  • titre provisoire is a collaboration of Cathleen Schuster & Marcel Dickhage, they live and work in Berlin. Their works engage with the contemporary environment, evolve in dialogues and could be termed as critical shaping. They are working from a conceptual approach in timebased media, with archives and text/image related.
  • Born 1978. Living and working in Berlin. Whether shown in a park or a gallery, Thomann’s works are almost always placed within the margins of a given space. “Most the pieces I do are positioned in the corners or entrances and exits of a room,” she explains. “I hardly ever use the center of the area I’m working in.”
  • Born 1976. Living and working in London. She is an American writer, editor and critic. She lectures at the Centre for Cultural Studies at Goldsmiths, University of London in the MA program Culture Industry, and teaches Art Theory in the MA Art Praxis at the Dutch Art Institute in Arnhem. Her research mainly concerns the relationship between art, value and labour. She further explores this through works on debt, social reproduction and artistic entrepreneurialism.
