Far from limiting herself to her own art, which mixes performance, collage, sculpture and video, she alternately assumes the points of view of curator, writer
or editor. The foundation of her work involves analysing and updating the visibility strategies at work in popular cultural phenomena such as fashion, art
and architecture, challenging through discourse the social role and even the function of art today. She has exhibited in numerous galleries and museums,
with solo exhibitions including: NEWBUILD , Verein für Kunst und Kultur Rosa Luxemburg Platz, Berlin; Expo 2014 , with Manfred Pernice, Brandenbur-
gischer Kunstverein, Potsdam; Hybrid Naples 2013 , Fondazione Morra Greco, Naples; No Go – The Exorcist Revisited/Brick Security , Kunsthaus Erfurt; Public
Fabric 2009 , with Rainer Kamlah, BM Suma Contemporary Art Center, Istanbul; Wall Wear/Nation Building , Hubert Bächler Gallery, Zurich; To Die For (with
Nikolaus Utermöhlen), Berlin.

María José Arjona, a Colombian performance artist well-known throughout Latin America, was born in Bogotá in 1973. She now lives and works in New
York and Miami. Her practice involves long durational performance characterized by near-monastic rigor, and designed as experiential studies in what
she considers the biggest and most critical element in performance: time. Her tests of her own physical and psychological endurance confront the viewer,
who is invited to acknowledge his or her choice between an active and passive response.
Arjona was one of the performers chosen by Marina Abramovic for The Artist Is Present, her retrospective exhibition at MoMA in New York in 2010. As
part of the preliminary work towards this exhibition, Abramovic and Arjona jointly presented the workshop Cleaning the House. In 2009, she was an
artist-in-residence at the Robert Wilson‘s Watermill Arts Center, and has staged performances at major museums and venues in South America, the US
and Europe before and since.

Jo Baer was a key figure among the celebrated protagonists of Minimalist painting in New York in the 1960s and first half of the `70s. What has long been
regarded as a radical transition from the earlier minimalist painting to the fluid and dreamlike pictorial mode that she famously came to term „radical
figuration“, is [recently being] now perceived as a continuum rather than a paradigm shift. In the last decades Jo Baer has dramatically expanded the
conceptual framework of her earliest minimalist paintings – not so much replacing one „ism“ with another, as reconciling and binding together her myriad
and divergent concerns (ranging from the science of color perception to the workings of myth and collective memory.)

Fiona Banner’s work centers on the problems and possibilities of language, both written and metaphorical. Her work encompasses text, sculpture,
drawing and installation. She became known for her early written transcriptions of Hollywood war films such as Top Gun and Apocalypse Now. From these
‘wordscapes’ to her use of found and transformed military aircraft, Banner juxtaposes the brutal and the sensual, performing a complete cycle of intimacy,
attraction and alienation. Publishing, in the broadest sense, is at the heart of her practice. In 1997 she started working under the title of The Vanity Press.
She has published books, objects and performances – often deploying a playful attitude and bringing pseudo grandeur to the act of publishing.Galerie Barbara Thumm

Anna Barriball’s work hinges on minimal interactions with objects and often steps between the parallel languages of drawing and sculpture. Much of her
practice explores and depicts the accretion of time – from the length of time it takes for a candle to burn down to the repetitious activity of taking graphite
rubbings from objects that bare the traces of their use or function. In her hands a map of the world is transformed into a strange expanse of shimmering
substance, or the bounce of a rubber ball on a piece of paper creates the effect of a cosmic explosion. Her interventions produce objects that combine a
minimalistic rigour and the seemingly endless endeavour to make sense of the world of objects by empirical study.Galerie Barbara Thumm

Bigert & Bergström is an artist duo living and working in Stockholm. The duo met while at the art academy in Stockholm in 1986 and have collaborated ever since.
Through their career B & B have produced and created art ranging from large-scale installations to public works, sculptures and film projects. Often with a con-
ceptual edge, the core of their work is placed right in the junction between humanity, nature and technology. With energetic curiosity their art investigate scientific
and social topics discussed in contemporary society.Galerie Barbara Thumm

Fernando Bryce is one of the most influential contemporary Peruvian artists. His epic and large-scale series of drawings create historical panoramas that
depict geo-political themes, ideologies and utopias from the 20th century until today.
His extensive historical and pictorial research results in series of ink drawings based on old newspaper cuttings, postcards, posters and other propaganda.
The ideologically loaded terminology and imagery are the central focus of this work. The differences between these re-productions and the original docu-
ments reveal how we continuously rewrite history.
In recent years Fernando Bryce has not only analysed the print media, but also looked more and more towards the film industry and the early beginnings
of the medialisation of propaganda.Galerie Barbara Thumm

With her conceptualist pieces Teresa Burga is a pioneer of media art, technology-based art and installation art in Peru. In the 1960s, Burga was a member
of the group Arte Nuevo. The group is widely credited with the introduction of the new avant-garde tendencies in the Peruvian context, such as Pop art, Op
art and happenings. The recent new reassessment of Burga’s work is realized in the context of activities pursued by a broad network of Latin American art
theorists and artists, who are presently embarking upon a rereading of the conceptualisms of the South (Southern Conceptualisms Network).Galerie Barbara Thumm

Jota Castro is a Brussels-based Franco-Peruvian artist, curator and one of the most interesting and active artist today to propagate a political activism within
his practice. Conjuring up trivial humor, politically incorrect sarcasm and a wide range of references, Castro‘s sculptures, installations and performances
point up certain mechanisms at work in society, whose imbalances and weaknesses are skillfully highlighted by the artist.Galerie Barbara Thumm

Conceptual artist Meg Cranston creates sculptures and installations with an air of whimsy that often belies the symbolism and deeper implications of the
ideas she explores. Her works frequently seem lighthearted—for The Complete Works of Jane Austen (1991), she filled a large weather balloon with all the air
necessary to read Austen’s entire oeuvre out loud—while other pieces carry more serious references. Magical Death (2007), a display of piñatas fashioned to
look like Cranston herself, fused a comical conceit with an implied portrayal of the artist as martyr—to be bashed with sticks as the piñatas would be. Other
installation pieces evoke similarly personal themes: for Keep Same Over (1989) she displayed all of her personal belongings in a gallery space, while for One
of Each (1990) she exhibited 150 doll figures, catalogued in an inscrutable checklist.Galerie Barbara Thumm

Martin Dammann is well known for his watercolors, drawings, photographies and video works. He lives and works in Berlin. The relationship of painting
to photography is a fundamental theme in Martin Dammann‘s works. He draws on a vast collection of private photo albums. Memory images and their

Valérie Favres paintings open up fresh narratives and conceptual perspectives, moving between figuration and abstraction. Her works are dominated by
a fictional world made up of contrasts, contradictions, resistance and restlessness. Valérie Favre paints scenes developed over the course of several years
in large series and work cycles. She works in an openly experimental manner, using a repertory informed by art history. Her demands of the medium are
extensive; she is always engaged in a radical interrogation both painting and artistic work processes.You can also read
