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.
He studied Photography at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) and pursued academic growth through the MSc Media Technology program at Leiden University. 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.
