Carmen Argote (b. 1981, Guadalajara, Mexico; lives and works in Los Angeles) is a multidisciplinary artist whose work often points to the body, class, and economic structures in relation to architecture and personal history.

Recent solo exhibitions have been held at Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego (2022); Primary, Nottingham (2021); Clockshop, Los Angeles (2020); New Museum, New York (2019); and PAOS GDL, Guadalajara (2019).

Alberta Whittle (b. 1980, Bridgetown, Barbados; lives and works in Glasgow) works across several mediums, including drawing, digital collage, film and video installation, sculpture, performance, and writing. Whittle’s practice prioritizes questions of self-care and compassion, while considering the historic legacies and contemporary expressions of anti-Blackness, colonialism, and migration. She often utilizes archival materials and found footage in her work, which is frequently produced in collaboration with her accomplices-a network of artists, choreographers, and performers. Whittle received her MFA from Glasgow School of Art in 2011 and is currently a PhD candidate at the University of Edinburgh. Most recently, she represented Scotland at the 59th Venice Biennale and has exhibited in a number of solo and group shows, including those held at National Galleries of Scotland, Edinburgh (2023); The Holburne Museum, Bath (2023); Hessel Museum of Art, Bard College, Annandale-On-Hudson, New York (2022); Gallery of Modern Art, Glasgow (2022); Kunsthall Trondheim (2021); Somerset House, London (2021); Tate Britain, London (2021); Dundee Contemporary Arts (2019); RAW Material, Dakar (2018); and Apartheid Museum, Johannesburg (2017), among others. Whittle is the recipient of a Paul Hamlyn Foundation Award (2022), the Turner Bursary (2020), the Frieze Artist Award (2020), a Henry Moore Foundation Artist Award (2020), as well as the Margaret Tait Award (2018/2019).
Trương Công Tùng (b. 1986, Đắk Lắk province; lives in Ho Chi Minh City) grew up in Đắk Lắk province among various ethnic minorities in the Central Highlands, Vietnam. He graduated from Ho Chi Minh Fine Arts University in 2010, majoring in lacquer painting. With research interests in science, cosmology, philosophy, and the environment, he works with a range of media, including video, installation, painting, and found objects, which reflect personal contemplations on the cultural and geopolitical shifts of modernization, as embodied in the morphing mythology of a land. He is also a member of Art Labor (founded in 2012), a collective working between visual art and social/life sciences to produce alternative nonformal knowledge via artistic and cultural activities in various public contexts and locales. Trương’s has exhibited extensively in Vietnam and abroad, both as a solo artist and as part of Art Labor.
