Lucrecia Dalt dove into music full–time after working as a civil engineer in Colombia. Her pursuit of avant–garde sound brought her to Spain and then to Germany, where she currently resides. While highly technical, Dalt has always balanced the sharp mind of a methodical thinker with the restless heart of a passionate artist, gradually seeking a way to create hand–crafted mental states through sound, maintaining a quantity of emotionality, merging accessible, melody with abstract structures, handcrafted effects and sampling. Her recent work develops around the ideas of repositioning fiction, time perception, scale, telluric affect, repetition, vocoding and sound dynamics.
With her surrealist experimentations, Colombian musician Lucrecia Dalt draws from a vast wealth of artistic and philosophical influences: From New German Cinema and artificial intelligence to the politics of listening and technological ideas of the future.
David Blamey is a London-based artist. His work encompasses several activities that overlap to form a multidimensional practice that eludes conventional categorisation. To this end, his projects are positioned consciously within a range of public situations, both inside and beyond the art gallery. His film Rice was selected for the Mumbai International Film Festival (2017) before being screened worldwide at events including the Workers Unite Film Festival, NYC (2019) and the Rome Agri Culture Film Festival (2019), where it was awarded best world film. Rice will be premiering in the UK in the Whitechapel Gallery’s Zilkha Auditorium in November 2019. The Wire described his O.K. cassette release for My Dance the Skull’s Voice Studies series as ‘something quite strange, creepy and good’.

Alonso Leon-Velarde is an artist living and working in Lima. Educated at the Art Institute of Chicago and Goldsmiths, with a focus on painting, centering around an investigation into site, colour and surface. Through painting he explores ways to produce sensation, and expose inherent hierarchies in the subject. Each work is a transformation, something imagined rather than seen.
