Tamen Pérez
Tamen Pérez employs non-linear storytelling as an approach in her painting, printmaking, and photography to critique Western notions of time and history as universal creations. She re-mediates images that explore the history of perspective and its relationship to the creation of space and subjecthood. Pérez holds an MFA in Painting and Printmaking from Yale School of Art and a BFA in Painting from the Rhode Island School of Design.
Tamen Pérez has exhibited work at Lyles and King Gallery, New York; Y2K Gallery, New York; and Stadium Galerie, Berlin; among others.

Sasha Wortzel
Sasha Wortzel uses video, photography, installation, sculpture, sound, and printmaking to explore how this country’s past and present are inextricably linked through resonant spaces and their hauntings. Raised in South Florida/Miccosukee and Seminole lands and based in New York City/Lenape lands, Wortzel specifically attends to sites and stories systematically erased or ignored from these regions’ histories. Tangled dynamics of desire and loss layered in the landscape and reverberating across time form a through-line in her work.
Sasha Wortzel has exhibited work at Douglas F. Cooley Memorial Art Gallery, Reed College, Portland; Brooklyn Museum, New York; and New Museum, New York, among others.
