Juan Zamora
Juan Zamora deals with issues intimately related to human existence. His work is based on drawing as an artistic position; he investigates complex concepts using simple, basic, gestural, and direct language. Zamora gets close to the viewer through the characters, space and situations he depicts on paper, mixing imagination with reality.
Zamora (born 1982, Madrid) studied art at the CES Felipe II, Madrid; AKI University of Enschede, Netherlands; and the European University of Madrid, where he currently works as a professor of art, design and architecture. Recent solo shows include Replay, Moriarty Gallery, Madrid; Where One Sun, Domus Artium (DA2), Salamanca; and Yes I Am, Gallery Beijing Space, Beijing. Group exhibitions include Nulla Dies Sine Linea, Freies Museum, Berlin, Seoul Museum of Art, Seoul, and Instituto Cervantes of Chicago; Time to Come to Avenge, ATRIUM, Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain; Everyday Stories, Hellenic American Union, Athens; and Phantasmagoria Cartoons, ICO Museum, Madrid.

Alberto Tadiello
The work of Alberto Tadiello challenges the boundaries between seemingly disconnected materials, disciplines, or phenomena by searching for their ‘hidden’ links. In many cases Tadiello’s works are ephemeral, occuring in latent states waiting to be activated or resting dormant.
Alberto Tadiello (born 1983, Montecchio Maggiore, Italy) received his education in Visual Arts from IUAV University, Venice. He has exhibited nationally and internationally, with group exhibitions including T2 – Turin Triennale; 50 Moons of Saturn, Foundation Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin; Italian Art To Be Listened To, NCCA, Moscow; Experimental Station, CA2M Centro de Arte Dos de Mayo, Madrid; and Terre Vulnerabili, Hangar Bicocca, Milan. He has also shown at Artissima, Turin, and Art Basel. He won the Furla Prize in 2009 and has taken part in residency programs at Dena Foundation for Contemporary Art, Paris; Gasworks International Residency Programme, London; Villa Arson, Nice; HIAP, Helsinki; and Viafarini, Milan.

Adéla Hrušková
Adéla Hrušková’s curatorial practice deals with the mediation of visual art and visual communication in the field of transfer and information processing. She is interested in acts of mediation, the situation of communication between the onlooker and the artwork, and the perception of the viewer. Hrušková’s projects often engage with the communication process, spectator approach and imagination. Her curatorial practice focuses on emerging contemporary art, particularly photography and time-based media.
