Helene Førde
Helene Førde is an interdisciplinary artist working with installation, sculpture, sound, mechanical or interactive elements, and performance. She uses a site sensitive approach throughout her practice. Førde is interested in exploring perception, awareness, memories, context, and the particular history and character of a space. Her recent works also reflect on cultural history, traditions and patterns of living, in the face of new times, change and prevailing politics.
Helene Førde has exhibited at Galleri F 15, Moss Norway; Møre & Romsdal Art Center, Molde, Norway; and has shown work as part of Bonn Hoeren, Bonn, Germany, among others. She is the winner of the sound art competition Sonotopia 2015.

Pauline Boudry / Renate Lorenz
Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz produce installations that choreograph the tension between visibility and opacity. Their films capture performances in front of the camera, often upsetting normative historical narratives and conventions of spectatorship, as figures and actions across time are staged, layered and re-imagined. Their performers are choreographers, artists and musicians, with whom they are having a long-term conversation about the conditions of performance, the violent history of visibility, the pathologization of bodies, as well as companionship, glamour and resistance.
Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz have exhibited work at PARTICIPANT INC, New York City; Kunsthalle Zürich; and Gwangju Biennale, among others. Pauline Boudry/Renate Lorenz will represent Switzerland at the 2019 Venice Biennale.

Jonas St. Michael

Jonas St. Michael was born in Montreal and holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from Goldsmiths, University of London. He has exhibited works at MOMENTA Biennale de l’image, Montreal; Haus am Lützowplatz, Berlin; and OK Harris Works of Art, New York, among others.
