The artist obtained a degree at the Accademia di Belle Arti di Brera, Milan, Italy and at the Städelschule, Staatliche Hochschule für Bildende Künste, Meisterschülerin, Frankfurt, Germany.
She creates soft, tactile sculptures from extensive research into traditional craft techniques and material experimentation. Her practice focuses on natural materials and she defines her work with the expression “seeing with my hands”, as it reflects her way of coming into contact with different textiles and transforming them into unique sculptures. Her research is closely linked to residencies made in direct contact with places and communities.

Zheng Bo

1974, Pechino


Zheng Bo is an ecoqueer artist of ethnic Bai heritage. Through drawing, dance and film, Zheng Bo cultivates intimate relations with plants. These relations are aesthetic, erotic, and political. For him, art does not arise from human creativity, but more- thanhuman vibrancy. Zheng Bo grew up in Beijing and now lives on Lantau Island, Hong Kong. Guided by Daoist wisdom, he grows weedy gardens, living slogans, ecoqueer films, and ecosocialist workshops. These diverse projects, alive and entangled, constitute a garden where he collaborates with both human and nonhuman thinkers and activists. His ecological art practice contributes to an emergent planetary indigeneity. Zheng Bo studied with Douglas Crimp and received his PhD from the Graduate Program in Visual & Cultural Stu- dies, University of Rochester. He taught at China Academy of Art from 2010 to 2013, and currently teaches at the School of Creative Media, City University of Hong Kong, where he leads the Wanwu Practice Group.

In 2022 he is presenting a new forest dance film titled Le Sacre du printemps (Tandvärkstallen) at the 59th Venice Biennale. In 2021 he staged Wanwu Council at Gropius Bau, Berlin and Life is hard. Why do we make it so easy? at Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden, Hong Kong. He has participated in Sydney Biennale, (2022), Liverpool Biennial (2021), Yoko-hama Triennale, (2020), Manifesta (2018), Taipei Biennial, (2018), and Shanghai Biennial, (2016).

His works are in the collections of Power Station of Art in Shanghai, Hong Kong Museum of Art, Singapore Art Museum, Hammer Museum in Los Angeles, tate Modern, among others.

Alberto Di Fabio

1966, Avezzano


His work, draws inspiration from the cosmos and the elements that make up the world of nature. Mixing art, science and spirituality, his painting investigates chemical reactions, mineral fusions, atoms and the neuronal system in relation to the world of astrophysics. Abstract and organic forms spin and vibrate on canvases in bright, pure colours, creating striking contrasts and harmonic scales that engage the viewer in extrasensory kinetic visions.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Illuminazione, StudioDFB, Rome, (2022); From wall to wall, Corte Aprile-Traversa, Muro Leccese, Lecce; Cosmic Dance.

Michael Fliri

1978, Silandro


He graduated from the Akademie der Künste München and Accademia di Belle Arti Bologna in 2004.
Subtle and nuanced, the art of Michael Fliri exists on the thresholds between performance, sculpture, photography and video. In his practice, which cannot be subsumed under any single heading, he investigates concepts such as metamorphosis, mutation and disguise: the protagonists in his work – often Fliri himself – time and again undergo a process of transformation.
Fliri’s actions allow for the construction of suspended reality, images so dense and poetic, so enigmatic and dreamy, account for the continuous and mutable flux to which everything is inevitably drawn, but first of all, they reach each one for us in our personal wish of metamorphosis.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Michael Fliri: Project room, Galerie Italienne, Paris, (2022); La luz nunca ve una sombra, Istituto Italiano di Cultura, Madrid, (2021); Michael Fliri- AniManiMism, Galleria Raffaella Cortese, Milan; Michael Fliri.

Christian Fogarolli

1983, Trento


His theoretical and field research unfolds in archival and museum contexts, from which he draws inspiration with the aim of enhancing little-known heritages. His practice develops at the intersection of visual art and scientific disciplines, investigating how the latter have used the artistic medium to progress. Through historical and archival research, he attempts to deconstruct the binary condition that separates deviance and normality, reflecting on the normative attributions of disease, marginalization and categorization in contemporary society. Fogarolli’s works stimulate critical thinking on the relationship between the mind and the brain, reflecting on how the functional processes of the latter interact with the subjective ones of the mind, and investigating how these acts of thought develop into behaviours considered lawful or prohibited.

