Veronika Zajačiková
Veronika Zajačiková’s curatorial practice refers to the possibility of an international dialogue through art. Her research is based in virtual reality and the true world, diverting people from an online reception of art to one related to our human nature. Zajačiková believes that without this expansion of experience people are degraded and impoverished in their humanity.
Zajačiková (born 1981 in Prague, Czech Republic) received a BA degree at Faculty of Arts – Theory and History of Art, Philosophical faculty, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. From September 2010 Zajačiková is an MA student in Curatorial Studies, Faculty of Art and Design, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. She is currently preparing an exhibition at Emil Filla Gallery, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. In 2010 she curated two solo shows of students from Academy of Fine Arts in Prague: Po druhé (For the Second Time), Klubovna 2.patro, Prague, CZ.

Patricia Dauder
The will to see and to represent beyond the immediate surrounding visible and object world is the urge that conducts Patricia Dauder’s work. She captures and visualizes what is extremely difficult to retain: time, a fleeting moment, an ephemeral trajectory, an idea, something with no form, a remote place. Her work is essentially visual, a common feature to all the media she uses, whether they are three-dimensional objects, drawings, photos, films, or collected images. Their interpretation does not come through a narrative or textual source but solely through observation, which gives way to multiple associations and subtle meanings. Biomorphic traces, elliptically shaped images, gridded linear constructions, references to natural elements mix with allusions to cinematography, experienced as a tool for the observation and for the sequencing of space and time.
Patricia Dauder (born 1973, Barcelona, Spain) studied at the School of Fine Arts in Barcelona, Spain. Recent exhibitions include Lugares Comprometidos: Topografía y Actualidad, Fundación ICO, Madrid, Spain; Los Tiempos de un Lugar, CDAN, Centro de Arte y Naturaleza, Huesca, Spain; Horitzontal/Orbital, Fundació Suñol, Barcelona; Teahupoo, ProjecteSD Gallery, Barcelona; There is No(w) Romanticism, Galerie Les Filles du Calvaire, Brussels, Belgium; Eté 2009, Galerie Jocelyn Wolff, Paris, France; Patricia Dauder and Dani Gal, Galerie Kadel Willborn, Kalsruhe, Germany and 1979: a monument to radical moments; La Virreina, Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona.

David Jablonowski
David Jablonowski questions the potential of communication in contemporary visual culture. Through sculpture and film, he explores the way language is established and developed and then reproduced technically in relation to political and historical discourse. Jablonowski’s interest in display systems and information transfer has as much to do with the hardware that is used in the staging of knowledge as it has with the knowledge itself. Therepetitive and unsustainable promise of a valid direction of communication is expressed in works which question the understanding of sign systems; making us aware of the transience of visual language.
David Jablonowski (born 1982 in Bochum, Germany) moved to Amsterdam, The Netherlands, in 2007 where he graduated from the Gerrit Rietveld Academy and participated in De Ateliers studio program until 2009. Recent solo shows include Imposition, Schaufenster of the Kunstverein Duesseldorf, Germany; Material Kontingenz at SMBA (Stedelijk Museum Bureau Amsterdam), Amsterdam, The Netherlands; Perfection Simple Way at Gallery Luettgenmeijer and 1.33:1, Hard Copy Display Sequences, Multi Channel Projection at Bloombergspace London, UK. Group exhibitions include Monumentalism, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam, The dutch identity?, De Paviljoens, Almere, The Netherlands; After Architects, Kunsthalle Basel, Basel, Switzerland; Woodman, Woodman, Spare That Tree, Gallery Luettgenmeijer, Berlin, Germany.
