14.09.2017

Louise Trueheart — dancer, writer, choreographer. Her art deals with international politics, drone warfare, feminism, love, and internet intimacy. At present, Trueheart primarily makes one-on-one performances and video art, and collaborates with inspirational artists such as Ruairi Donovan and Alice Chauchat. She has also participated in Ponderosa P.O.R.C.H. Performance module and SMASH Berlin. Trueheart has been involved with the queer feminist collective and platform COVEN BERLIN since 2014, and has been senior editor of their online magazine, as well as co-creator of a mini reading series called fallow.
Sasha Pirogova — artist. Originally trained in theoretical physics as a graduate of the Department of Physics at Moscow State University in 2010, but decided to become a dancer and from there moved into contemporary visual art. Pirogova works with motion and its capacities, exploring the territory between a theatrical play and a ritual, between performativity and dance, transforming rational movements into metaphors. She also translates contemporary existential issues into a language of relations between humans, objects, and their environment. She is the winner of the Extra Short Film Festival, ESF (2012), a nominee for the Kandinsky Prize in the Young Artist, Project of the Year category (2013), the winner of the Innovation Prize in the New Generation category (2014), and was shortlisted for the Future Generation Art Prize (2017).
