Susana Mendes Silva
Susana Mendes Silva (b. Lisbon, 1972) is a visual artist and a
performer. Her work incorporates elements of research and archival
practice that leads to the creation of works whose historical and
political references become visible as exhibitions, actions and
performances that employ a wide variety of media. Her universe
considers and reframes different social contexts without ever
losing track of the individual's uniqueness. Her psychological
intimacy and her voice are often the means for the diffusion and
reception of poetic and political messages that call upon them.
Susana studied Sculpture at FBAUL (Lisbon, PT), and in the
MPhil/PhD Fine Art (Studio Based Research) at Goldsmiths College
for which she was awarded a grant from the Calouste Gulbenkian
Foundation. She has a PhD based in her practice — "Performance as
an Intimate Encounter" — by the College of the Arts of the
University of Coimbra. Susana is a Professor at the Department of
Landscape, Environment and Planning of the University of Évora
lecturing in the Landscape Architecture MA and is a Research
fellow at CEIS20 / Universidade de Coimbra.

Frans van Lent
Frans van Lent is initiator, organizer and participant of the
Biennale de Momon.
His artistic practice is concept-driven and minimal in approach.
Through performative and sculptural methods, his practice focuses
on human behavior in public space, and the observation, processing
and redefining of the everyday ways in which this is perceived.
He uses different methods, specifically chosen for each occasion:
performance; photography, video, sound, descriptive texts.
Collaboration with other artists and organizing events are
important and consistent aspects of his artistic practice. In 2014
and 2016 he organized the Unnoticed Art Festival in the cities of
Haarlem and Nijmegen (NL). In 2015 he started TheConceptBank.org,
a free online database for performance concepts. He started the
website UnnoticedArt.com. He has published two books, Unnoticed
Art (2014) and TheParallelShow (2018), distributed by Jap Sam
Books.

Joshua Schwebel
Joshua Schwebel is a Canadian artist living and working in Berlin.
He has worked, and continues to work across multiple contexts, but
prefers artist-run projects to larger institutional
configurations. His work often questions the context and
conditions out of which art is produced, particularly addressing
the decommodification of artistic labour and the financial or
economic inequalities underpinning most examples of artistic
“success”. He is currently supported by funding from the Canada
Council for the Arts. Although indefinitely postponed, he is
working towards upcoming solo projects with Centre Clark in
Montreal, Oeil de Poisson in Quebec City, and Forest City Gallery
in London, Ontario.

Lisa Skuret
Lisa Skuret is an artist and writer with an interdisciplinary
practice and academic background in sciences and arts. Skuret’s
central concerns are transdisciplinary learning and contemporary
agency.
Skuret’s projects and live works have taken place at MoMA PS1, New
York; Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA), London; David Roberts
Art Foundation (DRAF), London; Spike Island, Bristol; Parasol
Unit, London; PEER Gallery, London; and Museum of Work, Sweden.
She has published critical texts in international visual cultures
journals and spoken at events such as Radical Education Forum’s
State of Education Conference, and Composing Differences a
week-long research project and public programme at MoMA PS1 in New
York organized by e-flux.
Her research projects have been supported by: Arts and Humanities
Research Council, Arts Council England, and A-N: The Artists
Information Company.
In 2014-15, Skuret received an Arts Council Award initiating a
major new project, Evolution Isn’t Fast Enough. The project
brought ideas around deaccession into play, with the parallel rise
of new art schools and urban regeneration in London. The three
strands of the project acted as probes towards alternative
possible futures.
One strand, A Call from the Library, was a two day performance
installation and sound composition taking place throughout a
former public library in London. Building a future library through
the possibilities of listening and sound, the work was generated
live by ‘listening to’ and ‘playing’ a building, concept, utopian
project and space of knowledge production. The score was a
constellation which included architecture, gesture, algorithm,
instructions and live text.
Evolution Isn't Fast Enough is ongoing. As part of the project
development, Skuret has been training over the past four years in
Group and Organisational Psychotherapy and as a teacher of Yogic
Practice and Philosophy. She is a long term practitioner of both
technologies. She has recently been awarded funding to develop the
project through an international research residency at an
experimental township in India.

Elia Torrecilla
Elia Torrecilla developes an interdisciplinary artistic project
focused on the activity of the walk in all its forms; a practice
to become aware of space and feel part of the urban whole through
the body.
Her work seeks an exploration of our relationship with the urban
environment to generate a set of minimal pieces, actions, and
interventions. By using walking as the methodology for “putting
into action”, her work is processual, that is, it focuses on the
path. She has a Ph.D. in Art. Production and Research. Her
artistic practice is shown through the documentation, records, and
materials used in the actions and interventions, which she
completes and complements with theoretical research in the
elaboration of articles, a format that allows her to relate and
contextualize her work. Therefore, her production overlaps and
combines practical and theoretical research as part of her life
experience. Likewise, the works that she develops individually,
are in permanent review and mutations, playing with different
scales, taking it to group work, or experimenting with them
through different workshops, and also within the teaching field.
They are therefore elastic and variable proposals with which a
conscious presence is sought in the streets and an encounter with
the other through action.

Martine Viale
Martine Viale is an action art artist. Her work, contextual and
site-specific is anchored in a practice of presence. Working
regularly in the public space and unusual locations that can
facilitate unpredictable encounters with passers-by, she seeks to
create an open space in which daily interactions have the
potential to become part of the art’s strategies. Trying to
underline the artistic possibilities hidden in the ordinary, she
develops ephemeral and subtle situations that reflect on interval
spaces. Everything related to territory, borders and displaced
spaces is of particular interest to her.
Born in Montreal,
Canada, Martine Viale lives and works in Perpignan, France. Since
1999, her work has been presented in several festivals, galeries
and site-specific contexts across Canada and internationally,
notably in Brazil, Israel, Poland, Cyprus, the United-States,
Brittany, France, Belgium, Serbia, the Philippines, Japan,
Scotland, Spain, Ukraine and Denmark. She has also given several
performance art workshops in Montreal (Studio 303; La Centrale
galerie powerhouse), Chicago (Defibrillator Performance Art
Gallery) as well as in France (Frac Lorraine, Metz; Le Quartz
scène nationale de Brest), Belgium (La Cambre, Brussels), Ukraine
(School of Performance, Lviv) and Spain (Acción!Mad18, Madrid).
