Magdalen Wong is an artist based between New York and Lisbon, working with found materials drawn from social media, advertising, and films, as well as from objects and sounds collected from her travels. Her recent works wander into various fictitious roles created by individuals and cultures to understand how we evaluate, alter, influence, and adapt ourselves to built social environments and solitary dreamed spaces.

Maya Bamberger (born 1991, Jerusalem) is the curator of RawArt Gallery in Tel Aviv, a gallery dedicated to representing emerging and experimental artists. Recently curated exhibitions at RawArt include Dov Heller’s Nirim (2021), Sharon Glazberg’s Nowhere (2021), Sagie Azoulay’s Ernie (2020), and the group exhibition Raw Art (2019). One of her primary initiatives in the gallery promotes artists at the start of their careers, including youaresafe.net (2020), Maya Perry’s digital residency. Bamberger also instituted and produced, together with the gallery team, the 2020 Gallery weekend Tel Aviv events, marking the reopening of the Tel Avivian art field during the COVID-19 pandemic. As an independent curator, she co-curated with Ronny Koren, accompanied by Sergio Edelzstein, an exhibition of artist Hilla Toony Navok at the On Curating Project Space in Zurich for the multi-format series Choreographing the Public. In her practice, she works with the notion of the “ignorant curator” and with the boundaries of the curatorial to explore alternatives to explaining contemporary art. Bamberger holds a MAS in Curatorial Studies at Professor Dorothee Richter’s program at the Zurich University of the Arts and a B.A. in Art History and Cognitive Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. Her writing regularly appears in OnCurating magazine. Maya Bamberger's virtual curatorial residency is organized by Triangle in partnership with Artis.
