Artist Information:

Luis F. Muñoz (b. 1994, Ciudad de México) lives and works in Mexico City. He studied for a BFA at the Escuela Superior de Arquitectura, in Guadalajara, Jalisco. His work is mainly based on the observation and study of power relations, hierarchies, and instrumentalization present in the dynamics of cultural production and consumption. His work seeks to contrast the solemnity of fields of knowledge, such as cultural theory and art history, with the irreverence and nonchalance of contemporary pop culture. He approaches these concerns through different formal solutions, such as painting, text, installation, and curatorial practices.

Keith Boadwee  (b. 1961, Meridian, MS)  lives in Emeryville, CA. He received a Master of Fine Arts from the University of California, Berkeley, CA in 2000 and a Bachelor of Arts from the University of California, Los Angeles, CA in 1989. Boadwee’s work was the subject of one-person exhibitions at Atelier 34zero Museum, Jette, Belgium (2017) and SF Camera Work, San Francisco, CA (1994).

Angélique Heidler (b. 1992) lives and works in Ivry-sur-Seine. She graduated from the Slade School of Fine Art in 2015. Her intuitive painting practice is constructed in conjunction with collage, sewing and various image printing techniques, in connection with the paradoxical dualities embedded in representations of consumer society. She uses aesthetic references in the endless horizon of media and marketing, most often to evoke the nuanced construction of gender and the individual. Her work has been exhibited in France and internationally, recent solo and group shows in galleries and institutions include : Salon International de la Peinture de Delme, CAC Synagogue de Delme, Delme, 2025; I KNOW WHAT I DO (…), Galleri Opdahl, Stavanger, 2024; Gossips, Nir Altman, Munich, 2024; Zero Moment of Truth, Weiss Falk, Zürich, 2024; Target Group Show, Braunsfelder, Cologne, 2023; May My Fiction Rule, Tilling, Montréal, 2022; Love Letters .CHF, Stadtgalerie, Bern, 2021; Piselli, Bad Water, Knoxville, 2021; Your Friends and Neighbors, High Art, Paris, 2020; Softview/Privatissime, Neuer Essener Kunstverein, Essen, 2020; Stay Safe, Shivers Only, Chantemanche, 2020; Heidler Mailaender, Galerie Derouillon, Paris, 2019. Recent residencies include : Résidence de Lindre-Basse, CAC Synagogue de Delme, (FR, 2023) Stadtgalerie Bern, (CH, 2021). She was selected for the 5th edition of prix Révélations Emerige (2017, FR).

Scott Galván (b. 1998, Guadalajara) lives and works in Mexico City. He graduated with a degree in Visual Arts from the Escuela Nacional de Pintura, Escultura y Grabado (National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving).
His work focuses on drawing and painting, exploring the material and conceptual possibilities of these media. Through a visual language that incorporates elements of caricature and popular culture, his work investigates the intersections between the artificial and the natural, memory and the hybrid, humor and fantasy. His recent projects delve into the convergence of drawing on the pictorial plane, using forced perspective, repetition and suggestion as narrative resources. These strategies generate dynamic atmospheres marked by instability, haste and movement, establishing nuanced connections between the particular and the universal.

His work has been shown individually in Proyectos Múltiproposito (CDMX 2025), Chino Libros (CDMX, 2024), Compás 88 (CDMX, 2023), Machete Galería (CDMX, 2022) and Ruina (Oaxaca, 2021). His participation in group exhibitions include Aquí Hay Fuego Desembocado at the Museo de los Pintores Oaxaqueños (2023), Esto no es Guadalajara at HOOOGAR (2023), Minibar El Renacuajo at Compás 88 (2023) and Evite Apoyarse en el Cristal Vol. I at Tiro Al Blanco (2024).

Lucia Aguilar (b. 1997, Santa Cruz) is a Bay Area-based multidisciplinary artist. Her practice entails mainly oil and acrylic painting and branches into music, video, sewing, and animation. Since graduating from CCA with a BFA in Painting and Drawing she has been included in shows at galleries such as Et al., Climate Contro, Minnesota Street Projects, and Adobe Books. Pop culture as well as spiritual/other-worldy experiences are used as inspiration for her surrealist and post impressionistic pictures.

Morgan Corbitt (b. 1997 Los Angeles) lives and works in San Francisco CA. She received her BA at San Francisco State University. Her process begins with photographs from her camera roll and images found online via Ebay, which are then distorted and cropped. Removing these images from their original settings and placing them in conversation with other images as diptychs allows them to take on new meanings. These sometimes random combinations mirror the tension between the traditions of oil painting- its laborious and meditative nature, and the abundance of cheap images and visual stimulation that we encounter in our everyday lives. Her work explores our relationship to the object world, and how the things we see everyday become charged symbols. She has shown individually with Bass and Reiner, San Francisco (2024), Adobe Books, San Francisco (2022), and Good Mother Gallery, Oakland (2021) as well as group shows with Guerrero Gallery, Los Angeles (2025), 120710, Berkeley (2024), The Community, Paris (2023) Dog Gallery, San Francisco (2023), New Image Art, Los Angeles (2022) amongst others.

Juni Aranda (b. 2001, Ciudad de México)is a multidisciplinary artist based in Mexico City, graduated from the National School of Painting, Sculpture and Engraving.In his work, he incorporates three-dimensional techniques and elements within painting to create complex sensory environments. With this, he seeks to juxtapose different fictitious landscapes, personal circumstances and points of view of other species to analyze the relationships that exist between the intimate space and everything that exists outside. He uses tender and pastel aesthetics to contrast feelings of nostalgia, sadness and longing.His work has been shown in national and international group exhibitions, including Imaginaciones radicales: una lectura disidente de la colección del MAM at the Museo de Arte Moderno (Mexico City, 2023) Escrituras es presente contínuo: Maaa mo me me muu at the Museo Hospicio Cabañas (Guadalajara, 2022), Mousetrap and No Fishing at the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Beaux-Arts de Paris (Paris, 2023), Modes of Recall at the Schau Fenster Gallery (Berlin, 2024), Sentimientos Queloides in Campeche Gallery (Mexico City, 2024), Todo_tiene_su_tiempo_. mp3 and Evite Apoyarse en el Cristal Vol. I at Tiro al Blanco gallery (Guadalajara, 2022 and 2024).
