Marco Fusinato
Marco Fusinato’s practice deals with the rhetoric of radical politics (its ambitions and failures), noise as music and the frameworks of conceptual art. Through wide ranging forms of work in gallery contexts and performances, Fusinato foregrounds moments of disruption and impact in which lie the possibility of a shift in perception or change in the course of events.

Law Man Lok
Law Man’s work deals with how a sign is used within a particular political environment. In recent years, places like Hong Kong have not encourages the flexibility of interpretation and the creativity of sign. To manipulate political signs and study the ways to politicize a sign has become the most important aspect of his work; with little difference between bringing fantasy into reality and reality into fantasy.
Law Man received his BA in 2001 from the Chinese University of Hong Kong and his MFA in 2007 from Goldsmiths College, Univeristy of London. He is a founding member of Political Art Group and Wooferten, two organizations that take an intensely critical approach to art and art-making. Law Man was the anchor of RTHK TV’s programme Cultural Magazine. His work emphasizes the synergy of imagination and criticality.

Wojtek Ulrich
Wojtek Ulrich experiments with conceptual film and video installations in which objects refer to context rather than aesthetics. Aesthetics serve only as a step toward the creation of a new discourse as a way of developing autonomous concepts that reach beyond art. What occurs is a shift in perception of context through the analysis of cultural, political and economic relationships, modifying our expectations and opinions of art.
Wojtek Ulrich received his MFA from the Wroclaw Academy of Fine Arts. His work has been shown in solo exhibitions at Other Gallery, Bejing and White Box, New York. He has participated in group exhibitions at White Box Contemporary, San Diego; White Box, New York; Other Gallery, Shanghai, and Other Gallery, Bejing. He lives and works in New York.
