Constanza Levine
Constanza Levine has devoted her practice to investigating color on bi-dimensional surfaces. Although she has been experimenting with volume, the genesis of her work comes from the observation of the movement of large bodies of water and how reflections result in fragments and geometrical shapes. She has filtered her whole life into shapes and colors, where not only her emotions, but also whatever catches her eye undergo the same process of categorization.
Constanza Levine graduated from Universidad Finis Terrae as a Visual Artist in 1996. She has had two solo exhibitions: Mi Color at Universidad de Los Andes, Santiago, 2005 and Mares y demases at Teatro de Zapallar, Valparaíso, 2008.

Claudia Passeri
Claudia Passeri creates site-specific interventions and contextual pieces that explore human perception in relation to place. Depending on the site and the context, the work takes on social, political, and environmental aspects. Her research has a neo-romantic aspect that seeks, frequently via the use of irony, to reveal the mechanisms that activate the human creative processes, which transform how we view the world.
Claudia Passeri (Born 1977 Luxembourg) lives and works between Luxembourg and Perugia, Italy. Her work has been regularly exhibited in Belgium, France, Italy, Germany and Luxembourg. In 2007, she co-founded the Agence Borderline, a public art project born in the context of the European cultural year 2007 In Luxembourg.

Moussa Kone
Moussa Kone engages with dichotomies and simultaneously with their synthesis on both a formal level and in terms of the content. Notions of hierarchical relationships between discourse and the visual, outmoded ascriptions of artistic disciplines or role patterns, have made way for a softening of binary structures where no one side is favored over the other. This applies when Kone engages in his full-time pursuit, drawing. Hard contrasts dominate the fine detailed execution of the drawings. Painstakingly executed, systematically applied rows of penned cross-hatching structure his images in black and-white surfaces and complete the composition as a homogenous unity. Objects or installation stem from this formal vocabulary and the drawn setting continues into the real space.
Moussa Kone (born 1978) lives and works in Vienna, Austria. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Applied Arts, Vienna. His work has been shown at Georg Kargl Fine Arts, Vienna; Charim Gallery, Vienna; Charim Ungar Contemporary, Berlin; Art Cologne New Positions Programme; Art Futures Section, Art Hong Kong; Townhouse, Zurich; Essl Collection, Klosterneuburg, Kunstraum Innsbruck; Galerie Traklhaus, Salzburg; Künstlerhaus Dortmund; and Red Gate Gallery Studios, Beijing. He co-founded the artist association Kunstwerft and realized art projects in Austria and Germany. Recent publications include Manual, Kerber Artbooks, Berlin, 2011; Diabelli, Harpune Verlag, Vienna, 2011 and Nocturnes, Literaturedition Niederösterreich, Vienna, 2012. Kone is represented by Charim Gallery, Vienna.
