🚩 Gitte Maria Möller —— Gitte Maria Möller received her BAFA from the Michaelis School of Fine Art in 2015. She lives and works in Cape Town, South Africa and has exhibited extensively locally and internationally. Gitte uses a range of different mediums and painterly devices to explore the symbolic and numinous possibilities of picture-making. Drawing from religious painting, dream symbology, early video games, online fan art and references to childhood, Gitte’s work holds a complex array of signs, symbols, and archetypes in suspension. Through a solitary game of exquisite corpse, fragments of discarded and disregarded aesthetics are rehabilitated by way of exaggerated symbolism to give expression to issues concerning the soul, femininity, and fear.

🚩 Tom McGlynn —— Artist, writer, and independent curator Tom McGlynn is based in the NYC area. His work is represented in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum, the Museum of Modern Art, and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum of the Smithsonian. He is the director of Beautiful Fields, an organization dedicated to socially-engaged curatorial projects, and is also currently a visiting lecturer at Parsons School of Design, The New School. McGlynn’s work is interested in the morphing of commercial signage into cyphers of phenomenal experience—minimalist, abstract arrangements of color. He holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BFA from the Ramapo College of New Jersey. Tom is an Editor-at-Large for the Brooklyn Rail.
