Anthony Marcellini, USA - assist: Bryndis Snaebjörnsdottir
Anthony Marcellini is an artist and writer. His practice is based around examining the politics of the creative act. He is especially interested in words, gestures and actions, which expand our understanding of freedom and redefine our human behavior. He received his MFA in Social Practice from California College of the Arts in 2009. In 2008 he was a recipient of Southern Exposure’s Alternative Exposure Grant and the Murphy & Cadogan Fellowship in the Arts. In 2010 he will present a new work as part of the Sparwasser HQ Public Sphere and Rhetoric residency programme. Currently he is teaching and working on several public art projects as part of the Independent Study Fellowship at Valand School of Fine Arts. For more information visit blog.anthonymarcellini.info.

Brindalyn Webster, USA – assist: Esther Shalev-Gerz, Annika Lundgren
 Brindalyn Webster's work is the search for raw theater. The output of each project is slightly different; some create stories, some create photos, some create songs. Whether it is between Webster and the person she interviews, or the audience and the resulting work of art, providing space and attention through listening is an essential part of her work. In the spring of 2009 Webster completed her MFA in Social Practice at California College of the Arts. In the summer of 2009 she was a resident at Skowhegan School of Art, in East Madison, Maine. Her latest project, El Cancionero de Nashira, a collection of original songs based on oral histories and melodies from an eco-village in Colombia, was published by Asociación Mujeres Cabeza de Familia. Her work can be viewed at http://www.brindalyn.com/

Carolina Jonsson, Sverige - assist: Katarina Andersson Winberg

Carolina Jonsson gör installationer med hjälp av video, måleri och teckning. Hon skapar montage som återger sanningar existerande bortom våra logiska tankemönster och naturlagar. Med hjälp av poesi lösgörs berättandet från den konkreta tankens linjära struktur. Skeendet har ett cykliskt mönster där allting återkommer men var gång i en något förändrad form. Därmed tillåts tiden att ständigt löpa och verken saknar givna punkter för start och slut. Det skapas en monoton rytm, en rytm som markerar stillheten i tiden. Jonsson tog sin MFA 2008 i Trondheim i Norge. Hon har visat sina videofilmer på festivaler och utställningar i Europa, USA och Japan. 2009 inviterades hon att vara jazzfestivalkonstnär på Babel under Norges Jazzfestival i Trondheim. Jonsson har tilldelats stipendium från svenska Iaspis samt en rad norska fonder och stiftelser.
