• Josu Bilbao
  Parte del habla y la oralidad persistente en algunas lenguas en extinción, para ampliarse y despegar hacia la escultura como práctica material y sensible que produce espacialidad física y sensorial. La observación de ambos estadios, como preámbulos de formalización y acuerdo, como potencias pre-lingüísticas de formas por venir, nutre un hacer que es continuo y que en la exposición se dispone a modo de actos o ecosistemas efímeros, sostenidos por medio del cuidado y de la escucha atenta a los procesos inherentes. Ha expuesto en y colaborado con Bulegoa z/b (Bilbao), Halfhouse (Barcelona), etHALL (Barcelona), CarrerasMugica (Bilbao), Centro Párraga (Murcia), Centro Botín (Santander), CentroCentro (Madrid), Museo de Bellas Artes (Bilbao), entre otras.

• Ivan Cichetti
  Ivan Cicchetti’s interests move at the inter- section of education, design, community and sound. He grew up in Rimini, Italy, where he engaged with electronic music since he was a child. He studied economics at the University of Bologna. In 2007 he created “be kind,” a project that encompasses eyewear design and experimental electronic music events by young producers.
  From 2011 to 2014 he studied photography at Blank Paper School in Madrid. Together with three artists he started Espacio 7B, a flat/workshop and concert venue. In 2013 he co-created Blind, an experimental music and audiovisual event. In 2014 he co-founded the collective Espositivo, a space that includes educational programs, exhibitions, projects and residencies. Through the promotion of contemporary creation, Espositivo has become a propitious place from which to generate an ongoing dialogue between artists, professionals and the general public. In 2015 it launched the Espositivo Academy, a project born with the idea of revising the methodology of the classical Spanish academy, trying to eliminate its rigidity. In 2018 the formative offer was expanded and gave rise to Espositivo Escuela, aimed at theoretical programs on contemporary production, image creation, curatorship, criticism and analysis of thought. He has taught at Goldsmith London’s MFA, La Casa Encendida, Cra Matadero, Loop festival Barcelona, Pivô Sao Paulo, etc. He has carried out curatorial projects in Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Mexico, Buenos Aires, etc. For personal reasons, due to an illness, he recently began to develop new formats of education that link art, therapy and possible differences (physical and/or mental). Through static and movement installations he tries to create spaces of collective experience linking nature, music and socio-political structures.

• Arash Fayez
  Arash Fayez’s practice investigates condi- tions of displacement and notions such as statelessness, limbo, and in-betweenness. Spanning writing, performance, and video, his projects explore situations where the mind is in limbo and the body is in between; in other words, the mental and physical states resulting from being between two locations, two cultures, or two identities.

• Mónica Mays

• Daniela Ortiz
  Daniela Ortiz conceives visual stories in which concepts of nationality, race, social class and gender are explored to expose structures of colonial, patriarchal and capitalist power. Since 2020, with the series The Rebellion of the Roots she inverts the narratives that remain as base for institutional racism and imperialism. Between ex-voto and naive art, her paintings blend ironic antiracist narratives with historical sketches depicting tropical plants that, “sequestered” in botanical gardens, confront the authorities responsible for this crime, ensuring justice. In this way, the artist instils a spirit of resistance and calls for support of existing anticolonial struggles. She has recently participated in exhibitions such as And we will harvest the knowledge of our resistance, Fondazione Sandretto, Turin, (2022); Réclamer la Terre, Palais de Tokyo, (2022); Nurtured by the defeat of the colonisers our sedes will raise, Kolnischer Kunstverein Cologne (2021); Not Fully Human, Not Human at All, Kunsthalle Hamburg & KADIST art foundation, Paris (2020-21); Her work can also be seen at the Museo Reina Sofía, Van Abbemuseum in Eindhoven, MACBA, Sirius Art Centre, Irlanda, MUAC, Mexico, among others. She works with the gallery angels barcelona and La Veronica. The first anthological review of her career took place in 2019, Esta tierra jamás será fértil por haber parido colonos, in La Virreina Centre de la Imatge, Barcelona.

• Silbatriz Pons
  Silbatriz Pons develops her artistic practice with whistling as her main language as she traverses the thin border between the real and the invented, the person and the character, exploring the scenic possibilities of her sound. In her decision to express herself through whistling there is an explicit renunciation of the word and the forms of thought that are articu- lated with spoken language, in order to let flow an imagination born of another impulse. Silbatriz Pons is the alter ego of Marisa Pons, a graduate in Hispanic Philology and Fine Arts. Her search has taken shape in pieces of different format and duration, such as ‘Episode 08’, winner of Act Festival 2014, or ‘Cosa Negra’, co-produced with La Casa Encendida in 2017. She has three world titles for her participation in the Masters of Musical Whistling held in California in 2019.

• Teresa Solar
  Teresa Solar’s imaginary is based on the morphology of speech and, by extension, of thought. Concepts such as resistance, insulation, tightness and immunity are deve- loped through a multidisciplinary production focused on sculpture and drawing and based on the creation of multi-layered narratives. Throat, pore, hatch, tongue, pipe, her pieces are populated with connotations of connectivity and flow. Hers is a practice full of words and full of organs that create words: a talkative work that doubts itself but nevertheless wants to talk. In recent years, Solar has developed large-format installations in which families of sister sculptures vary in shape and size, creating complex ecosystems of thought. The reflection about the great stories of progress in contem- porary society are opposed to micro-narratives that have to do with her own body: sports injuries, stuttering and daily transits through her city are a fundamental part of the expressive sphere of the creator. She is currently participa- ting at the 59th International Art Exhibition of La Biennale di Venezia, The Milk of Dreams, curated by Cecilia Alemani. In 2021 she took part in the Liverpool Biennial curated by Manuela Moscoso with a public art installation at Exchange Flags titled ‘Osteoclast’. She also recently took part in KölnSkulptur #9 curated by Chus Martínez in Cologne (2017-2019) and in 2018 participated in the expedition ‘The Current’ organised by TBA21-Academy, and she conducted the workshop ‘White Whale, Palace of a Thousand Courtyards’, at Tabakalera San Sebastián. She has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions around Europe and in Mexico.