His works have been exhibited at: CCCB Centre de Cultura Contemporània de Barcelona; Fundación Telefónica in Madrid; MAMbo, Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, (2022); Benetton Foundation in Treviso, (2021); MAMM Multimedia Art Museum a Mosca; GAM Galleria di Arte Moderna di Torino; Fondazione Gschwandner Reaktor in Vienna; Löwenbraukunst Art Center e schwarzescafé Luma Westbau in Zurich; STATE Experience Science in Berlin; MARe Museum of Contemporary Art in Bucharest; Musée d’histoire de la Médecine a Parigi, (2020); Musée de Grenoble, (2019); Museo Palazzo Fortuny di Venice; MAXXI, Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome; Les Rencontres de la Photographie, Arles, (2018); Galleria Civica Mart, Trento, (2014-18); Haus der Kulturen der Welt di Berlin; Gayté Lyrique di Paris; Hunterian Museum di Glasgow, (2017); 5th Moscow International Biennale, (2016); de Appel arts centre of Amsterdam; Foundation Museum Miniscalchi Erizzo di Verona, (2015); La Maison Rouge di Paris, (2014); Mart - Museo di Arte Moderna e Contemporanea di Rovereto,(2013); dOCUMENTA( 13), Kassel, (2012).

Fernando García-Dory

1978, Madrid


Fernando García-Dory is an artist and agroecologist who lives and works between Madrid and the northern Spanish mountains. His work engages with the relationship between culture and nature, as manifested in multiple contexts, from landscape and the rural, to desires and expectations in relation to identity, crisis, utopia and social change. Interested in the harmonic complexity of biological forms and processes, his work addresses connections and cooperation, from microorganisms to social systems, and from traditional art languages such as drawing to collaborative agroecological projects, actions, and cooperatives.

Recent group exhibitions include: Roundtable: Reports from New Sweden, Tensta Museum, Stockholm, (2013); Confessions of the Imperfect, Van Abbemuseum, Eindhoven, (2014); Gwangju Biennale, Gwangju, (2016); Designed in California, SF MoMA, San Francisco, (2018); SALTWATER: A Theory of Thought Forms, 14th Istanbul Biennial, Istanbul, (2015); Cosmopolis #2-RURALITÉ COSMOPOLITE, Centre Pompidou, Paris, (2019) and Lumbung, documenta fifteen, Kassel, (2022).

Nona Inescu

1991, Bucarest


She completed her studies at the National University of Arts in Bucharest (Photography and Video Department) after studying at the Chelsea College of Art & Design in London (2009-2010) and at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp (2010-2011).
Based on a theoretical and literary perspective, her works focus on the relationship between the human body and the environment and the redefinition of this subject in a post-human key. The mediating properties of the body are rendered in several ways, projecting a translation of the world driven by affect, signalling its position as an interface between self and reality.
Concepts of geological time and our intense interrelation with our surroundings compose an aesthetic of a primal contemporary togetherness in an organic and biological techno-sphere.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Relics. Quarries. Reliquaries, Peles Empire, Berlin, (2022); Waterlily Jaguar, SpazioA, Pistoia, (2021); Corporealle, Künstlerhaus Bremen, Bremen; Acumen, Porcino, ChertLüdde, Berlin, (2019); An animal that was once thought to be a plant that transformed into stone, SpazioA, Pistoia, (2018).

Zora Kreuzer

1986, Bonn


Zora Kreuzer is a light artist based in Berlin, who explores the space with its specific architecture and lighting.
She interacts with these conditions and creates expansive site-specific interventions of light and colour, altering the perception of the space and blurring the line between art and architecture.

Bianca Lee Vasquez

1983, West Miami


Bianca Lee Vasquez, of Cuban and Ecuadorian origins, lives and works in Paris.
Her multi-disciplinary approach cuts across performance, photography, video, sculpture and performative installation to reveal contemplative interactions between the body and the natural world. Vasquez approa- ches photography auto-didactically, furthering the honesty and explorative quality in each image. Her process is a series of casual interpretations linking harmony and the divine with the body and earth. Her work process is a sort of ritual practice that seeks to weave webs between the relevance of these recovered experiences and modern society. In the transference of composing her installations or interventions she re-establishes a visual, sensorial link that harkens back to our primordial instinct.

