Shakti Gomez is a performance and a visual artist, originally from Spain, who has  worked at the fringe of different disciplines, especially live art, visual arts and dance. She explores human anxiety, mortality and the relation between the self and the other; the inter-experience. These ideas inform her work which often has an autobiographical element or follows the biographies of others that she encounters in life. Her work is also linked to everyday life and banal objects that, through her performances, are extended beyond their usual meanings,  transforming them into singular objects that can represent a person’s inner state or experience.

Holly Keasey is an artist working in and from Dundee. She is currently working on collaborative design proposals for the V+A Dundee restaurant and Plot 9 of Dundee’s Waterfront Redevelopment; conducting artistic research into the political agency of architecture at KKH in Stockholm; and producing new work for an exhibition at Verdent Works through the support of the Dundee Visual Artist Award. Previously, Holly has delivered socially engaged projects for various arts organisations including lead-artist for the Clyde River Foundation educational project, Trout in Transition, writer-in-residence for Doggerland and completed a two year position leading the curatorial committee of Generator Projects.

Holly Keasey‘s site-responsive projects employ a framework that makes use of water as a tool to criss-cross abstract theory and ecological concerns. In an extension to this approach, she is interested in how collaborative methods of critical practice can influence a cultural change towards alternative social formations. Her residency at Tottenham Hale International Studios focused on considerations of Hale as both a village undergoing regeneration, paralleled with Hammarby Sjöstad in Stockholm, and a word with a meaning indicating to be pulled forward or progressed.

UK, Composition, Writing, Performance

Dickson, Duncombe and Kampman are Glasgow based artists whose work explores voice as object, the instability of meaning, and using sound to unsettle the balance between perception and reality. Labyrinthine, their debut work together which premieres at La Monnaie, National Opera of Belgium in October 2015, aims to deconstruct the apparatus of opera, particularly how women sound – in words and music – through the juxtaposition of classical structures, fractured narratives and plastic vocals. Their collaborative approach to text and sound allows them to challenge traditional modes of production within opera, particularly the hierarchy of librettist – composer – performer.

Jessica Fox’s love of stories began at five years old when reality betrayed her and dressing as Superman did not in fact grant her super powers.

Most recently, Fox directed Shakespeare: The Puppet Show at the Victoria Albert Museum, is adapting her first novel, Three Things You Need to Know About Rockets for screen and is co-creating Never After, a fairy tale series featuring Gillian Anderson. Fox was a resident storyteller at NASA and feeds her inner nerd media consulting for science organisations.

UK, Painting

A recent graduate from the Glasgow School of Art, and now regularly exhibiting, Judith Hagen works from the East End-based Crownpoint Studios. Dealing largely in realms of painting and writing, the work occupies emotional and metaphysical spaces and landscapes and human histories, searching through ideas of social narratives, solitude and personal mythologies, and the sometimes sad and absurd contrasts between reality, humanity and worldly beauty. The themes Hagen deals with stem from a wide range of sources; literature, philosophical writings, ideas of reality, time and space, and also world myths, histories and religion.

Canada, Visual Art, Sculpture

Marie-France Brière has, for several years, oriented her research towards sculpture that explores multiple avenues within its shifting practice, and that raises, amongst others, questions around relationships of surface, permeability, and opacity. In addition, and more recently, she has devoted her attention to public art, seeking through the blending of genres and other approaches, to suggest a reading of the object that is both complex and poetic. Under the auspices of the Politique d’intégration des arts à l’architecture du Québec, she has created numerous works that activate and engage material experience in interior as well as exterior spaces.
