Johann Lurf
Johann Lurf (born in 1982) was educated as an artist at the Academy of Fine Arts in Vienna, Austria. He is known as an experimental filmmaker who cannot easily be subsumed under one style or category. His films examine various modes of (both human and technologically-aided) vision and motion, but his more formally-oriented filmic experiments are always accompanied by strong narratives that, however subtly, examine society, codes, norms, perception, and the history and development of cinema itself. Dabbling in short and feature-length films, analog and digital film, found-footage and his own shots, Lurf has made a wide variety of cinematic works, many of which have been featured in international film festivals and cultural institutions, notably the Sundance Film Festival and the Austrian Film Museum, Austrian Cultural Forum New York, August 2018 Artist Website
Ga Ram Kim
Kim’s work focuses on social and cultural issues through playful participatory experiments. She mainly uses installation, media, and performance to induce audience participation and empathy. She carefully observes various social phenomena around her and attempts to capture an idea of the changing contemporary moment within her artistic experiments. In her works TheSexyBikini.com, Virgin Candy, #SELSTAR, and #FANTASY, Kim focused on the ironic dimensions of situations in which the meaning of value has changed over recent years, or how different levels of meaning creates conflict in the contemporary period. She has deepened her attention with contemporary societal issues at the 4ROSE Sound Project and the AGENDA Hair Salon. In her practice, Ga Ram Kim focuses on the social role of art in an ever- changing society. Through the social platform of the art exhibition, she hopes to use her work to create a meaningful venue for public conversation. Artist Website
