Caroline Koebel

CAROLINE KOEBEL'S training in film theory and history sets the basis first for the production of experimental films and then an interdisciplinary practice spanning a range of media including digital video, film, installation, performance and writing. Koebel holds a BA in Film Studies from the University of California, Berkeley and an MFA in Visual Arts from the University of California, San Diego. Histories of conceptual art, feminism (i.e., feminist film theory), and sociopolitical critique converge in her commitment to seeking, if not always locating, alternate modes of resistance to dominant ideologies, such as commodity culture, gender conformism, and war ecology.

Her recent solo exhibitions/screenings have been held at the Usher Gallery, Lincoln, England; the Centre for Contemporary Art at Ujazdowski Castle, Warsaw, Poland; and the Robert Beck Memorial Cinema at The Collective: Unconscious, New York, NY. She was represented at the 2004 Liverpool Biennial in the Elusive Quality media program and at Cork 2005: European Capital of Culture in the Vinyl Project. I Want to Have Your Baby (2003 - ongoing), Koebel's collective cross-media action repopulating the world with humane beings (http://www.buffalo.edu/~cgkoebel/projects/b_con.html), has been staged at such venues as El Delito del Cuerpo/The Crime of the Body, Havana, Cuba; 8th Gay and Lesbian Cultural & Film Festival, Budapest; New York University Lecture Series, NYC; free cooperation conference: Networks, Art, & Collaboration, Buffalo, NY; National Graduate Seminar, Photography Institute, Columbia University, NYC; and OMSK Roam London. She has written on art and culture for such publications as Wide Angle, Art Papers and the Brooklyn Rail. Schablone Berlin, her book (co-authored with Kyle Schlesinger) about stencil graffiti in Berlin, Germany, is newly available from Chax Press. Koebel is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Media Study at the University at Buffalo (State University of New York), where she teaches courses such as Art Practicing the Body, Banned and Censored Cinema, Women Directors, and Site-Specific Installation.

Virginie Laganière

Born in Rimouski, Quebec, Virginie Laganière lives and works in Montreal. She holds a bachelor's degree from the visual and media arts program at UQAM. Her practice focuses mainly on experimental video. She has also been pursuing collaborative projects, amongst sound performances with Jean-Maxime Dufresne. She has also provided video environments in various concerts of the ambient music group Below the Sea, which have lead her to participate in many experimental events and festivals in Quebec and Canada.

"By extension, urban determinism and control spaces breed their own residues, which, through a form of entropy, eventually react to them: in the same manner these conditions are inseparable from one another. This situation produces breaches and contradictions, potentially becoming sites of renewed densities, conditions for possible diversions. Recalling elements of psychogeography, what are the components and material arrangements of the urban scene and how do they influence the individual's affective mapping ? " ...from her collaboration with J-M Dufresne.

Katerina Seda

Katerina Seda lives and works in Praha and Lisen-Brno (CZ). She works with installations, drawings, print, photography and video; however, her main interest lies in social interaction and in faciltating interaction through art. Media, such as video, thus function both as means for the creation of situations of interchange as well as documentation of the projects. In her unique ways, she both tries to overcome the artificiality of art while at the same time she uses highly artificial situations (of art) in order to overpass social or cultural barriers. Also, her family plays an important role in her projects, as participants and as subjects.

She studied at the secondary school of applied arts in Brno and at the Academy of Fine Arts in Prague. She received national and international prizes for her work, such as ESSL Award, Start Point 2005 (nom.) and Jindrich Chalupecky Award. And she just has a show at the Czech Center in new York and at gallery Arratia/Beer in Berlin.

Edyta Stepien

Edyta Stepien's passion for photography and video began in her hometown, Krakow, Poland. In 1998, she moved to Chicago where she immersed herself fulltime in the image making arts. Inspired by Chicago's urban arts community, Edyta expanded her work into more encompassing multimedia experiences. Her catalogue of work includes single video work as well as large-scale multi-channel video/sound installations. Her installations work to activate spaces visually and sonically through immersive experiences for viewers that are simultaneously organic and synthetic. She is also interested in the verbal language as a source for sound works and as a medium that is removed from its role as a tool of communication. In 2004 she was awarded the Chairman's Merit Scholarship Award at The School of Art Institute of Chicago where she is finishing her BFA degree.
