As a performer, she has participated in the works of Cathy Weis, Yvonne Meier, DD Dorvillier, Michikazu Matsune, Manuel Pelmus, Frédéric Gies, Philipp Gehmacher, and Anne Juren, among others.

studierte Szenografie und Bildhauerei an der Akademie der bildenden Künste Wien und an der Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerpen. In ihren Skulpturen und räumlichen Settings befragt sie den Anthropozentrismus und imaginiert, wie die Koexistenz von menschlichen und nichtmenschlichen Tieren, Natur und Technologie in Zukunft vollzogen wird. Entsprechend den hybriden Beziehungsmodi verwendet sie für ihre Objekte sowohl organische Materialien als auch industriell hergestellte Stoffe. Für TOGETHER THE PARTS hat sie großteils mit Elementen gearbeitet, die davor Bestandteil anderer Konstellationen waren. So entstehen Materialverbindungen, die für das Festival eingegangen werden und danach in neue Kontexte transformieren können.

is a performance artist based in Paris whose practice is centred on questions of attention, sensation and perception through a range of immersive devices that require a direct relationship between spectators and artists.

Lefkowitz regularly presents her work internationally, among others, at the 55th Venice Biennale (Lithuanian and Cypriot Pavilions), MOT (Tokyo), De Appel (Amsterdam), Le Nouveau Festival (Centre Pompidou), Survival Kit (Riga), Kadist Foundation (Paris), Bergen Assembly, Kaaitheater (Brussels) and Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow).

is a self-produced London-based mixed media artist, performer, writer and researcher working with dancing as a philosophical undertaking, a political project with ethical psycho-spiritual ramifications for being-in-the-world; dancing as intimate technology. In tune with this, their methodology is intuitive and many-headed. Their work is choreographic and uses (de)composition as a state of cycling and crumbling towards the stark expressive utterances of the minutiae of sensing. SERAFINE1369 is busy with propositions and practices – of dancing, spatial arrangement, sonics and modes of receiving – that counter the tendency towards bodily compression, inflammation and alienation invited by life in the hostile architectures of the metropolis. This approach acknowledges the cosmic oneness of all things as manifested through the ecologies of relation and the fact that everything is made of the same stuff whilst being intensely curious about the magic and mysteries of life processes of distinction, variation, cycles, decomposition; movement as it transforms and sustains. basictension.com
