Priscilla Dobler Dzul, Tacoma, USA
As an interdisciplinary storyteller with multi-cultural immigrant and indigenous roots, my work addresses socio political discussions of race, gender, sexuality, class, and spirituality. Through engaging with history and deploying various methods of production, including generational weaving knowledge and embroidery, I make interactive installations that bring light to exploitation of craft artisans and culture. These artisans are cultural repositories of our traditions and knowledge. My Maya indigenous community plays a critical role in society, yet our culture, labor, technology, and knowledge go unacknowledged or thought of as past civilizations.
Till Langschied, Basel
My work is generally research based and focuses on the human condition in an age shaped by technology and network structures. Writing and reflecting upon the means of signification within language is an important part of my process. The final pieces can range from sound art to painting, from film to poetry, from little gifs to room filling installations. I would mainly describe myself as a sculptor, since I tend to think in matters of layers, shapes and materials. Within my work I ask myself how our psyche can handle the oversaturated moment of a constantly expanding “now”.
Elvia Teotski, between Marseille, Francia and Mexico
Trained as an agro-ecologist and a graduate of the Toulon School of Art, Elvia Teotski is a multi-disciplinary artist-researcher who investigates the transformation of living worlds. She places her attention on the edge of human activity, focusing on fragile and vulnerable states and experimenting with malleable forms. Through sculpture, installation, and video, and with regard to the materiality of her different fields of research, she seeks a way of accounting for unstable states by envisaging the production process as an autonomous organism living in interrelationship with the exhibition spaces, their climatic factors, their occupants and their public, in a practice known as situated.
