Andrea Galiazzo

Andrea Galiazzo (b. 1983, Italy) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. His practice interweaves conceptual and narrative expressions with biographical elements, everyday trivialities, and contradictions. His work deliberately breaks from traditional heroic artist narratives, instead focusing on revealing the artist's presence and agency through carefully selected anecdotes and linguistic transpositions that serve as poetic interruptions.

He studied at IUAV University in Venice, HISK Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent, and received his MA in Art and Public Space from Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). His multidisciplinary approach reflects an intentional resistance to specialization, choosing instead to explore the intersection of art and daily life through various media and methods.

Solo exhibitions include presentations at Trondhjem Kunstforening and the upcoming exhibition at KRAFT, Bergen (2025). His work has been shown in a duo exhibition with Marthe Ramm Fortun at Huset for Kunst & Design, Holstebro, and in group exhibitions at venues including Interkulturelt Museum, Oslo; Femtensesse, Oslo; The Autumn Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo; The Drawing Triennial 2019; S.M.A.K., Ghent; and Kristiansand Kunsthall. In 2020, Galiazzo was awarded The Norwegian Association of Art and Crafts' Student Prize.

Jonathan Hielkema

Jonathan Hielkema (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands, based in The Hague. Working with film, publications, and installations, he explores the contradictions of "touchy" subjects like privilege, common sense, and the status quo—often by implicating himself directly.

He studied Photography at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) and pursued academic growth through the MSc Media Technology program at Leiden University. In 2020, amidst global uncertainty, he finished the BKB Academy political fellowship, followed by an MFA at the Sandberg Institute's F for Fact program. Alongside his independent work, he co-founded the art collective and production house Touchy Studios.

Over the past two years, he has also tutored at Design Academy Eindhoven (MA Information Design) and KABK (IST program). His work has been shown at venues including Les Rencontres d'Arles, Rozenstraat, Foam, Swab Art Fair, and Nest, and is currently supported by the Mondriaan Fund and the Creative Industries Fund.

Adriana Berges

Adriana Berges (b. 1992, Madrid, Spain) focuses her artistic practice on landscapes and technology, with particular attention to colour and form. In parallel to her artistic work, she examines the cultural characteristics of landscapes in both art history and internet archives through her academic work as Research Fellow in the Doctoral Program in Humanities: Language and Culture at Rey Juan Carlos University, Madrid, Spain.

In 2025, she completed her doctoral thesis Digital Paradises: Painting in Art History, Screens and the New Aesthetics of the Virtual Landscape, investigating the "Iconic Turn" in Western images and pictures of landscapes in visual culture.

Solo exhibitions include a presentation at PP33 in OsloMet (2024, Oslo, Norway), "Mirando al Cielo" at Habitación Número 34 (2022, Madrid, Spain), and four solo exhibitions at her representing gallery, Galería de Arte A Ciegas (2018, 2020, 2021, 2023; Madrid, Spain), among others.

Nouf Aljowaysir

Nouf Aljowaysir is a Saudi, New York based new media artist exploring the underlying logic of technological innovations through a personal and intimate lens. Her recent work examines artificial intelligence and our evolving relationship with algorithms. Grounded in research and experimentation, her practice navigates intimate questions with AI tools to challenge their conventional utility and uncover their capitalist motivations. She highlights how artificial intelligence, built through a lens of Western reductionism, causes erasure and an algorithmic flattening of our world and stories through data generalization and biased, limited training sets.

Nouf has exhibited projects in galleries and festivals globally, including Centre Pompidou, New Museum, Museo Tamayo, M+ Museum, CPH:DOX, Tribeca Film Festival, PAF Festival and others. Her latest film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) premiered at IDFA and was officially released with The New York Times Op-Docs series.

Niels Munk Plum

Niels Munk Plum (b. 1992, he/him) is a Danish visual artist currently living and working in Copenhagen. His practice stages the body and language in performance-based explorations of participation and the horizontalisation of art.

He holds a BFA from the Oslo National Academy of Fine Art (2020) and was the recipient of the FKDS studio grant at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo (2020–21).

Iga Śśćk

Iga Śśćk stages anti-linear, iconoclastic collages made of meticulously layered errors and confused erotics. Their work usually takes the form of performances set within intricate installations where props, costumes, and sound constantly mutate in use and fidget with gender expressions. In various states of fuzziness, their practice remains invariably grounded in body movement. Their choreographic approach is driven by a desire to communicate through nonlinearity and incompleteness, believing in the insurgent potential of spasmatic attention within the dancing body.

They are a graduate of the Art Praxis MA program at the Dutch Art Institute. Iga has exhibited and performed at venues including Centrale Fies in Dro, Biquini Wax EPS in Mexico City, WHOISPOLA in Warsaw, New Fears in Berlin, Tanz im August Festival in Berlin, the National Museum in Szczecin, BWA Wrocław Główny, La Châtaigneraie Cwac in Liège, Hotdock in Bratislava, Alpha Nova in Berlin, and Radialsystem in Berlin.

Harold Offeh

Artist Harold Offeh works in various media, including performance, video, photography, social arts practice and pedagogy.
