Beatrice Alvestad Lopez,
is a visual artist based between Stockholm and Oslo. Her artistic practice intertwines the themes of narrative, fiction, and materiality. Expressed through mediums of sculpture, installation, performance and new media. She works in site-specific contexts in order to create a post-human dialogue between bodies and nature. Through these processes, her work materializes fictional narratives. Alvestad Lopez has exhibited in numerous art institutions such as Bomuldsfabrikken Kunsthall, Röhsska Museet, Konsthallen i Luleå, Collecteurs, House of Foundation, Steneby Konsthall and Västerbotten Museum among others.
Maria Dybbroe,
is a very active improviser, composer, saxophonist, and clarinetist living in Oslo and Copenhagen, who has released 9 albums in her own name, and contributed to more than 20 albums of others. She is the leading force and composer of the double-trio Caktus which gave her the nomination as ‘Composer of the Year’ at the Danish Critic’s Prize ‘Steppeulven’ in 2020, as well as a nomination for ‘Album of the year’ at Danish Music Awards Jazz.
As a composer she writes for both her own ensembles and external commissions, which has led to many different musical and cross-aesthetic collaborations varying from duos to bigbands, where she works with both more traditional notation as well as graphic notation and instructions. Maria is a very curious and dedicated artist who is fascinated by melodies as well as more abstract sounds, and as a saxophone player she is known for her deep presence, listening and very distinct sound.
Jesús Herrera Martínez
is a Spanish artist (Petrer, Alicante, 1976), trained at the Faculty of Fine Arts in Valencia and the Accademia di Venezia, Italy. He has been living in Copenhagen since 2016.
His work revolves around painting projects, reflecting on classical genres (portrait, landscape, still life,...), painters, and techniques while exploring painting's potential as a language to transcribe the world and reveal ways of seeing. In this context, he is deeply interested in how painting can be integrated with new technologies, such as artificial intelligence, in the creative process. The evolving ways we communicate visually, perceive, and perceive ourselves open a new space for exploring the pictorial language.
