Kasper Feyrer was born in l蓹k虛史蓹艐蓹n (Lekwungen) Territory, and now lives and works in the unceded lands of the s蓹lilw蓹ta涩 (Tsleil-Waututh), S岣祑x瘫w煤7mesh (Squamish), and x史m蓹胃k史蓹y虛蓹m (Musqueam). They root their practice in an embodied engagement with celluloid filmmaking and sculpture, with emphasis on the body鈥檚 relationship to these media. Feyrer graduated with a Meistersch眉lerin from the St盲delschule in Frankfurt, Germany in 2010, and received a Bachelor of Media Arts, Emily Carr Institute of Art + Design in 2004. They have held solo exhibitions at Dazibao, Montreal (2019); Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver (2018); POTTS, Los Angeles (2017); Western Front, Vancouver (2014); Catriona Jeffries, Vancouver (2012); and Artspeak, Vancouver (2010). Their work has been included in group exhibitions at the Vancouver Art Gallery (2017, 2016); the Art Gallery of Alberta, Edmonton (2013); and Presentation House Gallery, North Vancouver (2012). In collaboration with artist Tamara Henderson, Feyrer has presented exhibitions at Bonniers Konsthall, Stockholm (2016); Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery, Vancouver (2016); Institute of Contemporary Art Philadelphia (2015); and Walter Phillips Gallery, Banff (2013).
Jake Kimble is a multidisciplinary Chipewyan (D毛ne S懦艂谋n茅) artist from Treaty 8 Territory who currently lives and works on the stolen territory of xwm蓹胃kw蓹y虛蓹m (Musqueam), Sk瘫wx瘫wu虂7mesh U虂xwumixw (Squamish), and s蓹l虛ilw虛蓹ta蕯涩 (Tsleil-Waututh) Nations. Most recently he attained a BFA in Photography from Emily Carr University of Art + Design while also holding a Degree in Acting from Vancouver Film School. Kimble鈥檚 practice mainly revolves around acts of self-care, self-repair, and gender-based ideological refusal. By doing so with a sense of humour, Kimble allows the audience to exhale, unclench, and even chuckle in spaces where laughter is often lost.
Ron Tran is an artist who was born in Saigon, and currently lives and works in Vancouver. His practice incorporates sculpture, photography, video, performance and installation. He is invested in the social and political nature of space which he foregrounds through interruptive strategies and collaborative practices that engage the public and gallery. His work addresses shifting understandings of public and private space, and questions ideas of individual ownership. Tran studied at Emily Carr University and has participated in group and solo exhibitions in North America, Europe, and Asia. Tran participated in the 6th Berlin Biennale (2010). He was selected for the Kunstlerhaus Bethanien residency in Berlin (2014). He was awarded for Mayor鈥檚 Arts Awards (2015). His work has been featured in Avant-Gardes of The 21st Century (2013), published by Phaidon Press. Tran was awarded two-year Research and Creation grants from the Canada Council for the Arts in both 2018-2019 and 2022-2023; their current research involves the production of new lotus silk textile work in Vietnam.
Katayoon Yousefbigloo is an interdisciplinary artist and musician working with degraded media to reverse-engineer cultural narratives and mythologies. Her work often takes shape in media installation and performance, but leaves ephemera of photography, text, and merchandise. She is a founding member of the experimental art collective Liquidation World, and holds an MFA from the School of Contemporary Arts at 丁香园AV.
Charlotte Zhang is an artist living and working on the traditional territories of the Snuneymuxw First Nation and the Tongva peoples. She is interested in reenactments of shared fantasy, social scripts produced by spectacle, the libidinal investments and erotic economies which undergird state-sanctioned violence and other practices of nation-building, the perpetual collapse of invincibility and injury, punishment and celebration; vengeance.
