Taking place on Zoom, each artist will offer an intimate look at their studio practice and current work through video presentations, followed by a group conversation and Q&A.

Eric Ramos Guerrero is a multidisciplinary artist based in New York City. He received a BA from San Diego State University, a BFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and an MFA from Columbia University. Ramos Guerrero considers the detritus of the West as a place where cultural unrest endures and returns to the viewer as glimpses; things half seen between the foliage of an obstructed beach view or as a weak radio signal emerging through the static. Through painting, drawing, sculpture, video and performance, Ramos Guerrero mines both the fluidity of multiculturalism, and our romanticism of the exotic to propose alternate histories and possible futures.

In search of transparency in vision and voice, the medium-independent artist Joeun Kim Aatchim draws audiovisual essays. Her recent research focuses on the poetic translation of her stereoblindness and the psychology of womanhood. Aatchim's projects have been shown internationally, including at SBC Galerie d'art Contemporain in Montréal, Long March Space in Beijing, 80 WSE Gallery, The Jewish Museum, and The Drawing Center in New York. She is a recipient of various fellowships, including Nida Art Colony in Lithuania, Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, The Lighthouse Works, and Open Sessions at The Drawing Center. She earned her BFA in Studio Arts at New York University and MFA in Visual Arts at Columbia University.

Using landscape and bureaucracy as material, Jessica Segall explores belonging through inter-species, site-specific work. Her work plays with both the risk of engaging with the environment and the vulnerability of the environment itself. Recent exhibitions at the Coreana Museum of Art, The Fries Museum, The National Museum of American Jewish History and screenings at COP 26 and TED. Jessica received grants from The Pollock Krasner Foundation, New York Foundation for the Arts, New York State Council on the Arts and Art Matters, and attended artist residencies at Skowhegan, The MacDowell Colony and The Van Eyck Academie. Her work has been in Cabinet Magazine, The New York Times and Sculpture Magazine. She received her MFA from Columbia University in 2010 and lives in Brooklyn.

Eileen Isagon Skyers is an artist, writer, and curator based in New York City. Her work and research engages with identity, new media, and digital culture. She co-founded the New-York based gallery HOUSING, whose mission is to support artistic practices and aesthetic experiences that contour the limits of visibility, and advance the conditional inclusion of artists of color. Alongside her work as an independent curator, Skyers has worked with arts institutions and organizations including Rhizome, David Zwirner, and the Whitney Museum of American Art. Skyers is currently Director of Communications at Foundation. This residency occurs in partnership with the Finnish Cultural Institute in New York and the Finnish Cultural Foundation.
