Gabriella Csoszó
Gabriella Csoszó’s work explores the historical traces of the cold war, including the documentation of locations that have been lost or have changed meaning and the photographic exposition of objects and public spaces that do not hold the same value in the present. For Csoszó, there exist unanswered questions left by the heritage of the cold war period – an intellectual and material heritage that is waiting to be re-evaluated. Csoszó notes that while many questions have been brought up about the history of East and Central Europe, the process of reevaluating and reconsidering this history has not yet been completed; in some cases, it has not even begun.
Gabriella Csoszó lives and works in Budapest. Much of her research has focused on the history of Radio Free Europe. She has examined the periodical pause in its program and its restart in the recent past, analyzing the role of radio in democracy, as well as gradations in the communication of freedom and propaganda. Csoszó is currently working on a documentary photography project with curator Lívia Páldi from the Georg Lukács Archive in Budapest. Csoszó is focusing on the archive’s history, as it once was an internationally known research center, but has recently become a “non-space.”

Ursula Mayer
Ursula Mayer works predominantly in film but her practice also encompasses sculpture and photography. In her most recent body of work, she dismantles the elements of cinematic narrative; numerous flashbacks and other challenges to the cinematic norm of temporal linearity punctuate her films, calling into question how conventional imagery is constructed.
Ursula Mayer studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna and completed her MA in 2005 at Goldsmiths College in London, where she has been based since. Her films have been presented at film festivals including Locarno, Oberhausen and Rotterdam. Recent solo exhibitions include Kunstverein, Hamburg; ICA, London; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Frame, Frieze Art Fair, London; Lentos Art Museum, Linz; and Centraal Museum, Utrecht. Her works were recently screened in Centre Pompidou, Paris; Musée d’art contemporain de Montréal; Bonnier Kunsthalle, Stockholm; PS1, New York; Kunsthalle Basel; New Museum, New York; 2nd Athens Biennial; 4th Tirana International Art Biennial. Later this year she will exhibit her work in Short Stories in the SculptureCenter in New York.

Kakyoung Lee
Kakyoung Lee’s moving images are focused on the repetitive nature of personal daily life. The monotonous daily ritual is deconstructed and reconstructed in a fresh configuration in which nothing is the same and all things are in continuous flux. Lee combines hundreds of hand drawn images and prints to construct a moving image that reflects the sequence of activities in ordinary life and alludes to her search for her identity in the different geographic and cultural milieus through which she has passed in the travels between her two home countries, South Korea and the United States.
Kakyoung Lee (born 1975) works with moving images, prints, drawings, and installations. She received a BFA from Hong‐Ik University, Seoul, and a MFA from Purchase College, NY. Lee has exhibited widely in Korea and the United States including the Drawing Center; the Lower East Side Print Shop; the Queens Museum; the Museum of Modern Art, New York; and the Seoul Arts Center. Lee has participated in residencies at the Marie Walsh Sharpe Space Program, Brooklyn; Yaddo, Saratoga Springs; the MacDowell Colony, Peterborough, NH; the Lower East Side Printshop, New York; and the Jamaica Center for Arts & Learning, New York. Lee is a recipient of awards from the Pollock Krasner Foundation Grant (2010), the Korea Arts Foundation of America Award for Visual Arts (2010), and the AHL Foundation Award in New York (2009). Lee’s works are in the public collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and Library of Congress, Washington D.C., among others.
