TOMASZ SZRAMA
(b. 1970 in Poland) shifts between multiple disciplines, including photography, video and other time-based works. Regardless of the medium, a dominant thread, common in his work is the use of his own body and methods of performance art, which he practices since 1995. Characteristic feature of his work is the use of spectators, active participation of the audience and improvisation. His work touches on themes of travel, trust in interpersonal relationships, and the ever present potential for personal failure.

Szrama has been regularly performing internationally in various events and festivals in Europe, Asia, Africa, North and South America. Further, over the past 10 years, he has been an active performance art event organiser.
Szrama is a working grant recipient from the Arts Promotion Centre Finland for the year 2016 as well as the years 2018–2020 and from the Kone Foundation for 2017.

JOHN COURT
(b. 1969 in the UK, living in Tornio, Finland since 1997) Court is a duration performance artist for whom the time is one of the most important elements of his work. Sometimes that makes him performing for 8 hours, duration of a work day and sometimes performing the whole time the event is going on or the performance venue (museum, institution) is open each day. More recently he has been interested in letting the objects and materials he uses in his performances to determine the duration of the piece. He doesn’t consider his performances solo works, since they always include collaborative elements from curators, organizers, artists, viewers, objects, spaces and time. Court’s works are sensible to the site and they often create a parallel rhythm within the rhythm of the site with the ongoing repetitious action. All his works are fundamentally concerned with drawing or writing, in that drawing connects the elements of line, movement, space and time. He has exhibited extensively in Scandinavia, and by invitation at major events such as Beijing Live China (2016).Viva! Art Action festival Montreal Canada (2015) 7a*11d in Toronto, Canada and DigitaLive Guangzhou China (2014) SpaceX Gallery Exeter in UK (2012) Guangzhou Live Art Festival in China, ANTI Contemporary Art Festival in Finland (both 2010), the Venice Biennale (2005) and the Liverpool Biennial (2004).

EWA ZARZYCKA
(b. 1953, Poland) lives in Lublin and works in Wrocław. She is one of the individualities of Polish performance – her actions constantly transform and redefine the genre. Zarzycka has developed her own performance style that consists of addressing the audience with brief lecture-speeches. Each such event, even though unpromising, clumsy and slow in the beginning, gradually changes into a brilliant speech that brims with humour and fantastic appeal. The topic is often the very fact of performing in front of the audience, the moment when an ordinary situation changes into an extraordinary one, when the mundane changes into the artistic; Further, her performances often confront the problem of artists’ social position. Zarzycka is one of the few, or perhaps the only woman on the Polish art scene who has adopted the category of Logos as the central matter of her creative practice. In 1973–78 she studied at Eugeniusz Geppert Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. Since 2008 she has been teaching at the Department of Painting and Sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wrocław. She is also a member of the Association of Polish Artists and Designers, of the Bruno Schultz Festival Association, and a scholarship holder of the Polish Ministry of Culture.
