Artist

Joshua Thaddeus Rainer

Joshua Thaddeus Rainer’s work is semi-autobiographical and deals with themes of self-awareness and self-criticism. He invites viewers to consider parallels between these personal and sometimes intimate themes and their own lives. Rainer employs inward criticism and introspection as a counterbalance to criticism of the world.

Joshua Thaddeus Rainer has exhibited work at Cranbrook Art Museum; M Contemporary Art; and Harper Gallery of Art & Interiors, all in Michigan, among others.

Artist

Michail Michailov

In his practice, Michail Michailov explores fundamental human questions such as: Who am I? Who are we? How do we connect? And what defines our existence? Through his drawings, videos, and performances, he delves deep into these existential concers, staging not just his own “self” but its diverse manifestations within immersive installations that often draw inspiration from the exhibition space itself. His exploration of identity spans from the minutiae of dust settled in his studio to the vast landscape he navigates as a body.

Michail Michailov has exhibited work at Belvedere Palace, Vienna; 2022 Venice Biennale, Venice; and re.riddle, San Francisco, among others.

Magdalena Ciemierkiewicz

Magdalena Ciemierkiewicz studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Warsaw, where she is currently a PhD candidate. Hailing from the Polish-Ukrainian borderland, she addresses the region’s unique culture and often repressed histories. Her work explores themes such as multidimensional identity, women’s stories, and the intersection of various forms of spirituality. Incorporating video, sound, textiles, and installations, she integrates authentic traditional patterns and objects into a contemporary context.

Magdalena Ciemierkiewicz has exhibited work at Manifesta 14 Prishtina Biennial, Kosovo; Galeria Biała, Poland; and SONIAKH, Poland, among others.
