Mykel Boyd
Mykel Boyd (°1970, Kankakee,IL) makes sound recordings, conceptual artworks, photos, installations and films. By experimenting with aleatoric processes, Boyd creates work in which a fascination with the clarity of content and an uncompromising attitude towards conceptual and minimal art can be found. The work is aloof and systematic and a cool and neutral imagery is used
His practice provides a useful set of allegorical tools for maneuvering with a pseudo-minimalist approach in the world of conceptual art: these meticulously planned works resound and resonate with images culled from the fantastical realm of imagination. With a subtle minimalistic approach, he formalizes the coincidental and emphasizes the conscious process of composition that is behind the seemingly random works. The thought processes, which are supposedly private, highly subjective and unfiltered in their references to dream worlds, are frequently revealed as assemblages.
His works feature coincidental, accidental and unexpected connections which make it possible to revise art history and, even better, to complement it. Combining unrelated aspects lead to surprising analogies. By applying abstraction, he creates intense personal moments masterfully created by means of rules and omissions, acceptance and refusal, luring the viewer round and round in circles.

Katie Wood
Katieʼs work investigates relationships between body and space through sound, text and image. The results of these investigations manifest as performances, soundscapes and multimedia assemblages that place personal experience within sociopolitical narrative. Elements of these assemblages have included vocal performance, text, field recordings, synthesis and amplified objects. This locative process contextualizes identity and troubles the complex interrelationships between people, place and power. Examining the personal as political, Katie creates dense, multi-layered performances that excavate the global implications of everyday lived experience. Katie holds a BA in Studio Art and Environmental Studies from the College of William & Mary, and is an MFA candidate in Sound at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.
