Moritz Partenheimer

Moritz Partenheimer works with photography to create surreal worlds of their own kind, composed of sites in various locations around the world. He studies the urban microcosm and investigates urban space to define its identity. His focus is on inconspicuous sites, the sort of surroundings that are composed of things we come across every day. His pristine settings seem to be void of human presence, however, their traces are discernable and become an expression of the space wherein the portrayed objects replace humankind. It is through his formal reduction and concentration of the selected objects that we come to better understand their artificial, natural or cultural beauty.

Moritz Partenheimer (born 1979, Munich) studied at the Bauhaus-University, Weimar and at Pratt Institute, New York. In 2006, he graduated from Bauhaus University with a master’s degree and moved to Munich. Recent solo shows include Points of Interest, Gallery Jordanow, Munich; Lost in Translation, Gallery Binz & Krämer, Cologne; and Lost Paradise, Kunstverein Heinsberg. His group exhibitions include Lost in Translation, Deichtorhallen, Hamburg; Bildspuren – Unruhige Gegenwarten, Darmstädter Tage der Fotografie, Germany; and Ist das ein Portrait, Gallery Karin Sachs, Munich.  His work is represented in numerous private collections, as well as public collections, including Museum Pinakothek der Moderne, Munich. He lives and works in Munich and Cologne.

Marco Fusinato

Marco Fusinato’s practice deals with the rhetoric of radical politics (its ambitions and failures), noise as music and the frameworks of conceptual art. Through wide ranging forms of work in gallery contexts and performances, Fusinato foregrounds moments of disruption and impact in which lie the possibility of a shift in perception or change in the course of events.

In 2012, Fusinato presented The Color of the Sky Has Melted a survey exhibition of recent works at Artspace, Sydney and the Institute of Modern Art, Brisbane. His work was also featured in The Imminence of Poetics, 30th Sao Paulo Biennale, 2012; The Inaugural Indian Bienalle in Kochi-Muziris, 2012; The Glasgow International Arts Festival, 2012; Parallel Collisions, the Adelaide Biennale of Australian Art, 2012; Sonic Youth etc. – Sensational Fix, CA2M, Madrid, 2010, Kunsthalle Düsseldorf, and The Museum of Malmo, Sweden, 2009. Fusinato also performs regularly in the experimental music underground. His forthcoming solo LP Origine/Tema will be released shortly by Penultimate Press, London. He is also working on another instalment of his noise festival HATRED OF FANTASTIC.

Eunji Cho

Eunji Cho activates the movement and inherent energy of urban remains, traces and suspended matters such as mud, stone and dust through performance, installation, situationist intervention and writing. She explores the slippage that arises when a modern subject enters another territory and becomes a minority, colonized, and the “other.” In her recent works, she focuses on the socio-psychological landscape of surface elements of the city interpreted by her own intuition and methodologies. Her artistic practice retains a minimalist approach to explore the ways in which certain objects are used in her works. Cho uses a range of media including drawing, video, performance and installation

In 2012, Eunji Cho had her 5th solo exhibition, Poem In Action, at RM Gallery, Auckland. Her selected group exhibitions include Walking Drifting Dragging, New Museum, New York, 2013; Play Time, Culture Station Seoul 284, Seoul, 2012; Dtang, the Mud Said, Duesseldorf Festival, Duesseldorf, 2012; tempus fugit, Kuenstlerverein Malkasten, Duesseldorf, 2012;Media Scape, Nam Jun Paik Art Center, Yongin, 2011; 7th Gwangju Biennale: Annual Report, Gwangju, 2008; Anyang Public Art Project, Anyang,2007; The Multicultural in Our Time, Palais de Tokyo, Paris, 2010; and Cittadellarte Venice, Venice University, Venice, 2005. She also has a female duo performance band, Michelangelo Pistoletto Band and sings about love and cities in various cities all over the world. Eunji Cho lives and works in Seoul.
