Jau-Lan Guo
Jau-lan Guo is a curator and professor. Her work is based on her study of new media art and globalization in relation to contemporary art. Her recent curatorial projects are situated within cultural activism, taking the view that curating can also interfere in political reality.
Guo is currently an Adjunct Professor in the Graduate Program in Fine Arts Department of National University of Arts. Her dissertation “Robert Rauschenberg’s art in 1960s: Toward Postmodern” explored the intersections of Rauschenberg’s art and postmodern theories and criticism of the 1980s through queer studies, postmodern, and cross-disciplinary methods. While trained as an art historian in American art since 1960, her studies have been extended to contemporary art. Her curatorial projects include Polyphonic Mosaic: CO6 Avant-Grande Documenta , Exercise of 0 and 1, Anti-type: Floating over the Stereotype, Nostalgia for Future, and Somnambulism: Phantasmagoric Fugue.

Veronika Zajačiková
Veronika Zajačiková’s curatorial practice refers to the possibility of an international dialogue through art. Her research is based in virtual reality and the true world, diverting people from an online reception of art to one related to our human nature. Zajačiková believes that without this expansion of experience people are degraded and impoverished in their humanity.
Zajačiková (born 1981 in Prague, Czech Republic) received a BA degree at Faculty of Arts – Theory and History of Art, Philosophical faculty, Palacký University Olomouc, Czech Republic. From September 2010 Zajačiková is an MA student in Curatorial Studies, Faculty of Art and Design, Jan Evangelista Purkyně University, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. She is currently preparing an exhibition at Emil Filla Gallery, Ústí nad Labem, Czech Republic. In 2010 she curated two solo shows of students from Academy of Fine Arts in Prague: Po druhé (For the Second Time), Klubovna 2.patro, Prague, CZ.
