Jennifer Tee
Jennifer Tee creates symbolic, synthetic, sculptural installations that the visitor can not only contemplate, but also sometimes enter or engage with ritually. Her work often balances seemingly contradictory factors: great sculptural sophistication with a transparency in production and an interest in evoking spiritual realms with active material experimentation. In recent years, Tee’s often-voluminous installations reveal a special interest in being in an in-between state, or what she calls “the soul in Limbo”, in her performances. She researches intermediate forms of cultures and languages, and various forms of religion. She tries to answer questions about the mythology of contemporary human beings, about cultural identity and soul-searching. In her area of research Tee constructs poetic dispositions between fact and fiction, between present and past. Her latest works hover between sculpture and stage, performance and choreography.
Jennifer Tee (born 1973) is based in Amsterdam. She has exhibited internationally, including at the 26th São Paulo Biennial; Gwangju Biennial, 2006; and The World Expo 2010, Shanghai. She was awarded third place in the Prix de Rome in 1999 and the Uriot-prijs by the Rijksacademie van Beeldende Kunsten, Amsterdam, in 2000 and 2001. Recent group shows include: The Knight’s Tour, De Hallen Haarlem, Haarlem, The Netherlands; Feminine and Formal, Triangle France, Marseille, France; Double Dutch, HVCCA, Peekskill, NY: De Nederlandse identiteit?, Museum de Paviljoens, Almere, The Netherlands; and Secret Societies, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt, Germany. In 2010, Tee had a solo show at Eastside Projects, Birmingham, UK, and performed Gridding Sentences at theStedelijk Museum in 2011. Tee is represented by Galerie Fons Welters.

Francisco Montoya Cázarez
Francisco Montoya Cázarez explores the specific identities of his residential contexts in Mexico and Germany in his work, and how they both relate and confront each other. In his most recent drawings, sculptures, performances and films, he attempts to address the social situation in his home country of Mexico. At first glance, Montoya’s works come across as folkloristic clichés that seem to reflect the typical European perception of Mexico, however upon closer inspection one can read an intense examination of the country’s realities.
Francisco Montoya Cázarez (born 1985, Cuernavaca, Mexico) currently lives and works in Berlin and Braunschweig, Germany. He studied at “La Esmeralda” in Mexico City, graduated from the HBK Braunschweig, Germany, in 2010 and became “Meisterschüler” of Prof. Candice Breitz there in 2011. Recently his work has been exhibited in the Kunstverein Wolfsburg, Germany, and he had a solo show, 100 Jahre Karneval, in the Remise of the Kunstverein Braunschweig, Germany, which was accompanied by a catalogue.

Aliki Panagiotopoulou
Aliki Panagiotopoulou explores materials, techniques and modes of narration to create works in an idiosyncratic idiom. Balancing between chronicle, confession, interpretation and invention, her meticulously constructed works act as exaggerated signs of a sublimated origin, resonating with the primitive desire to know an all-encompassing truth and the inevitable acknowledgement that most truth is invented. Through Panagiotopoulou’s drawings, paintings and sculptures, the viewer is confronted with their own idea of beauty, sexuality and sense of self by having to revisit familiar yet unexplored territories.
Aliki Panagiotopoulou (born 1980, Athens) studied Painting at the Athens School of Fine Art and received an MFA in Fine Art Media from the Slade School of Art, London in 2005. She is currently based in Athens, Greece. Recent exhibitions and projects include ‘Personal-Political’ at the 2nd Thessaloniki Biennale, Greece; ‘Petrosphere’ at ReMap3, Athens, Greece and Glasgow International Festival of Visual Art, UK; ARTSCHOOL/UK, Cell Project Space and Whitechapel Gallery, London; The Infinite Chambers of the Beehive that is the World, A.Antonopoulou.Art Gallery, Athens; and B.Y.O.B. at Kunsthalle Athena, Athens.
