Alfredo Rodriguez is born at Madrid in 1976, where is still living and working. Alfredo considers his work as a research about photography and its processes. This results in a work that questions the ways of obtaining the image, emphasizingthe concept of photography as a single object. He tries to provide a physical history to his works by interleaving multiple processes between obtaining an image and the final result as an object. This is related to the idea of an object containing memories moving through time, and it effects in the perception of the image. He is focusing now in developing self-made photographic processes by researching the History of photography from its birth until now. He started in photography at Art School 10 and specialized in the history of photographic processes at ESCRBC in Madrid.

Born on 11 March 1969 in Törökszentmiklós, he attended primary and secondary school there. At the age of 19 he meditated on what he should do in his life. He liked to take books at random, and thought that it might be he who would send him a mess. Like a thunderbolt, his relationship with art was formed. He came across a publication full of statues and felt immediately that this was what he had to do. He moved to Budapest to work in a bronze foundry. A few years later, he passed the entrance exam at the Ecole des Beaux-Arts. There he met Professor István Bencsik who had taught at the Faculty of Art at the University of Pécs. He followed him and finished his studies there. “He filled the statues of my experiences, of my lived feelings, thus, I become empty, giving way to impressions, new impulses.”

his realisations.

Laurent Bosio was trained in Fine Arts in 1981 in the Municipal School of Plastic Arts and the National School of Arts in Nice. From his early exhibitions, his work is part of the symbolic circles arenas (corrida, football, F1) where confronted power and strength of human, animal and mechanical.
His relationship with nature is affirmed through the mythical tree of the Mediterranean basin that is the olive tree and particularly the vision of its roots, then through the mythical tree of Japan, the bonsai.
The telluric forces, the cycle of origins (fertility – fertility), fascinate him.
Thus, the artist creates a world of imaginary creatures and discovery at the heart of these structures, these barks or distortion of a trunk primer. Since then, he continues to explore the dreamlike space where generous creatures reveal the duality of contemporary society : union of man and machine, frenzied mutation of life.
Laurent Bosio or the joy of painting, to handle color, pencil, charcoal, knead the dirt, twisting métal.
Antonio Fiorentino was born in Barletta in the 1987. In the 2013 he was invited to the CSAV Artist Research Laboratory at the Antonio Ratti’s Foundation, visiting professor Matt Mullican.
He has received awards for emerging artist, among which the Talent Prize, Rome (2015) and invited to participate in different exhibitions in Italy and abroad, among which: The Lasting, La Galleria Nazionale, Rome (2016); Ride the Falling Flux, HIAP Gallery Augusta, Helsinki (2014); From&To, Centre of Contemporary Art Villa Arson, Nice (2014) Concrete Ghost, American Academy in Rome (2014); CSAV, Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como (2013); Underneath the Street, the Beach, Fondazione Sandretto Re Rebaudengo, Turin (2012).
Antonio Fiorentino’s research developed in these years under the mark of minimal intervention. The artist would like to bring art back to nature, to find value in the things that already exist, with the minimal effect, limited to isolate them and, in a sense, to frame them.
What interest Antonio Fiorentino are the situations of transformation, those natural processes that create form and visions through changes.
Fiorentino keeps a strong relationship with the history and the mythology of the figure of “alchemist/scientist” trying to use this attitude in the contemporary context.
The result is often of great visual and poetic impact and of evocative power because it leads the viewer to wonder about the origin of the physical world and its transformation processes.
Andreas Senoner was born in 1982 in Bolzano, Italy. He lives and works between Santa Cristina in Val Gardena (BZ) and Florence, Italy.
He attended the Academy of Fine Arts in Florence and the Saint Charles Fine Art Department in Valencia, Spain.
He attends performance and sound poetry classes with artist Bartolomé Ferrando.
In 2006, he was granted a scholarship for Minneapolis College of Art and Design (Minneapolis, USA) where he attended sculpture classes from Kinji Akagawa with whom he delved into his wood carving tecnique. From that moment wood as a material of expression has become a permanent feature in his artistic research.
If carving wood is essential to his mind, the design is also a medium hard to Andreas. Pondering Mankind in general, Andreas tackles themes sometimes abstract, sometimes concrete. Loneliness, the diversion of popular icons or the eyes of others are recurring themes.
Since his return to Italy in 2007, he has been invited to show his work in several important national galleries, in France, United States, Serbia and Switzerland. His work is present in the main contemporary art fairs like Arte Fiera Bologna (Italy), Scope Basel (Switzerland), Art Paris Art Fair (France).
Born in 1988 in Santa Fe in Argentina, Alexis Minkiewicz is a well known artist for contemporary art lovers.
Its production consists of a broad range of drawings, sculptures and installations, characterized as much by their differences than their similarities. It is mainly driven by the exploration of the relationship between the bestiality of bodies, their environment and the ability of the body to adapt to it to survive. He uses modeling as a way to contain these forces, to rebuild these shapes and hang them in the moment.
According to him, in a work, the material is as important as the message, this is why he considers himself as an artist and a craftsman, working the material to control it while seeking his limit.
When developing projects in space in three dimensions, Alexis is studying the idea of a scene, taking figurative references beyond the sculpture : how these organisms use the space ? How the viewer’s body becomes a material that can be moved and touched ? These are the questions that escape from the imagination of Alexis and he transcribe it in his works.

Around fifty works of art exhibited, on 5000 m2, between heaven and earth, in a former shipyard located on the Corniche des Issambres, bathed in light and crossed by the mistral.
Three showrooms to discover, the first reserved for monumental works: Richard Hudson, Arman, Dali, Wim Delvoye, Rotraut, Philippe Perrin etc … A show room, a few steps lower where the highly rated Tomas Saraceno Winner of the Prix Marcel Duchamp Théo Mercier, the poetic Flavie Audi of the bank of the same name, or the ex wife of Yves Klein Nikki of Saint-Phalle, exhibited this year at the Grand Palais. Finally, a significant presence of the Saudi virtual museum BASMOCA, illustrating the international and innovative dimension of this place.
Created in 6 months by 3 enthusiasts with perfectly complementary skills: The banker Paolo, the ultra connected collector Michele and the lawyer at the head of the association that manages the activities and destinations of PTAC: Xavier. A solid trio for a real opening to contemporary art.

Korean designer born in 1985, a graduate of Hongik University and the Royal College of Art in London, who lives and works in London and Seoul. Her “Frozen” project was first presented as part of her MA in 2012, before being developed through several collections and exhibited at design festivals such as Dutch Design Week, Milan Design Week, London Design Festival and Miart in Milan.
In his “Frozen” series, Lee Jung In exploits a new creative process by combining industrial processes with manual manufacture and by combining different materials, notably jesmonite. Jesmonite is aesthetically similar to stone, but composed of plaster and acrylic resin, making it ideal for moulding.
Like origami, each piece of ‘Frozen’ is ingeniously folded into unusual, irregular shapes. Each one is unique.
