Jeremy Bailey

Self-styled “Famous New Media Artist” Jeremy Bailey’s inventive and endearingly self-deflating performance practice collides the vulnerabilites and embarrassments of physical embodiment with the tricks of internet marketing and digital imaging’s sleek pictographics. 

His work has featured in an international roster of venues and festivals, including the Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam; Tate Liverpool; Whitechapel Gallery, London; Transmediale, Berlin; Museums Quartier, Vienna; and the New Museum, New York. Via his project The You Museum (2015-ongoing), Bailey’s displays – individually tailored to suit the viewer’s personal tastes – can be accessed globally online: see here.

Iz Öztat

Iz Öztat is an artist based in Istanbul. She is a member of BAÇOY-KOOP (Printing, Duplication and Distribution Cooperative), a group that utilizes the mimeograph technology for collective, independent publishing in Turkey’s current climate of repression. The cooperative conducts archival research into mimeographed printed material and dialogues with the technology’s previous generation of users – investigations that lead to collectively-produced printed matter, actions and installations. She is a collaborator in HTTPpRESS, an online platform that publishes content with free/libre licences or notices. With Fatma Belkıs, she explores the convergence of water and freedom, and she communes with the shade of Zişan (1894 – 1970) who appears to her as a historical figure, a channeled spirit and an alter ego. She has taught at Oberlin College (USA) as a Visiting Professor.

Selected exhibitions include Tamawuj, Sharjah Biennial 13, United Arab Emirates (2017); Land without Land, Heidelberger Kunstverein, Germany (2016); Saltwater: A Theory of Thought Forms, 14th Istanbul Biennial (2015); Conducted in Depth and Projected at Length, Heidelberger Kunstverein, Germany (2014); Rendez-vous 13, Institut d’art Contemporain, Lyon, France (2013); and Here Together Now, Matadero Madrid, Spain (2013).

Kajsa Dahlberg

Kajsa Dahlberg is a visual artist living in Oslo. She received her MFA at the Art Academy in Malmö 1998-2003 and was a studio fellow at the Whitney Program in New York in 2007-08. Dahlberg’s work has been shown in solo exhibitions at the Neuer Berliner Kunstverein, the Museum of Contemporary Art in Roskilde, Parra & Romero in Madrid, and Lunds Konsthall. Her contributions to museums and biennials include works for Moderna Museet Stockholm, Malmö Art Museum, 8 Bienal do Mercosul, Manifesta 8, and GIBCA 2019.

Dahlberg is currently undertaking a PhD at the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm. This practice-based research is investigating film as an apparatus intertwined with nonhuman modes of life - specifically looking at the role of macro-algae in the history of photography. Hence, this research is engaged in thinking of (mechanical) reproduction as something that is not simply mechanical, nor exclusively the product of human decisions, but that is also, in part, the product of the activity of agents other than ourselves. Dahlberg further engages in the work of Danish playwright Ulla Ryum, exploring non-linear modes of storytelling as a way to decenter humanist perceptions of temporality. Here, the (camera)lens, rather than being the threshold between that which is registered and that which is not, becomes a device to engage a reciprocal relationship with the world.

Adam Peacock

Adam Peacock (UK) is a post-disciplinary artist, architect, academic and consultant living in London. Adam’s experimental lens, The Validation Junky, developed on his MA in Design Interactions at the Royal College of Art (2012-14), focuses upon investigating the effects of the internet upon contemporary identity expression and self-perception within photographic communication; straddling fashion academia, experimental architectural methodology, fine art practice, consumer psychology, genetic technology, cybernetic theory, and social anthropology. The most notable project developed under his lens, The Genetics Gym, primarily developed within the 2016 Design Residency at the Fashion Space Gallery at London College of Fashion, was featured in the BBC Radio 1 Stories documentary DNA+ Beauty (2018), and was presented as the opening keynote speech at the 2018 Product Innovation Apparel conference in Milan. The project has been exhibited at the Science Gallery Melbourne and Science Gallery Dublin as part of Perfection (2018-2019). It was awarded the Robert Garland Treseder Fellowship at the University of Melbourne (2018), and published as a chapter in ‘Crafting Anatomies: Archives, Dialogues, Fabrications’ by Bloomsbury (2020).
