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.

Nuria Montiel Perez Grovas
Nuria Montiel’s work employs social practices through participatory strategies for collective creation in public spaces. Graphic print is used as a way of representing and documenting process but also as a mechanism of exchange and collective expression. Monitel’s current project Mobile Printing Press looks at diverse protest and social manifestations in Mexico, printing phrases that represent the resistance voice of citizens as a way to understand the socio-political reality of present-day Mexico.
Nuria Montiel (born 1982 Mexico) Studied visual arts at Escuela Nacional de Artes Plásticas-UNAM. She has been awarded with the fellowship Jovenes Creadores (FONCA) and and the prize Permio Nacional de Arte Jóven Aguascalientes XXVII.
