, originated during his studies in Geography and Environmental Science.

Ulises Mazzuca
Ulises Mazzuca works across drawing, painting, installation, and sculpture, constructing emotional cartographies shaped by personal experiences that span from affection to pain. Using a system of ideograms, he translates these memories into visual traces that evoke both presence and absence. His works oscillate between horror vacui and fragmented narrative, generating a tension between fullness and incompletion. Rooted in a language of childhood and intimacy, his practice dissolves the conventions of traditional representation.
Ulises Mazzuca has exhibited work at Collegium, Spain; Museo de Arte Moderno, Buenos Aires; and Universidad Torcuato Di Tella, Buenos Aires, among others.
