CLAIRE DE SANTA COLOMA
1983 AR lives and works in Lisbon
Claire de Santa Coloma’s practice is predominately based in sculpture and
drawings, often incorporating both elements within the works. There appears
to be a tension of structure versus the organic in her works while a subtle
harmony is played out between the two. Claire is interested in working with
base materials such as wood and paper, the subject of her works often
surrounds the idea of space and the relation between the static and nonstatic worlds.
Studied Visual Arts at Maumaus, Lisbon 2009/2010, studied sculpture at
Ateliers Beaux-Arts de la Ville de Paris 2003/2007, receiving her MA in fine
arts from La Sorbonne, Paris 2007. Coloma has participated in residencies in

ROSANA RICALDE
1971 BR lives and works in Rio de Janeiro
Rosana Ricalde´s works investigate the complexity of language in its
application and various levels of interpretation. Throughout Ricalde´s practice
she has incorporated elements of text either directly or indirectly, the former
of which she is known well for by using cut-out sentences from books and
constructing almost infinite lengths of them to map out the streets of cities, or
by creating complex sculptures and installations. In other works the artist
employs calligraphy to build forms which question where the visual poetry
and the drawing begin.

Federal do Rio de Janeiro, Brazil 1994. Recent exhibitions include
Contemporary Art - Stenersen Museum, Oslo, Norway 2012; Paço Imperial Rio de Janeiro, Brasil 2012; Museu de Arte Murilo Mendes - Juiz de Fora,

SARA & ANDRÉ
1980 & 1979 PT live and work in Lisbon
Through the use of photography, performance, sculpture and video, Sara &
André focus their work on issues related to appropriation, authorship and
legitimacy. Their works, normally novel and site-specific are based upon a
survey of the sources of production of art theory, which directs their artistic
practice. Identity and self-representation are key themes employed in their
multidisciplinary collaboration, with a derisive and provocative tone that
characterizes their work.
Sara graduated from Escola Superior de Teatro e Cinema, Lisbon, Portugal

Rainha, Portugal 2005. Selected residencies include, Guimarães Capital da

SAM SMITH
1980 AU lives and works between Berlin & Sydney
Sam Smith is a video and installation artist whose practice integrates
sculptural construction and moving image in an exploration of cinematic
language. Interrogating the formal structure of screen-space his work
examines montage, filmic narrative and the camera apparatus. The works
explore the (de)construction of time and space within this framework,
creating a dialogue with the idea of cinema as three-dimensional.

Smith has been the recipient of numerous awards and has participated in
residency programs at Helsinki International Artist Programme 2012 & 2013;
