_____
Katja Hilevaara is a collaborative artist, researcher and teacher who works in performance, installation and art-writing. Her research is concerned with (mis-) remembering, creative constraint and ideas surrounding maintenance, care and enchantment. She lectures at Goldsmiths, University of London.
Emily Orley is a practitioner-researcher whose work includes performance, installation and art- (or place- or commemorative-) writing. She has been making work on her own and in collaboration for 16 years, locally and internationally, and currently lectures at the University of Roehampton in the Drama, Theatre and Performance Department.
Sophie Mallett is an artist and filmmaker working in London. Her work revolves around landscapes of global capital: from the swelling border towns of ‘Fortress Europe’ to the virtual factories of microwork. Developed out of research and contact with these physical, social and virtual environments, her practice concentrates on how financial, architectural and social worlds are constructed and controlled, and in turn affect our ability to co-exist. Using video, text, installation and sound she pursues a practice at the intersection of affect, politics and value. Through close attention she opens up spaces of discomfort, both within and outside of the gallery, that acknowledge clandestine societal norms, complicity and dysfunctional ethics.
