Álvaro Urbano
(1983, Madrid, Spain) lives and works in Berlin. He studied both at the Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid and Universität der Künste, Berlin. Urbano’s practice embraces a variety of media, from performance to spatial installations that unfold throughout an experimental process. Using architecture, fiction, theater, and heterotopia as points of departure, his often site-specific installations consider the space and its local inhabitants as possible actors or co-authors of a narration.

Salazar Rosales blends her ancestral heritage with regional and personal histories to create evocative sculptural works, using various processes to preserve, fossilize, or reproduce objects in ways that heighten their emotional impact.

(1983, Jesi, Italy) lives and works in London. He graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art, London and the Academy of Fine Arts of Brera, Milan.
