Sarah Bianco
Sarah has found a way of capturing fleeting ephemeral moments and giving them space to live on forever. Her warm and whimsical paintings portray life as an abstraction where vivid yet subtle ideas present themselves like a dream in eternal sleep.
Her love of color and fascination with the mysteries of life are revealed through themes of self-inquiry, interconnectivity, wonder, and the paradox of discomfort and exhilaration that exist at the threshold of change.
Kaitlin McSweeney
Kaitlin McSweeney is a musician and composer based in the SF Bay Area. Her solo work is a continuous exploration always shifting in form and focus, with a foundational inspiration in the experience of sound and song as an elastic, porous space or place created in collaboration with listening, memory, narrative and other conditions inside and out in the moment of sounding. She is currently composing a piece with three movements inspired by stories of the goddesses Inanna, Ereshkigal, and Lilitu.
Kaitlin is also a visual artist, writer and one half of the electronic project Wisdomfaçade with Kevin Balcora.
Domi
Dominique Nigro is a lifelong performance artist and dancer of varied vocabulary based in Oakland, Ca. Infinitely inspired by both the mundane and fantastical, their art aims to explore the merging paradigms of these worlds by delving into highly emotional feeling states, improvisation, and technical movement forms.
Eeriærmor
Eeriærmor (E:Æ:R) is the very personal and immersive new sound mapping motif of Kevin Gan Yuen (b.1981). (Circle of Eyes, Sutekh Hexen, CTE, etc.).
Conceptually, E:Æ:R honors memory and the moment via granular synthesis sculpture, utilizing detailed dynamic frequency layering techniques, resulting in powerful emotional imprinting.
