Artist Biographies

Charlotte Posenenske (d. 1985, Frankfurt am Main, DE) is one of the most important German minimalist artists in the world. Posenenske departed from the idea that art should be created by and for individuals; it should be a social act with as significant an impact as possible. Concepts such as changeability, participation and collaboration are central in her oeuvre. They originated from her conviction that art could influence social interaction or could draw attention to social inequality. Since her death in 1985, recognition of Posenenske's work has been brought to a broader public through major solo exhibitions, including Frankfurt Museum of Modern Art, Documenta II, Kassel; Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Haus Konstruktiv, Zürich; Artists Space, New York; DIA Foundation, New York, and Kroller-Muller Museum, Netherlands curated by Eloise Sweetman.

Katie West (b. 1988, Western Australia) is a Yindjibarndi woman who combines naturally dyed textiles, installation, and social practice to formulate ways to practice custodianship in still colonised and ecologically compromised contexts. West's first significant commission Decolonist, for Next Wave Festival 2016, utilised meditation as a means to decolonise the self. In 2017, she completed a Master of Contemporary Art at the Victorian College of the Arts, University of Melbourne, where she was awarded the Dominik Mersch Gallery Award and the Falls Creek Resort Indigenous Award. West also collaborates with artist Fayen d'Evie through their project Museum Incognita, which revisits neglected, concealed or obscured histories, activates embodied readings, and archives ephemeral artworks and practices.

Malin Arnell (b. 1970, Sweden) is an interdisciplinary artist, researcher, educator and frequent collaborator with other artists, activists and writers. Through her practice, she explores critical issues for participating in (social) environments by emphasising matter, doing, and actions, focusing on the experiences around/in/through/of the body (my body, their body, our body), through the incorporation of affectivity between relationalities, territories, and power. Her collaboration and works have been exhibited internationally including Moderna Museet, Index - The Swedish Contemporary Art Foundation ICA, Institute of Contemporary Art, Swiss Institute Contemporary Art, EFA Project Space, White Columns, The Kitchen, Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art at Brooklyn Museum, CCS BardGalleries / Hessel Museum of Art, & Hammer Museum among others.

Miyeon Lee (b. 1980, South Korea) uses painting, design and food as her mediums to reassess uncertainty, displacement, personal and societal views on the notion of 'home'. She graduated with a master in painting from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2011. Lee was an artist-in-residence in Van Eyck Academie in Maastricht. She has shown with PLATO, Ostrava, CZ; SeMA, Seoul, KR; Ilmin Museum, Seoul, KR; Brakke Grond, Amsterdam NL; Jan van Eyck Academie, Maastricht, NL; KyumJae JungSun Museum, Seoul, KR; C-Mine, Genk, BE; Looiersgracht 60, Amsterdam, NL; Gallery Sobab, YangPyeong, KR.
