Ragnheidur Gestsdottir, Rehan Miskci, and Nic Courdy

Ragnheiður Gestsdóttir is an Icelandic artist whose work is heavily influenced by her background in visual anthropology.

The eye is an unreliable source. Our perception is shaped by language and the structures that frame our realities; social, economic, political, temporal, spatial, material.

She was inspired in Beirut, a place so loaded with History, and her research focused on materials, signs and symbols that represent the origins of our culture.

In her project she played with the idea of the "unwritten" by cutting a hole in the shape of a column into an already existing marble table top.

The hole represents what is left out,
the powerless, the unseen.

Rehan Miskci presented 'Foto Yeraz', an extension of her quest for new meanings in the tradition of studio photography and its connection to her Armenian identity.

'Foto Yeraz' is a fictitious and vacant photo studio where figures are absent, but spacial elements, such as large scale backdrops and props, still continue to exist.

In fact, they convert from serving as objects and start acting as subjects instead.

Nic Courdy uses the public domain and digital media to explore ideas of compilation aesthetics and silent collaboration.

Nic presents his audience with highly imaginative works that create a hybrid of past and present art forms.

In doing so, he produces a new contemporary decorative narrative that echoes the current social constructions within the digital landscape.
