Chloë Bass is a multi-form artist working in performance, situation, publication, and installation. Her work addresses scales of intimacy: where patterns hold and break as group sizes expand, and daily life as a site of deep research. Her current project, The Book of Everyday Instruction, is an eight-chapter investigation into one-on-one social interaction. Recent projects have been shown at the Brooklyn Museum, CUE Art Foundation, Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Project Space, The Southeastern Center for Contemporary Art, the James Gallery, and elsewhere. Her forthcoming book will be published by the Operating System in December 2017; her writing is most often found on Hyperallergic. She is an Assistant Professor in Social Practice at Queens College, CUNY. Bass is in residence at Triangle from July - November 2017.

Kerry Downey (b.1979, Ft. Lauderdale) is a multidisciplinary artist who makes videos, works on paper, and performances. Downey’s work illuminates the correspondences between private emotion and political consciousness. Their work presents queer bodies, landscapes, and objects as intimate, sensorial experiences. Holistic intuition and desire act as forms of agency and resistance, in defiance of authorial power, certainty, and the normalizing forces of capitalism. Their work is heavily influenced by gender queerness, their commitment to queer and feminist collaborations and pedagogies, as well as their role as a caregiver and teacher of people with Alzheimer’s and other disabilities.

Arash Fewzee was born in Mashhad, Iran. After finishing his bachelor of science in Economics, he moved to NY to attend Parsons, The New School of Design. His work focuses on the relationships between economics forces and art production, artist and institutions, mobility of objects and circulation of images. His work has been exhibited both in New York City and internationally, including most recently at the Beijing International Photography festival, Pingyao International Photography Festival, Pingyao, China; Auckland Festival of Photography art and Contemporary Art, New Zealand; Iranian Artists Forum, Tehran, Iran; and the Tyler School of Art in Philadelphia.

Liinu Grönlund depicts in her work the constant pursuit for truth and the means of approaching this goal. Grönlund studied fine arts at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki and documentary film at Aalto University in Helsinki. She utilizes the tradition of essay film and documentary form as a means of critically observing the personal. Her work deals with environmental issues and as a former student of natural sciences she eagerly follows researchers’ work. At the same time she is contemplating her own role as an artist as well as being one of the animals on this planet. At its core, it is about finding alternative solutions and hope. Currently Grönlund is working on various projects, one of which is a thriller together with artist Salla Tykkä. It is a film about the disappearance of two women and of escaping to a better parallel world. She’s also developing a futuristic documentary film with co-director artist Okku Nuutilainen. During her stay at the Triangle residency Grönlund will immerse herself in research for a new video work which examines the current political atmosphere and how it is experienced on an individual level, especially in NYC. She will also continue to develop her other moving image projects.
