Thomas Poulsen (FOS)
FOS’ practice investigates how physical space achieves significance through social interaction and how the aesthetics of social space challenge and transform social constructs. Referring to his approach as Social Design, FOS suggests solutions through the investigation of the physicality of social relations. ‘I see the world as constituted of layers – only a small part visible to us – that exists as a reaction of what lies underneath. What we learn and perceive is in our behavior, what isn’t learned is a part of our reactions. Our social construct is a machine in this framework.’

Juanli Carrion
Juanli Carrión was born in Yecla, Spain in 1982. His artistic practice arises out of an interest in elements/actions that mankind creates/uses to represent reality or identity, and the social-politic relationships that these elements/actions have with existing operating systems. These concerns emerge out of social and political issues surrounding human behavior, both individually and collectively, and speak to the limits of human existence through questioning strategies of representing reality and reconstructing identity.
His artistic practice is developed through media such as installation, video or sculpture and always has a strong photographic background. A photograph is in many occasions the final result or a starting point, as a way of thinking and a key tool of his creative process. Among most recent projects are Atlas Shrugged, Kei-Seki, On Stage-Monuments of Melancholia. Carrión has a B.A in Fine Arts at The University of Grenade and Saint Dennis Paris VIII and an M.F.A in Visual Arts at Polytechnic University of Valencia.
