Read MoreAndrea Galiazzo (b. 1983, Italy) lives and works in Oslo, Norway. His practice interweaves conceptual and narrative expressions with biographical elements, everyday trivialities, and contradictions. His work deliberately breaks from traditional heroic artist narratives, instead focusing on revealing the artist's presence and agency through carefully selected anecdotes and linguistic transpositions that serve as poetic interruptions.
He studied at IUAV University in Venice, HISK Higher Institute of Fine Arts in Ghent, and received his MA in Art and Public Space from Oslo National Academy of the Arts (KHiO). His multidisciplinary approach reflects an intentional resistance to specialization, choosing instead to explore the intersection of art and daily life through various media and methods.
Solo exhibitions include presentations at Trondhjem Kunstforening and the upcoming exhibition at KRAFT, Bergen (2025). His work has been shown in a duo exhibition with Marthe Ramm Fortun at Huset for Kunst & Design, Holstebro, and in group exhibitions at venues including Interkulturelt Museum, Oslo; Femtensesse, Oslo; The Autumn Exhibition at Kunstnernes Hus, Oslo; The Drawing Triennial 2019; S.M.A.K., Ghent; and Kristiansand Kunsthall. In 2020, Galiazzo was awarded The Norwegian Association of Art and Crafts' Student Prize.

Jonathan Hielkema (b. 1994) is a multidisciplinary artist from the Netherlands, based in The Hague. Working with film, publications, and installations, he explores the contradictions of "touchy" subjects like privilege, common sense, and the status quo—often by implicating himself directly.

In 2020, amidst global uncertainty, he finished the BKB Academy political fellowship, followed by an MFA at the Sandberg Institute's F for Fact program. Alongside his independent work, he co-founded the art collective and production house Touchy Studios.
Over the past two years, he has also tutored at Design Academy Eindhoven (MA Information Design) and KABK (IST program). His work has been shown at venues including Les Rencontres d'Arles, Rozenstraat, Foam, Swab Art Fair, and Nest, and is currently supported by the Mondriaan Fund and the Creative Industries Fund.

Nouf Aljowaysir is a Saudi, New York based new media artist exploring the underlying logic of technological innovations through a personal and intimate lens. Her recent work examines artificial intelligence and our evolving relationship with algorithms. Grounded in research and experimentation, her practice navigates intimate questions with AI tools to challenge their conventional utility and uncover their capitalist motivations. She highlights how artificial intelligence, built through a lens of Western reductionism, causes erasure and an algorithmic flattening of our world and stories through data generalization and biased, limited training sets.
Nouf has exhibited projects in galleries and festivals globally, including Centre Pompidou, New Museum, Museo Tamayo, M+ Museum, CPH:DOX, Tribeca Film Festival, PAF Festival and others. Her latest film Ana Min Wein? (Where Am I From?) premiered at IDFA and was officially released with The New York Times Op-Docs series.

He holds a BFA from the Oslo National Academy of Fine Art (2020) and was the recipient of the FKDS studio grant at Kunstnernes Hus in Oslo (2020–21).
