Lenka Clayton was born in 1977 in Cornwall, England, and lives and works in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. She received her BA from Central Saint Martins College of Art in 1999 and her MA from the National Film and Television School in 2006. Clayton’s practice is rooted in a close observation of the world around her, highlighting the myriad ways we record our lives and relationships, and create moments of magic through simple gestures and mundane materials. Making films by organizing strangers by age, creating sculptural installations of dangerous objects made child-safe, or installing exhibitions in the windows of local businesses, the artist draws inspiration from her community in Pittsburgh, her family, and the world around her. In doing so, Clayton creates a body of work that centers on the beauty of the everyday and the power of human connection.

Delcy Morelos was born in 1967 in Tierralta, Colombia, and lives and works in Bogotá, Colombia. She received her BFA from La Escuela de Bellas Artes de Cartagena in 1991. Using materials drawn from the earth, such as pigment minerals, soil, and plant life, Morelos centers our relationship with the natural world, inviting a sense of harmony and dialogue with the environment around us. Across her paintings, sculptures, and multisensory installations, Morelos’s practice weaves together disparate histories and traditions: from Andean and Amazonian Indigenous cosmologies to the histories of violence and extraction in the Americas, using abstract forms and gestures to convey their impact on humanity and the earth.

Josh Kline was born in 1979 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, and currently lives in New York City, New York. The artist received his BA from Temple University in 2002. From sculptures of 3D-printed portraits wrapped in recycling bags to videos advocating for Universal Basic Income to installations of temporary housing in the aftermath of a flood, Kline explores the impact of emergent technologies, widening class divides, and the looming threat of climate disaster on contemporary life. His works often present dystopic visions of the near future, where the consequences of political instability, the automation of human labor, and natural disasters have transformed life as we know it, engaging audiences in the project of imagining something better.

Sin Wai Kin was born in 1991 in Toronto, Canada, and lives and works in London, United Kingdom. The artist received their BA from Camberwell College of Arts in 2014 and their MA from the Royal College of Art, London in 2017. Drawing on diverse performance styles, such as drag, boy bands, newscasting, and sitcoms, Sin plays with genre conventions, narrative structures, and character tropes to reveal the cultural constructions at the heart of everyday experience. In an ongoing series of interconnected works, the artist has developed a cast of archetypal characters, each reflecting distinct relationships to fundamental concepts such as truth, identity, and change. Sin develops fictional worlds that explore the stories we tell about ourselves and our society, presenting more fluid possibilities for both.
