Iva Gueorguieva
Iva Gueorguieva is known for her complex, abstract, large scale paintings that feature a frenetic mix of overlapping collage, line, shape, and color. Influenced by the materialism of Art Povera, the physicality of Gutai, the playfulness of Cubist collage, and the political satire of George Grosz, she is a painter of energy, bringing together an emotional intensity and physical passion.
Iva Gueorguieva (b. 1974, Bulgaria) received an MFA from the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia in 2000. Based in Los Angeles, Gueorguieva had a two-person show with New York-based painter, Dona Nelson at Sophia Contemporary, London in 2018. Recent solo exhibitions include Frederic Snitzer, Miami, FL; Ameringer/McEnery/Yohe, New York, NY; ACME, Los Angeles, CA; Samson Projects, Boston, MA; Galerie Stefan Roepke, Cologne, Germany ; Stichting outLINE, Amsterdam, Netherlands (2008); and Pomona Museum of Art, Claremont, CA (2007).
Her work is held in public collections such as the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, Los Angeles, CA; Minneapolis Institute of Art, Minneapolis, MN; Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles, CA; Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego, CA; University Art Museum, California State University, Long Beach, CA; Art, Design and Architecture Museum at UC Santa Barbara, Santa Barbara, CA; and Pomona College Museum of Art, Claremont, CA.
Iva Gueorguieva was a finalist for the Howard Foundation Grant in 2019 and was nominated for the Anonymous is a Woman grant in 2017. She is the recipient of the Orange County Contemporary Art Collectors Fellowship for 2012, the California Community Foundation mid-career fellowship for 2010, and the Pollock-Krasner Grant for 2006.

Margret Wibmer
With her early studio photography Margret Wibmer reflects on the position of women. Photos of a later period, staged in specific world locations, focus on performativity and the human body as a connective medium. After spending a large part of the 1980s in New York, a period that significantly formed her life and artistic practice, she moved to Amsterdam where she is based since.
Her work is included in public and private collections in Europe, the US and Japan and has been performed and exhibited internationally among others at Tokyo Garden, Japan / Bradwolff Projects, Amsterdam / Palais de Tokyo, Paris / RMIT Design Hub, Melbourne / Oude Kerk, Amsterdam / Ishikawa Nishida Kitaro Museum of Philosophy, Japan / Mode Biennale Arnhem / Galerie Lumen Travo, Amsterdam / KAI 10 – Arthena Foundation, Düsseldorf / Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato / Kunstpavillon Innsbruck / Fashion Moda Gallery, South Bronx.

Passepartout Duo
Passepartout Duo is formed by pianist Nicoletta Favari (IT) and percussionist Christopher Salvito (US/IT). Drawing from a carefully selected palette of electro-acoustic textures and shapeshifting rhythms, Passepartout Duo’s work investigates the way in which we listen to and connect with sound. Reassessing the tools they use to create their music, the group is continually developing a specialized and evolving ecosystem of handmade musical instruments that have ranged from analog electronic circuits and conventional percussion, to room-size textile installations and found objects.
Passepartout Duo has been the recipient of dozens of artist residency opportunities around the world including The Watermill Center (US), the Swatch Art Peace Hotel (CN), the Rogers Art Loft (US), and the Embassy of Foreign Artists (CH). Their multidisciplinary approach has also led them to exhibit both their own creations and their collaborations with fellow artists at venues such as Casino Luxembourg (LU), the Nakanojo Biennale (JP), Aarhus Artspace (DK), and Fanrong Museum (CN).
