Chao-Tsai Chiu
Chiu’s work focuses on interactive mechanisms. He considers ‘interaction’ as the core concept of his work. An interactive mechanism is embedded in the work, and through the involvement of its audience, the structure of the work deviates from its usual rigid form and becomes dynamic and ever-changing , providing the audience with instant feedback. Chiu hopes that the mechanism will create a more reciprocal relationship between the work and its audience and thus the latter gains a sense of release from reality, or more, to fulfill one’s desire to manipulate and control.
Chiu Chao-Tsai was born in Miaoli, Taiwan in 1977. He obtained his M. F. A. degree from Taipei National University of the Arts. Chiu currently lives and works in Taipei. Chiu’s solo exhibitions include The World of Fatigue, VT Artsalon, Taipei, 2009; The Object Park of Gravity, Hong-Gah Museum, Taipei, 2004.

Edgar Leciejewski
Leciejewski explores the various social and scientific uses of photography. His work employs an experimental, analytic approach to the medium of photography by using various techniques and media. Besides content-related issues and the reflection of his own work, he is interested in issues such as the rhetoric of the photographic series, the photographic genre, the composition, and how as much time as possible can fit in a single photographic image. His pictures are repositories of time that allow for the slowing down of the act of seeing. Leciejewski lives and works in Leipzig, Germany.

Alberto Borea
Borea’s work is characterized by the continuous displacement and use of diverse media and materials. The openness toward these media define Borea’s approach, where the object’s time and history are of fundamental importance within the plastic discourse. His work explores the relationship between different cultures and histories. The role of distance in cultural, economic and social events constitute an important part in the process and execution of his works. Borea has exhibited individually and collectively in several venues in Europe, Latin America and the U.S.
Alberto Borea was part of There Is No Flag Large Enough, a collaborative project with Stefano Cagol and Maryam Najd.
