Anindita Dutta
‘[The]…most significant trait in Anindita Dutta’s art practice: its nuanced intensified presence that is propelled by a carefully calibrated set of mutually exclusive factors or conditions.’ ( Dominique Nahas) Anindita Dutta is well known for her unique use of clay as visual vocabulary in her performances. Dutta, recipient of UNESCO bursary, Pollock-Krasner grant and residency grant of Museum of Asian Art in Japan, has had many solo exhibitions in New York City and India including at Sakshi Gallery.

Sang-Hyun Lee
‘Lee positions himself as an exile, witness or an actor in his video and photography work. In doing so he creates a cultural meshing, a mapping of digital, conceptual zones and geographies thereby transposing political and sexual identities that combine to unravel his construction. He borrows from ancient scholarly literature and mythological stories-substituting himself as exiled or displaced from the society in a photographic space or video.’ (Yu Yeon Kim, catalogue for Mediations Biennale)

Thomas Poulsen (FOS)
FOS’ practice investigates how physical space achieves significance through social interaction and how the aesthetics of social space challenge and transform social constructs. Referring to his approach as Social Design, FOS suggests solutions through the investigation of the physicality of social relations. ‘I see the world as constituted of layers – only a small part visible to us – that exists as a reaction of what lies underneath. What we learn and perceive is in our behavior, what isn’t learned is a part of our reactions. Our social construct is a machine in this framework.’
