Maja Bajević (Sarajevo, 1967), is an artist who takes a critical and witty approach to art in order to pinpoint dualities in human behaviour, in particular those involving power. The power of history is opposed to the power of choice and interpretation; collective memory to collective amnesia, objective accounts to subjective storytelling and imagination – as a construction in progress, fluid and unstable (the presence of scaffolding in her work is not fortuitous), whose shifts and derivations react to contradictory stimuli. Her work is about opening questions rather then giving answers, where every answered question opens a new territory with new brackets that give place to the unforeseen or the yet unspoken, in an never-ending continuum. Bajevic’s work, ranges from video, installation, performance and sound to text, crafts, drawing, printmaking, machinery and photography.

Selected solo exhibitions include: Moderna Galerija, Ljubljana, Slovenia (2025), Centre Culturel Jean Cocteau, Les Lilas, France (2022), Migros Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Zurich (2017), The James Gallery, New York (2012),  DAAD Galerie, Berlin (2012) and Museo Nacional de Arte Reina Sofia, Madrid (2011). Selected group exhibition include: “Bounding Histories. Whispering Tales”, Art Encounters Biennial, Timișoara,  Romania (2025); “We never Sleep”, Schirn Kunsthalle, Frankfurt (2020); “Divided We Stand”, Busan Biennale (2018), Haus der Kunst, Munich (2016); 56th Venice Biennial (2015) “Documenta 12”, Kassel, (2007). In 2017 Bajevic was shortlisted for the Prix Marcel Duchamp.

Cristian Chironi

Cristian Chironi (Nuoro, 1974) lives and works in Bologna and in buildings designed by Le Corbusier around the world. A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna, Chironi is a multidisciplinary artist who adopts different languages in the realisation of his projects, bringing them into dialogue with each other and hybridising the use of performance with that of photography, video and design. He has created site-specific works of a performative and installation nature, always seeking interaction with the context, both in the collective sense and in terms of relationships with people, as well as in the environmental dimension and the surrounding context. His research aims to explore and relate a plurality of concepts: reality and fiction, memory and contemporaneity, figure and image, two-dimensional and three-dimensional, conflict and integration. His works are held in prestigious public and private collections, and he has exhibited his research in solo exhibitions at national and international museums and foundations such as MAUTO – National Automobile Museum, Turin (2024); MAN – Art Museum of the Province of Nuoro (2024, 2015); Magazzino Italian Art, New York (2022); Casa Victoria Ocampo for Bienalsur – Bienal Internacional de Arte Contemporanéo de América del Sur Buenos Aires (2019), 16th Quadriennale d’Arte, Palazzo delle Esposizioni, Rome (2016) and many others. Thanks to his collaboration with Fondation Le Corbusier, he is working on the project “My house is a Le Corbusier” (2015 – ongoing), which involves him living in houses designed by the great Swiss architect through a series of performances and exhibitions spread out over time. 

Paola Di Bello

Paola Di Bello (Napoli, 1961), lives and works in Milan. Artist, photographer and video maker, she trained in the studio of her father Bruno, one of the italian artist who in the 70s started to make a radical use of photography. She is Lecturer in Photography since 2006 and currently she is Head of the Department of New Technology at the Brera Academy of Fine Arts. Her research is committed to exploring the socio-political problems of the contemporary city. She shows the potential for change in reality through a practice that brings together the global dimension and local life. By entering into situations of everyday life, often characterised by profound human unease, her work determines a shift in the point of view. Her work is focused on the very act of photographing, understood as the eye’s grasping power in relation to the context. The resulting overturning of vision creates a disorientation that unhinges our preconceptions and views of things. Her artistic research well represents the trajectories that European photography has taken in the last thirty years. Over the years she has carried out photographic campaigns on the margins of urban centres, from the favelas of South America to Roma communities, travelling to Italy, New York, Baghdad and Japan. Recurring subjects are urban transformations, abandoned objects, micro-situations of illegality, re-appropriation of urban spaces, multi-ethnic communities and people on the margins of society. Her work has been exhibited on Daegu Photo Biennial, South Korea 2014; the X Lyon Biennial 2009 and at the 50th Biennale Internazionale d’Arte di Venezia 2003.

Eva L’Hoest

Eva L’Hoest (Liège, 1991) lives and works in Bruxelles. Her work aims to investigate how all types of mental images, especially memories and reminiscence, can re-appear in technological form. She is very interested in exploring memory and its “infinitesimal” reality. Piece by piece, the artist appropriates digital technology to interpret, distort, saturate, or alter the blurred images of memory. She has recently exhibited at the Sydney Biennale, Australia; at the WIELS, Brussels, Belgium; at the Frac Grand Large, Dunkirk, France; at the Riga Contemporary Art Biennale, Latvia; at the Malmö Museum, Sweden; at the Lyon Biennale, curated by the Palais de Tokyo, France; at the Triennale di Okayama Art Summit 2019, curated by Pierre Huyghe, Japan; in 2018, his videos were screened at Les Rencontres Internationales Paris-Berlin, Visite Film Festival, Vidéographie 21 and in the form of live performances at the International Film Festival Rotterdam, Holland. Her films were also screened at the Centre Pompidou Kanal, Bruxelles; Louvre Auditorium in Paris; the Carreaux du Temple in Paris; the Haus der Kulturen der Welt in Berlin; the Muhka and Het Bos in Antwerp.
