Rita Ponce de Léon “I was born in Lima, Peru, 1982. I live in Mexico City. I get involved in situations that allow, through artistic and learning processes, the generation of frank human ties, even if they are ephemeral, for which the intuitive encounters that the body allows have been useful to me. I decant this diversity of experiences in drawing, as a way to get to know my particular thoughts and share them with others.”

Víctor del Moral (Mexico City, 1987) is a textual artist who lives and works in Mexico. His work moves between words, installation and performance. It explores identity as a negotiation between language and landscape; he uses the materiality of the word, orality and matter to translate the text into its texture, and thus explore it in its graphic, sculptural, choreographic and sound dimensions. He has done residencies and exhibited his work in France, Brazil, Colombia and Ecuador, among others. He has been a beneficiary of programs such as Young Creators of Fonca and the Emerging Artist Award of the Cisneros Foundation.

Jean-Luc Moulène was born in Reims in France in 1955, and studied the aesthetics and science of art in Paris, where he still lives and works. He made his name in the 1990s with a series of photographs of objects, portrayed in a cold and impersonal way. Since the end of the 1990s, Moulène’s practice has explored different means of expression, like sculpture, drawing and installation. His art reflects on the social status of the artist: he is staunchly critical of seductive and beautifying representations, and explores the opposite, often ironically. When asked what are the characteristic elements of his work, he says: ‘absurd evidence, horrible revelation, a burst of laughter…’
He participated in the 2003 Venice Biennale, the 2002 Sao Paolo Biennale and Documenta in 1997. Numerous international institutions have dedicated exhibitions to him, among them the Centre d’Art Contemporain de Genève (2003), the Louvre Museum (2005), Culturgest in Lisbona (2007), Dia:Beacon in New York (2011), the Kunstverein in Hannover (2015) and the Centre Pompidou in Paris (2016).

Yann Gerstberger (Cagnes sur Mer, France, 1983) lives and works in Mexico City. Gerstberger's textile tapestries are inspired by Mexican popular culture, art history, and nature. These works are produced based on an original technique by the artist, mixing natural and industrial techniques. Through his tapestries/ paintings, Yann Gerstberger builds a vernacular vocabulary by making references to Jodorowsky's panic fables, the fantasy of the tropical seen from Europe, post-graffiti and the history of abstraction, with its repertoire of ambiguous and mystical forms.

James Beckett’s (1977, Capetown, South Africa) work in diverse media explores subjects of an historical nature – including the development (and subsequent demise) of European industry, and various systems of display, ranging from the scientific to the cultural. The outcomes of these investigations entertain the peculiarity of human behaviour.

Drawing from word games’ ability to reveal properties of language Marianne Vierø creates nonsensical rebuses in the form of installation, sculpture and print. Like with traditional rebuses the various elements of her work subtract or add to the value of one another leaving the original meaning nullified while another emerges from the sum of all. In this synthesis of values Vierø shifts the balance between material, method and form to construct a visual vocabulary rich with precarious alliances that transcends traditional boundaries of categorization.
Marianne Vierø (1979, Copenhagen, DK) has been a resident artist at Rijksakademie van Beeldende Kunsten in Amsterdam; Triangle Arts Association in NYC; and Künstlerhaus Bethanien in Berlin. Recent solo shows include Dunk at Ellen de Bruijne Projects, Amsterdam (2017); Coat Concave at die Raum, Berlin (2017); and Glyph at 427, Riga (2015). She has participated in group shows at Future Gallery, Berlin; De Vleeshal, Middelburg; the Philadelphia Museum of Art; and 1857, Oslo among others.

The works of Carl Johan Högberg (1979, Sweden, SE/NL) acquire their meaning from the means by which he shuffles and reassembles individual components, re-contextualizing the source material to generate new connections and relationships – reminding us that there are countless ways to interpret a story, a legend or, for that matter, a painting.

Ceel Mogami de Haas (1982, Selebi Phikwe, Botswana). “I grew up on a farm in central France where my parents, my brothers and I steadily developed a fondness for land and culture. Surrounded for 20 years by 200 goats that we milked two times a day, we trained our imagination intensively. Now, through performances, ensembles, poetry, music and other reticular counter systems, I pursue my experiments with works that tend to form clouds of hieroglyphic narratives. In other words I work hard to build and share models of edited abstractions.”

Esteban Baladro was born in 2015 as a result of after-dinner conversations about the arts in Mexico City. Through images on social networks, his comments try to reproduce the generalized opinions of a small and apparently comfortable sector of the city. Without wishing to point beyond the visible exercise of artistic practice, Baladro believes he could embody a new type of critic, one that spreads under the format of the meme.