Her works were exhibited in many venues such as Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Z42 Arte, Rio de Janeiro; Carré Latin Festival, Jardins du Palais Royal, Paris; Instituto Valenciano de Arte Moderno, Valencia; Musée National Eugène-Delacroix, Paris.

Marzia Migliora

1972, Alessandria


Marzia Migliora is an artist based in Turin. In her practice she creates works that elevate even the simplest human activities to moments that narrate excerpts of collective history. Recurring themes in her work are memory as a means of articulating the present and the analysis of labor as an affirmation of participation in the social sphere. In thirty years of work, the artist has also chronicled the dynamics that led to capitalist paradoxes of industrial production as an extractive and divisive phenomenon for communities. In more recent years her works have embraced a multispecies perspective, including that of both animals and plants, contributing to new and necessary insights in times of global climate crisis.

Institutions that have exhibited Marzia Migliora’s work include: Tai Kwun Contemporary, Hong Kong; MAO, Museo d’arte Orientale, Turin; Radius Center for Contemporary Art and Ecology, Delft; Dhaka Art Summit, Dhaka; Museo delle Civiltà, Rome; Museo d’Arte Contemporanea del Castello di Rivoli, Rivoli, Turin; Fondazione Prada, Milan; Fondazione Merz, Turin; MART - Museo d’arte moderna e contemporanea di Trento e Rovereto; MA*GA, Museo arte Gallarate, Gallarate; Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid; Padiglione Italia, 56a Esposizione Internazionale d’Arte, Venice; Museo del Novecento, Milan; Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; MAMbo, Museo d’Arte Moderna di Bologna, Bologna; FACT, Foundation for Art and Creative Technology, Liverpool; Ca’ Rezzonico, Venice; Museo Maxxi, Museo nazionale delle arti del XXI secolo, Rome; OGR Officine Grandi Riparazioni, Turin; Carré d’Art, Nîmes; Serlachius Museum, Mänttä; Le MAGASIN Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble.

Caterina Morigi

1991, Ravenna


She studied at the IUAV of Venice and at the Université Paris 8 – Saint Denis. In her research she focuses on matter and its vital changes, physical and metaphorical terrain of union and exchange. To tackle the substance of things she employs a close-up and timeless gaze, bringing to light apparently distant elements not perceivable to our senses in a normal state. The work becomes a changing and varying device for implementing reversals between subject and frame, centre and edge, and for giving rise to a multitude of different fluid and subjective images.
She teaches at the Accademia di Belle Arti of Florence and travels for artistic residencies, among which the Fundaciòn BilbaoArte (SP), in collaboration with the Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa of Venice.
She won the research grant of Italian Council (2023) and participated in Una Boccata d’Arte 2024, a project of the Fondazione Elpis and Galleria Continua.

Peter Stridsberg

1994, Gothenburg


Peter Stridsberg graduated from the Umeå Academy of Fine Arts in 2019.
With his practice he explores and expands the borderland between personal dimension, nature and staged photography. He reflects on our own notions of what is expected of a landscape or scenery but also what is experienced or interpreted in our storytelling culture today. Storytelling tradition is deeply rooted in our cultural world, and he has long been fascinated by how its positioning and values have been the basis for our approach to depicting nature motifs that are passed on.

Recent solo exhibitions include: Forecast, Klippan Art Gallery, Klippan; Staying in front of new landspaces, Kumla Art Gallery, Kumla, (2022); The border between nature and the scene, Reykjavik Museum of Photography, Reykjavik; As I remember our meeting on meadow, Rotundan Art Gallery, (2020); Three scenes, Mimers Konsthall, Kungälv; Plant where you stand, Alva Hospital Gallery, Umeå; My way home through the edge of the sky, Gallery Gerlesborg, Bohuslän, (2019); The space between you and me, Gothenburg Art Association gallery and Teatergallery, Kalmar, (2018).
