Fito Conesa studied Fine Arts at the University of Barcelona, the city where he lives and works. With a multifaceted work that encompasses installation, video and sound exploration, some of his works are conceived as an exhibition of the artist himself and his geographical context of origin; others incorporate different elements of cultural history and the contemporary world; and others dissect the everyday.

Since 2008, he has exhibited in spaces such as the Aparador del Museu Abelló in Mollet del Vallès (2008), CaixaForum in Tarragona (2009), Centro Cultural Español in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic (2014), La Naval in Cartagena (2015) and Espai 13 at the Fundació Joan Miró in Barcelona (2018). His work can be found in collections such as the Fundació Banc Sabadell, the University of Granada, the City Council of Valls and MACBA in Barcelona.

Marlie Mul is an artist whose artwork manifests somewhere in between sculpture, painting, fashion, distribution, writing, experiments in branding, the social, and the virtual. She teaches in and co-coordinates the MFA WorkMaster at HEAD (Haute école d’art et de design) in Geneva, Switzerland.

With Harry Burke, she co-edits ground, a counter-institutional fanzine that sets out to look beyond institutions in their current form as dominant frameworks for artistic production, and embraces grassroots political and aesthetic perspectives. In 2018 she published the book CANCELLED, which revolves around her public cancellation of a solo exhibition at GoMa, an art institution in Scotland, in 2017.
