David Attwood is an artist based in Perth, Australia. He acknowledges the Whadjuk Noongar people as the traditional custodians of the land on which he lives and works.
Attwood’s practice produces sculptural assemblages using contemporary commodities. His work is concerned with the auratic qualities of products and branded materials, especially those associated with work culture and discourses of productivity, entrepreneurialism and maintenance.
Attwood holds a PhD from Curtin University, and in 2019 completed the SOMA Summer Program, Mexico City. He regularly exhibits his work throughout Australia and abroad. His work has been shown recently at Bill’s PC, Fremantle; Cellar Door, Sydney; Low Gallery, Riga; scatalogicalritesofallnations, London; Savage Garden, Melbourne; Lodos Gallery, Mexico City; Station, Sydney; and Biquini Wax EPS, Mexico City.

Emma Papworth is a visual artist based in London. She makes sculptures and installations that look curiously at urban environments we inhabit, drawing influence from elements of twentieth century architecture, modern cityscape and archaeology. Currently working with models and found imagery, she explores the relationship between the human condition and built environments and how this shapes our understanding of the future, at a time when grand narratives are rapidly dissolving. Conscious that architecture will become the relics for future generations, her projects evoke a futuristic archaeological mood through their sensual and tactile materiality and attention to form.
Emma Papworth is currently doing her Masters at Goldsmiths. Her work has been shown in the UK, Germany, Italy and Sweden; recent exhibitions include, ‘Hemispheres’ at Alice Black Gallery, Groelle Gallery, ‘Modern Relics’ at Fold Gallery, One can Play more that One at Norrbyskär Konsthall in Sweden, the Academy of Fine Arts Leipzig, Schimmel Projects in Dresden.
Alongside her visual practice, Papworth has curated series of group exhibitions in London, including Modern Relics at Fold Gallery, Ancient Vessels at APT and most recently ‘Dawn is Now Once Again’ at Greenfield Project Space.

Giuseppe Pinto is a curator, philosopher, researcher, and grower of pre-human plants based in Torre Santa Susanna and Polignano a Mare (Puglia).
In 2014, he co-founded Like A Little Disaster (L.A.L.D.) and its related project spaces in Polignano a Mare and throughout the Puglia region. Through L.A.L.D.’s trans-post medial/generational/gender/species perspective, he has involved some of the most interesting and subversive artists, researchers, and curators on both the Italian and international scenes.
In 2020, he launched Baitball, a long-term nomadic art fair focused on collaboration, sharing, and becoming with others. Now in its fourth edition, Baitball has seen the participation of over three hundred galleries, project spaces, curatorial collectives, and international institutions.
His practice is innervated by a mesh of risky attachments and liquid, viscous, decentralized, gradual, and intersubjective entities. In his world, every entity can only be defined in relation to others (though it is not the relation itself). He is engaged in the production, implementation, and presentation of provisional projects strongly influenced by the surrounding environment, offering significant responses or possible alternatives to the economic, political, and social conditions experienced daily in the “territories” where he operates and interacts.
He promotes artistic collaborations, explorations, and experiments in various cultural contexts and public viewing spaces. His mission is to provide an alternative—a different context in which artists can experiment, extending the relations and interconnections they generate outside; from the hyper-individual/local to the universality.

Nina Wiesnagrotzki has a stellium in the 12th house and is currently based in Berlin, Germany.
Stelios Karamanolis is an artist based in Berlin
Stelios works communicate certainties and spiritual instincts for a transcendent world to unfold. At the center of his painting is the ambivalent, the other, the human and the non-human; entities that unconsciously merge beneath the surface of daily life. He is interested in presenting a narrative that is not direct or obvious, but rather fragmentary. It is a literary narrative that has no beginning and no end, but describes moments in a world. His works aim to explore the constant symbolic reference to anthropological situations and to convey an uninterrupted flow from distant antiquity to contemporary life – visual objects and gestures refer to the archive of history.

Tamara Dinka, Serbia. MA in Languages, Sotheby’s Certificate in Contemporary Art.
For me, dealing with art is like brushing your teeth – you somehow want to avoid it, but you anyway do it. (In the end, you keep on brushing five times a day!)
My favourite hobby is writing about art. Contemporary art is strong and it can really move you or completely disappoint you. The most important is the message that goes through. So far, I wrote about Vienna Contemporary Art, Hong Kong Art Basel, Shanghai Art021.
I participated in many group exhibitions, such as Athen’s Art Fair, Sarieva Bulgaria, Belvedere 21er Haus, Parallel Vienna.
I always worked between three mediums: visual, audio and written. I made music for many fashion editorials and commercials (Vogue, L’Officiel, IRK Mag).
Currently I am based in Shanghai where I’m lecturing about Art History and Contemporary Art.
