SOPHIE CALLE (born 9 October 1953) is a French writer, photographer, installation artist, and conceptual artist. Calle's work is distinguished by its use of arbitrary sets of constraints, and evokes the French literary movement of the 1960s known as Oulipo. Her work frequently depicts human vulnerability, and examines identity and intimacy. She is recognized for her detective-like ability to follow strangers and investigate their private lives.

JULIEN GARDAIR develops a proteiform practice varying from cut out, drawings and paintings to public art and immersive site specific video installations. He builds contradictory spaces where a diversity of cultures and histories meet to stimulate new interpretations. While his Savonnerie carpet is currently on display at the Elysee Palace in Paris, in Brooklyn will soon be unveiled an ensemble of stainless steel sculptures as part of the MTA Arts & Design program. In January, he launched Surprise, a monthly edition cutout series available by subscription and he is currently working on a new series of paintings.

GARY GISSLER is an American artist working with language and text. Gissler’s work is an exploration of language. Large panels, as well as works on paper, investigate the consequences of pace, the implication of process and the presence of the hand. Despite apparently simple

35 rules of execution, these intimate and complex works belie a meditative and deeply considered analysis of the nature of how we find meaning in the world. In addition to his ongoing studio practice, Gissler is in private practice as a psychoanalyst. He finds his work as an analyst informs him as an artist, and vice versa - “the extensive daily dialogue with patients over the nuances of meaning, the nature of being and how we perceive and interpret our world, is fundamentally the same dialogue that occurs in the studio.” Employing such classic texts such as “the Interpretation of Dreams”, “Moby Dick”, “Through the Looking Glass” and “Finnegan’s Wake”, as well as fairy tales, these narratives are harvested for their content and are fully exploited for their mythic status. However, acknowledging the reductivity of minimalism, this content is methodically reduced to it’s to meaninglessness, wherein “nothing” is it’s everything.

KEN GRIFFEN, New York (b. 1988) Grew up in Auckland, New Zealand. In 2006 he was awarded a University Scholarship for Visual Arts. He went on to graduate with excellence from AUT (Auckland University of Technology) in 2009. Since his graduation, Griffen has done two artist-in-residency programs in Berlin and LA, and has held several solo exhibitions. Griffen’s work is rooted in observations of the human condition and employs heavy, inconsistent line work depict people and feelings. The result is a form of abstract portraiture that depicts the broad spectrum of society, from our collective foibles and angst to our unadulterated beauty and allure. Griffen’s oeuvre comments on the challenges we face both personally and as a collective, with this work for the ‘Therapists Office’ he employs drawing to conceptualize what a lack talking looks like in a society where it is not accepted.

MATT LIFSON Lifson’s paintings engage the shifting nature of pictures and the stories we choose to tell through them. Drawing from his collection of personal and found photographs, his paintings warily thin the boundaries between the tangible banal world and its preternatural reflection. Existing in a liminal space, they evoke the anxiety and tranquility of a pause between critical moments. A native of Long Island, NY, he lives and works in Los Angeles.

KYLE UTTER (born 1988, Grosse Pointe, MI) Received BFA from Pratt Institute in 2011. Current MFA candidate at CUNY Hunter College. “I think a lot about history: Socio-political histories, my personal history, the history of painting and the history of the way images have functioned. The edges of the canvas are frayed and punctured. Residues of the past remain on the periphery of my view of the picturesque. Painting assists me in contemplating the complexity of experience and perception and provides a site for therapeutic play-- playing with painting languages, and notions of taste.”
