Graham Caldwell

The Widow Maker, 2009

Michel de Broin

La Maîtresse de la Tour Eiffel, 2009

Superficial, 2004

Born in 1970 in Montreal, Michel de Broin lives and works in Canada and Europe.

Through a collection of objects and actions, his works seek to escape the constraining nature of modern utopian aspirations whilst attempting to reenact them in playful, jesting objects that glorify the referent on the one hand while upstaging it on the other.

Drawing on his doubt in the capacity and value of ideas, his sculptural projects seek to put them to the test by literally confronting them with the necessities of reality in assemblage that often troubles the ideas it purports to speak for.

Mai-Thu Perret

Mai-Thu Perret was born in 1976, she lives in Switzerland and the United States.

Perret will create the latest in a series of installations based on her ongoing project The Crystal Frontier. A fictional account of women starting their own commune in a desert, The Crystal Frontier functions as a scenario Perret uses to investigate activist communities of the past and their utopian credos and designs. Perret uses the histories of radicalism not to relive the moment, but to generate new objects that document what did not happen and did not materialize in the earlier movements. These objects incorporate a range of materials (posters, ceramics, barebones minimalist structures, even an organic rabbit farm) located in dissent aesthetics of historic utopian groups.

Jonathan Monk

Jonathan Monk was born in 1969, Leicester, UK. He lives and works in Berlin.

''Appropriation is something I have used or worked with in my art since starting art school in 1987. At this time (and still now) I realized that being original was almost impossible, so I tried using what was already available as source material for my own work. By doing this I think I also created something original and certainly something very different to what I was representing. I always think that art is about ideas, and surely the idea of an original and a copy of an original are two very different things.'' Jonathan Monk, 2009
