Spanning performance, installation, video/film, Ash Moniz’s practice is based on supply-chain logistics, informed by long-term research including “field work” (on container ships and in ports) and working with maritime lawyers to make legally accurate fictions. Through interviews/performative collaborations, Moniz deconstructs the temporality of narrative structure in “Just-In-Time” transportation logistics, emphasizing the word “plot”, and its etymological connection between land ownership & the arrangement of dramatic structure on a stage. Moniz’s work addresses the constitutions of thought and forms of naturalizing that occur in legal frameworks of shipping, and challenges how material infrastructure and legal performativity are complicit within logistical violence

Through installation and sculpture, Shauna Steinbach explores themes of time, memory, precarity, and connectivity. Originating at the intersection of accident and unknowing, Steinbach’s willfully ambiguous forms are often constructed of estranged elements from the everyday. At times, Steinbach explores the nature of impermanence by activating sculptures with catalysts such as water, light, heat, and wind, producing works that are in states of transition.

Poyen Wang is an artist and filmmaker, born and raised in Taiwan and currently based in New York City. Informed by his queer and immigrant experiences, his recent work uses 3D computer graphics to create a cinematic space that is tactile and immersive, offering resistance and tenderness, and grappling with issues of identity, sexuality, and masculinity. He approaches image-making as a theatrical endeavor, staging scenes of psychological tension to explore the emotional landscape of the self.

Ang Ziqi Zhang (b. 1994, Brampton, Ontario) is a painter, DJ, and friend based in Brooklyn, NY. Her painting practice is a site for abstract thought, association, and visual recalibration. She thinks about the tethers and dissonances between affect theory, western capitalism, dance music culture, visuality, and science. The resulting works are akin to stanzas in a long poem. Zhang holds an MFA in Painting/Printmaking from Yale School of Art (2023) and a dual BA in Economics and Visual Arts from the University of Chicago (2016).
