The treatment of the body as the most direct media of expression and exteriorization of our own histories and relations has been the central theme of the work of Erika Harrsch. Presenting intimate aspects of invitation and seduction, which suddenly turn us into unprepared voyeurs, evidencing a close relation between nature-psychology and sublimity. To Harrsch, the body is the place where all needs are registered, a place of desires, affections, emotions, all of the drama
and grandeur of human life interpreted through this perspective.
Born in Mexico City, Harrsch has lived and worked in Mexico, Italy, Germany and New York. Strengthened by her professional practice as a painter, she has expanded her interests to acquire a variety of disciplines associated with the production of process-oriented art. Her image-making tools also include videography, photography and a kind of scenario building based on found elements in artificial and natural environments, which find expression in the form of videoinstallations and photographic works.
Her work has been the subject of solo exhibitions, group shows, festivals and Art biennials in Mexico, the United States, Brazil, Germany, Sweden, Turkey, Spain and England. Her work is also included in the collections of Museums in Mexico and the United States.

New York based artist Katherine Mangiardi’s paintings of lace, which of handiwork possessed a beauty of process and attention to detail that is becoming vacant in an age of machine-generated reproductions, are unbelievably haunting, like the delicate, filmy fabric of a ghost, or like the painfully decaying lace of an antique dress. Recently, She has started to create installations in historical homes in order to link the historic objects which fascinate her with the people and places from which they originated.

Miso has been working as a street artist for 5 years, combining fine art approaches to wheatpasted and painted works on the streets. Her works serve as documentation of things that would otherwise be forgotten, both in subject matter and in that her work is itself temporary, as it becomes weather-beaten and decayed on the streets. Miso has exhibited her drawn works worldwide, on the streets and in galleries, and currently lives in Melbourne, where she works with the Mitten Fortress artist collective.

Daniel Danger is an illustrator and printmaker working out of New England. He is best known for his screen-printed art prints and posters.
Daniel Danger’s work is simply stunning. His painterly use of print making as a medium elevates the reproductive process as an art form to the umteenth degree by exploiting every bit of its qualities to the its full extent. But it’s the mood and character of the work that is completely engulfing. The calculated use of color or sometimes purposeful lack thereof, grabs you and places you right into the work, right into the lonely street at twilight where shadows encroach and no one around for miles to hear your muffled cry…

Yang Jiechang was born in 1956 in Canton China; currently lives and works in Paris and Heidelberg.

Gerard Rosés (born 1944, in Barcelona) is a complete artist who goes through painting and sculpting but embraces the audiovisual possibilities to reproduce all of the details of urban realities. In fact, he is one of the city type and intends to present its beauty along with the natural essence. His pieces’ colors are warm and full of harmony, just like Expressionism ones –a big influence for him- and Fauve used to evoke.
