KRISTINA LEE PODESVA, in an offshoot of her project, colourschool, has operated since November 2006 as a free school devoted to a speculative study of five colours and has attempted to develop a colour consciousness through presentations, screenings, reading groups, listening labs, and performances, among other activities.

SARAH TURNER unhinges meaning from a fixed origin—via sculptural processes, installation and intervention—she questions authority, authorship and artistic subjectivity

MARILOU LEMMENS and RICHARD IBGHY will present their work There was a bandstand, a two-channel video installation consisting of text, images, monochromes, and voice.

NICOLE BRABANT’s video and photographic works employ golf as a vehicle to enter into a multi-axial critique of contemporary society. In her work Adaptation (Lesson), Brabant documents a staged golf lesson in an attempt to discuss broader issues of racism, classism, and neo-colonial aspects of globalization.

PAUL KAJANDER uses humour and provisional materials to critique contemporary experience.

ELIZABETH MILTON explores how self-transformation can challenge and articulate the distorted sense of reality that consumes our culture of simulation.

COLIN MINER’s new sculpture and paint based works allude to themes of stillness and terror as connected to the vampire. The works build upon his interest in the gothic and the film noir genre, while playing with ideas of anxiety in a search for meaning and context in our present time.
