Krüger & Pardeller
The objects of Krüger & Pardeller are perceived as constructive sculptures, architectural fragments or design objects. Due to tangible experience and deliberate ambiguity, viewers are encouraged to discover their own classifications and define the criteria for such distinctions consciously. Forms of presentation are questioned and the abstract, modular form is adopted as an interactive tool. Kruger & Pardeller are also curators and editors of Twilight Zone: Art Hits Design, and Undisciplined: The Phenomenon of Space in Art, Architecture and Design, Vienna/New York, 2008/2009.

Simone Bergantini
Simone Bergantini was born in Italy. He graduated in History of Contemporary Art in Rome, then spent five years in Milan working in photography with an emphasis on fashion and advertising. Last year, Bergantini relocated to Turin for the art project The Black Boxes, an enterprise that he will continue working on while in New York City. Acknowledging the internal logic and integrity of each artistic endeavor, Bergantini states that he is fully aware that his photography will, once again, take him elsewhere.

Alexandra Navratil
Alexandra Navratil´s work examines historical and political concepts of perception and their correlations with systems of representations in cinema, architecture and politics. Her works in various media such as photography, collage and video, are deliberate constructions, which attempt to undermine the authority of the image by questioning the means and mechanisms of its production and the codes of its representation. These underlying structures are made visible within the works. Alexandra Navratil (Zürich, Switzerland, 1978) graduated with an MFA from Goldsmiths College in London in 2007. In 2009 she won the Swiss Art Award and the Prix Mobiliere Young Art and has been artist-in-residence at the Irish Museum of Modern Art in Dublin (IMMA). She has recently exhibited her work at Formcontent, London; Lothringer13/Laden, Munich; MUSAC, León and Galeria Angels, Barcelona among others.
