Learn moreGerard & Kelly (Brennan Gerard and Ryan Kelly) have collaborated since 2003 to create project-based installations and performances interrogating the formation of the couple and the critical potential of intimacy. Driven by an inquiry of their own partnership, the duo uses choreography, video, and sculpture to address questions of sexuality, memory and the formation of queer consciousness. Their work has been exhibited internationally at Palais de Tokyo, Paris; Guggenheim Museum, New York; the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles; New Museum, New York; and The Kitchen, New York, among other institutions. Their ongoing performance series Modern Living, in collaboration with L.A. Dance Project, was recently presented by The Glass House, New Canaan, Connecticut, and the MAK Center for Art and Architecture at the Schindler House in West Hollywood, in association with Art Production Fund. Gerard & Kelly have received numerous recognitions for their work, including the New England Foundation for the Arts (2015), Art Matters grant (2014), and the 2014 Juried Award from the New York Dance and Performance Awards, also known as the Bessies.

Learn moregarima thakur is a friend, interdisciplinary artist, designer, and educator who is all over the place. She was raised during the ’80’s and ’90’s in New Delhi, India, a country forever recovering from a colonial hangover—teetering between an aspirational Western identity and a nationalistic one. To help soothe the hangover, she moved to the United States in 2008. Over the last 14 years she has merged installation, video, code, and text to make the bureaucratic structures of immigration visible and critique the alienation they impart. She looks up to Black feminism as a way to crack open the problems of Indian respectability politics and more deeply understand gender, sexuality, and queerness in her practice. She loves to share meals together and wishes you would hit her up for some snax. Her work has received support from organizations like the Ford Family Foundation, the Oregon Arts Commission, Khoj, and the Regional Arts & Culture Council.

Learn moreKole Galbraith is a multi-disciplinary artist who focuses on sound, audio-visual, and found-object installation. Based in Seattle, WA, Kole Galbraith has been active in the underground experimental music community for the past decade performing throughout the US and Europe. Sonically, the sonic studio compositions are informed by early 20th century French musique-concrète, harsh-noise, black metal, free jazz, and contemporary composition. Thematically, the compositions are influenced by interior Salish folklore and contemporary indigenous experience. Galbraith mixes materials found in nature with electronic techniques to uncover both latent sonic capabilities and latent histories. Galbraith has released albums on his own label, Obscure & Terrible, and other labels such as SIGE, Titania Tapes, and Krim Kram. Galbraith has worked with musicians including Lori Goldston, Greg Kelley, Jessika Kenney, Jason Lazer, Steve Moore, Catherine Guesde, Warren Realrider (Pawnee/Crow), Nathan Young (Delaware), Patrick Wurzwallner, Maja Osojnik, morher, and Noel Kennon.
Kole Galbraith is an enrolled member of the Peoria Tribe of Oklahoma and the COUSIN indigenous film collective.
