Daniel Barrow
Winnipeg-bred, Montreal-based artist Daniel Barrow uses obsolete technologies to present written, pictorial and cinematic narratives centering on the practices of drawing and collecting. Since 1993, he has created and adapted comic book narratives to ‘manual’ forms of animation by projecting, layering and manipulating drawings on overhead projectors. Barrow is the 2007 winner of Canada Council’s Victor Martyn Lynch-Staunton Award and the 2008 winner of the Images Festival’s Images Prize.

Ho-Jang Liu
Liu uses his photographs as a kind of currency, a transaction, between the people he photographs and the audience.’ (Michael Brakke) Oftentimes his work focuses on documenting the token of an event that has already happened, or observing those who were involved in the event and their behaviors. The image then created from the event can be seen as a reflection of contemporary society. Liu views the absurdities inside our social system with a seemingly subtle and sorrowful but ironic attitude. He lives and works in Taipei.

Carlos Irijalba
Carlos Irijalba studied fine arts at the University of the Basque Country and UDK Berlin. His work analyzes the way in which Western culture constructs a circuit of the real that loses all outside references and becomes entirely self-contained. Major themes are the society of the spectacle, the insignificance, the noise and the general conformity on contemporary culture. In his recent works Twilight (2008-9) and Unwilling Spectator (2009-10), Irijalba plays out the gap between relative time and space and the subjective experienced reality.
