Alchemyverse
Alchemyverse was founded in 2020 in New York City by artists Bicheng Liang (b. 1994, China) and Yixuan Shao (b. 1996, China/United States). As a duo, they construct visual and aural assemblages, working across disciplines of installation, print, sound, sculpture, and photography. Focusing on research and experimentation, their hybrid practice resonates with macro-environmental concerns and human dislocation of space, leading them to places such as Oahu and Moa Kea in Hawaii, the American Southwest, the Hudson Highlands, and the Chilean deserts.
Alchemyverse has exhibited work at Bishop Museum, Honolulu; The Catherine Fosnot Art Gallery and Center, New London; and Lenfest Center for the Arts, Columbia University, New York City, among others.

Tali Keren
Tali Keren is a multidisciplinary artist and educator born in Jerusalem and based in Brooklyn. Her performances, videos, and installations center on the formation of political ideology, historical mythologies, and the ongoing legacies of settler colonialism. Through poetic interventions into archival sources, legislative documents, and the creation of immersive documentary installations, Keren seeks to unsettle foundational national myths. Her practice is grounded in collaboration, cross-disciplinary dialogue, and experimental pedagogy as a way to forge new forms of collectivity and political imaginaries.
Tali Keren has exhibited at Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit, Detroit; Queens Museum and Eyebeam, both New York City, among others.

Maria Gabler
María Gabler creates site-specific installations that criticize the places into which they intervene, based on the observation of constructive and architectural characteristics of each individual location, as well as their historical and cultural context. Through her works she interrupts the inner codes and structures that determine the way we relate with spaces. The materials and techniques used by her are generally linked to the field of construction: lumber, OSB, iron, and expanded polystyrene, among others.
María Gabler has exhibited at Galería Gabriela Mistral; Museo de Arte Contemporáneo; and Sala de Arte CCU, all Santiago, Chile, among others.
