Alix Eynaudi
dances, works and writes between craft and chaos in a (most of the time) joyful mess. She doesn’t work alone; any event, research, or invitation is an alibi to spend time with accomplices, a mesh of friendships scintillating under skins, a stirring of full-of-wonder support. She specialises in (deep) choreographic hanging-out sessions.

Eva Seiler
studied scenography and sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna and the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in Antwerp. In her sculptures and spatial settings, she questions anthropocentrism and speculates on how the co-existence of human and non-human animals, nature and technology could be articulated in the future. She embraces hybrid modes of relationship in her practice, using both organic materials and industrially produced fabrics for her objects. For
TOGETHER THE PARTS, she has largely worked with and re-used elements that were previously part of other constellations. In such a way, she creates and activates material connections for the gathering that can then be transformed into new contexts.

Hans Schabus has been showing his work nationally and internationally since 1992.

Myriam Lefkowitz
is a performance artist based in Paris whose practice is centred on questions of attention, sensation and perception through a range of immersive devices that require a direct relationship between spectators and artists. Recent works include
La Bibliothèque (2018), commissioned by ‘If I Can’t Dance, I Don’t Want To Be Part Of Your Revolution’, Amsterdam; a film collaboration with Simon Ripoll-Hurier around the practice of ‘remote viewing’; and
La Piscine (Swimming Pool, 2017–ongoing), a collaborative project that brings together practices of attention born from the research of eight artists, infiltrating and sharing public spaces. Lefkowitz regularly presents her work internationally, among others, at the 55th Venice Biennale (Lithuanian and Cypriot Pavilions), MOT (Tokyo), De Appel (Amsterdam), Le Nouveau Festival (Centre Pompidou), Survival Kit (Riga), Kadist Foundation (Paris), Bergen Assembly, Kaaitheater (Brussels) and Garage Museum of Contemporary Art (Moscow).

Nil Yalter
(b. 1938) was never formally trained as an artist. She creates videos, installations and photography-based work grounded in her feminist politics, her respect for labourers, and her experience as a Turkish immigrant. Based in Paris since 1965, she has participated in the French counterculture and revolutionary political movements of the late 1960s, immersing herself in debates around gender, migrant workers from Turkey, and other issues of the time. Her work is indebted to both documentary and conceptual art and is an important example of early video art and feminist performance art. Her seminal work
Exile is a Hard Job was recently presented at the 12th Berlin Biennale. Her sculptures, videos, and installations are in the permanent collections of the Tate Modern, the Istanbul Modern, the Centre Pompidou and the Fonds National d’art Contemporain, among others.

Philipp Gehmacher’s
artistic works use bodies and language as different forms of expression and engage with built and institutional spaces as if they were objects and sculptures.

The Slowest Urgency (an environment) was shown at mumok Wien as part of the 2022 edition of the Impulstanz festival. He created the lecture performance series
