John and Charles Hancock are the Amazing Hancock Bros.

Print-makers, poets, and performers, this dynamic duo presents a collection of political satire and whimsical imagery with a colorful punch.

Ouija is an impure thought, a curiosity, and an exploration through the primal darkness of the recessed mind that makes the skin itch and the brain tingle. Through performative actions, installation and illustration, Ouija meanders within the delicacy of virginity and the thrill of sin using the human emotion as a tool to open up new understandings to questions we never wanted to ask.
Ouija roots herself in Brooklyn, New York and has been exhibited in galleries and venues across the globe and included in various renowned international publications.

Peter Rosvik

Peter Rosvik (b. 1968) has a long experience of working with crossover art strategies in diverse cultural communities. By combining material and immaterial elements of analogue, electronic, and digital displays his artworks extensively explores various combinations of visual, noise and body expressions as humanity. Since 2007 he focuses on performance art exploring what he calls “the often specious distinctions between the artificial and the natural of being human”. He play with conceptions of art as cultural memory and art as personal conceptions of identity. His current artworks focus on statements of embodied experiences of human exclusion and inclusion in society and culture. Peter Rosvik is born in Sweden and lives in Finland since 1982.

Around the name NON GRATA there have been different hushes and shushes for a long time. Already from the point of view of death of conventionalization of art it has embodied the horrible and unwanted disembodiment of human person, from which the meaninglessness of nowadays art, is pouring out. For those, whose world of arts starts from the point, where the art world ends, NON GRATA has been a liberator, the orphic gap in the seemingly unalterable course, which however betrays us, it is a cure from incest. The main point of the group is ethical - it is the image of primitivism, impersonality and experimental creativity. The performances of the group take place according to the logic of avoiding codes. The presentations are physical texts, whose ways of orthography and reading are kept within limits of real actions by the groupmembers. Aesthetical and provocative challenges are represented in places, where the Art World doesn't work.
