Creating an absurd interactive scenario for the audience through these personas is a tactic I use to investigate what people know and how they've come to feel comfortable with their own versions of the truth.

Through the work I long to absorb every body's thoughts, emotions, neuroses, and shame. And with it I give my own away.

My work is an anagoge of particular sources: the pop-narratives of my formative years, the historical and contemporary practice of painting, and the variously scientific, pseudoscientific, and mystical approaches to gathering and generating knowledge about consciousness and the universe.

Empathy, the primary reaction to catastrophic events, coupled with the projected imaginings of a disaster in our own world, makes disastrous events powerful, existential transformations. This exploration of ruins as deconstructions of psychological and physical “permanent” systems is the continuing influence of my work.

Evanoff is a New York-based artist who specializes in hand-drawn animations, paintings, prints, and drawings.

Through my paintings I ask viewers very simple but fundamental questions about the nature of perception and about the various ways we project our desires onto the natural world.

Kellstadt creates a sense of multidimensional disorder...natural yet uncomfortable, the images channel the past and present simultaneously, playing like a warbled field recording.

Bogad works on the intersection between art and activism, and on the role of humor and imagination in organizing mass movements for deep social conflict.

My work actively cultivates a healthy skepticism in state-sponsored histories. I trust the weeds in any vacant lot more than the written legacy of generals and land speculators.

To me the role of the artist is interpreter, go- between, firebrand and ultimately, secret agent of curiosity and possibility.

Film and video artist who focuses on the way information and meaning are constructed through vision and perception.

By addressing contemporary black cultural expression, I interrogate, race, gender, politics and hyper-consumerism, among other ideas... I seek to create works that contribute to, generate and enrich the discourse surrounding visibility, invisibility, code and appropriation.

I am interested in the history of places, and how one can uncover the passage of time by exploring the fragments of human presence. The photographs are a way of mapping human interaction with the natural world.

Our narrative is dependent upon memory but memory isn't always correct... If we remove, re-work or if we isolate an experience, the narrative falls apart.

My work challenges conventional assumptions about color through material investigations and process. I use these resources as a method to understand how color works.

Warren likes to draw and make things.

Deets works with decaffeinated coffee and sad sunday afternoons mostly through the medium of photography and computer art.

The work mashes-up subject matter, materials, and techniques resulting in strange, violent transformations and hybrid objects.  The body, surface, accumulation and touch are central to this investigation.  .

Art making becomes a series of exercises that allow me to practice the things I want to be better at in life. This mostly includes interacting with other people, addressing systems of power, and creating ethical, sustainable ways of relating to the world around me.

Duesing crafts "darkly funny, cynical and profoundly unsettling" (Linda Dubler, High Museum of Art, Atlanta) work that combines a unique visual style with humor and social commentary.

Tonies' landscapes are reflexive to patterns found in the systems of our mental environment. His work responds to excessive information and excessive space.

My work is an exploration of the precarious balance between control and surrender, tension and serenity, and the equilibrium created therein.

I am most moved by injustices committed in my name, by those who represent me, and consequently preventable by my actions. Representation is not a hermetic mimetic pictorial tradition but an agency able to alleviate suffering and promote self-sufficiency.
