Hedya Klein was born in Tel Aviv, Israel in 1974; she currently works in the United States and Austria. She received her BFA with a focus in printmaking from Massachusetts College of Art and her MFA from Columbia University. She works in various media such as drawing, photography, installation, printmaking and video. One constant of her work has been the collecting of simple everyday objects, such as plastic bags and packaging, and using them as the source for her imagery. These objects are taken out of context and heightened, thus creating worlds for the viewer's imagination. A second constant is her exploration of light, especially in its manifestation in transparency and translucency.
Hedya Klein has shown her work in such venues as: Laboratorio Dell'Imperfetto, Gambettola, Italy / Black and White Gallery, New York, U.S.A / OTOK Gallery, Dubrovnik, Croatia / Ig Bildende Kunst, Vienna, Austria / Kunsthochschule Kassel, Germany / Columbia University, New York, U.S.A / Harlem Flophouse, New York, U.S.A / Hotel Pupik, Schrattenberg, Austria / TransArt Festival, Lamparna Art Center, Labin, Croatia/ Arad Museum, Arad, Israel / Givatayim Theatre, Tel Aviv, Israel.
Nate Page was Born in Wisconsin in 1976. He lives in New York City. He will receive his MFA from CalArts in 2008 and has received a BFA from the Milwaukee Institute of Art and Design in 2000. He has also studied at the Warsaw Academy of Art in Warsaw, (AICAD) New York Studio Program in New York City, Hotel Pupik in Schrattenberg Austria, and the Summer Residency at The Cooper Union in New York City. From 2001-2004, Nate co-directed an experimental artist collaborative and exhibition space in Milwaukee called the Rust Spot. His work has been shown at Lothringer Dreizehn Space for Contemporary Art in Munich, Hotel Pupik in Schrattenberg Austria, Warsaw Academy of the Arts, Warsaw, The Cooper Union in NYC, Art Chicago via Hotcakes Gallery, John Michael Kohler Center for the Arts in Sheboygan, No Name Exhibitions @ The Soap Factory, Minneapolis, and at the Jen Bekman Gallery in NYC.
This spring he had a solo show at St. Cloud State University in Minnesota. In his work he modify forms of commercial recreation and leisure in order to expose expectations, shift the implied rules and generate new meanings of the objects and activities. He find cultural ideals to be symbolically embedded in common commercial objects and in the intellectual patterns found in cultural activities. By altering the expected course of consumption he seeks to question the institutions that control production and their role in the formation of ideologies, individuality and the illusion of unlimited choice. His work reflects a gendered perspective that is autobiographical and an act of mimicking the strategies of male oriented institutions of power. The work takes the form of sculptures and site-specific interventions.
Elisa Del Prete was born in 1978 in Bologna (Italy) where she lives. She studied Art History at the University of Bologna specializing in Iconology (2002) with a thesis on the Warburg Institute's history of the Fifties and she gave a lecture at the University La Sapienza in Rome (March - 2006) at the recent congress on the relationship between Aby Warburg and Italy. She has worked for the organisation of the exhibitions at the Fondazione Mazzotta in Milan (2003), at the Barbara Behan Contemporary Art Gallery in London (2004), at Culturalia in Bologna (2005-2006). She is working as a independent contemporary art curator and writes for several Italian art magazines. Currently she is developing a research on the new orientations of the sculpture and on experiments of sound art to occupy space.
