My name is Mark Nieborg, I’m 28 years old and from The Netherlands. I’ve only been in Barcelona for a few months, but I feel at home already. I graduated Psychology 2 years ago, now I’m trying to combine it with my longtime passion; Art. Currently working for Apple but it’s not slowing me down from realizing my dream; starting a business and doing projects in which I can combine both Psychology and Arts. A part from helping people, I’m focussing on introducing different forms of Art in the life of kids. Developing the talent that’s already there….
Laila Tafur
She likes to work mostly on borders, between image and action, performance and installation. Using the body as a tool to transcend physical and theoretical domains. Her baggage is the one of dancer, from classical ballet to non-technique things, keeping the questions about professional and amateur, well done and bad done, right and wrong. She developed her career between Reykjavik, Copenhagen, Berlin, Lisbon, Barcelona, Ibiza and Granada in order to mount up a long list of skill, experiences, habits, information around what performance is or how is the future for contemporary dance, and in her own words: “I didn’t find any answer at the moment. Maybe out of Europe, in a place with no memory in contemporary dance, a fresh spot…”
Mike Guerrero
One day he decided to leave his career from the world of construction to do a discovery trip in India. There, drawing between temples, cities and dust, he discovered that his vocation was to design. Back to his original town in Granada he worked developing projects in urban scale; within the network Murcia31, obtainning several prizes. Later, he founded Miga Arquitectura with the artist and programmer Ángel Muñoz, after receiving the Andalusian Design Prize. After leaving his activity in Miga he started his research in structures based in sand; assisted by prototyping systems added to industrial machines. Building several sculptures on the desert of Sahara and the beach of Barceloneta; His activity is now focused on the parametric production of solar houses, performance scenography and sculptures that distort rizomatic orders…

Caesar is an artist who works with all the fine art mediums he can get his hands on. he does this in an attempt to apply the differing techniques they each have to develope his own style and creativity. each field feeding into the other and providing a different perspective to the creative process. specializing in painting drawing and physical theatre, while exploring the other fields. caesar approaches his performances the same way he does any other piece of fine art, with the eyes of composition lighting depth and colors to create a visual experience on the stage. he has been an active artist now for over 15years. he is constantly looking forward to delving deeper into his work.
Exploring my life I have been through different periods of all sorts, from success to sorrow and art to science, collecting perspectives on what constitutes my world. For my relevance as an artist to become more plausible, I shall present rhetorically a few of the credentials that I have collected though the years, even though they are not more than stories that obtain value within our cultural paradigm. I must say that these credentials do not represent my works or my attitudes towards the world:
I have been recognized with multiple awards, including the John Bavicchi Composition Award, an Ableton award and I have been fellow of the Telmex foundation, the Mexican Council for the Arts and Culture and the Mexican Council for Science and Technology, as well as Berklee College of Music and the Universitat Pompeu Fabra. I have worked in virtually all areas of contemporary music and explored the grounds of philosophy and philosophy of science, more recently I have been exploring the realm of cognitive sciences. Currently I am working on 3D sound for a EU’s project called Rehabilitation Gaming System with the support of the Mexican institutions FONCA and CONACYT. I have thrist for producing, exploring and sharing this creative experience that will break into rich redefinitions of the world.
Her voice is full of self confident. Her words are no additive, no rhetoric.
Ji-eun is a singer songwriter from Seoul, Korea. She didn’t have any prejudice to any kinds of music and art. Because she believed music and art couldn’t be described as a single word.
Her open eye to the world let her sing her own songs. She experienced many interesting life. travelled a lot and met lots of people who inspired her much. At 2006, She made her debut as a member of acoustic duo named, heavenly. Heavenly had a few club gigs then applied for Yoo Jaeha’s singer songwriter competition. Heavenly won a bronze medal. Then she left the duo to start her solo career. The first album, ‘Ji-Eun‘ is a self produced album. The way of production was truly ‘self produced’. She asked her fans for a donation to fund. This was a quite fresh, because no one had produced an album as she did before.
When ‘Ji-Eun‘ was released, it became popular by word of mouth alone. ‘Ji- Eun‘ didn’t have a chance to promote like other records had because it came from totally independent. Her debut album became one of the top seller in Hyang music, which can be ‘Rough Trade Records’ in Korea.
Ji-Eun is currently working on her new book and Her long awaited 3rd studio album will be out by fall, 2012.

Video de la primera exhibicion organizada por el colectivo Fab Art en Studio P52 en Diciembre de 2011. Fab Art es un proyecto que relaciona la tecnologia con los diferentes medios de expresion artisitica, relacionandolos con el mundo fisico de una manera fluida.
StudioP52 hosted the Urban Activators workshop, consisting on a huge Inflatable structure setup at the spaces of our building, allowing performances and community exchange within ephimeral structures:
more about the workshop:
The International Architecture Festival EME3 presents the Urban Activators workshop that will be hosted at the COAC (Col·legi Oficial d’Arquitectes de Catalunya), as part of their eme3_on activities program. The workshop will be a professional forum, live public installation and an exhibition discussing the informal processes of activating our urban environment. Most importantly this workshop will promote and communicate the rich quantity of unsolicited urban actions, interventions and activations that recent world events have been proposing, debating and enacting.
Urban Activators calls on architects, designers, activists and the general public for new strategies of public activation. Our proposal for the Urban Activators workshop is to work on inflatable devices, light and portable pavilions which may temporarily activate public space within the city of Barcelona, Spain.
Design and construct Mobile-Elastic-Portable Inflatable structures with an objective to turn public areas into active spaces.

Ariana Cardenas Vargas
Actress / Audiovisual artist
Short Bio: Moving in the area between film and theater, I use my video editing studies and my work as an actress to play with multi-visual arts as I experiment with disguise. Currently studying musical theater, feeling curious about video art and VJing, and developing a project that uses burlesque to work with the body and elements of undressing as a tool to change attitudes and prejudices against the female natural body in today’s society. It’s showtime!

Jenna Mann
Photography
I was raised in Brooklyn, New York. I started learning how to develop film and work in a darkroom when I was 11 years old and since then have always pursed my interest in the process of developing pictures. I often use old cameras including a Polaroid in which for the past two years I have dedicated to producing my artwork. I also sometimes like to draw my photographs. I try to incorporate my interest in psychology into my work.

Kara Liebowitz, Artist and Anthropology student
I am a New York City based artist and a student of Anthropology at New York University as well.
In terms of my process relating to my painting, I like to work large because it allows me to move freely with my body, arm, and hand. In turn, I primarily paint with oils because of the fluidity and expressiveness which they allow me. My focus right now is on figurative paintings of women. I hope to explore the relationship between gender and sexuality in terms of representation, ideas, attitudes, actions, beliefs, and practices. It is possible to interpret the women I depict as an objectification of women in general so I think it important to emphasize that my goal is not to perpetuate stereotypes that entrap women.
I believe there to be a great deal of strength that can be derived from one’s sexuality and it is pivotal to the construction of selfhood. I struggle to understand this with my paintings and ultimately I hope to challenge paradigms about art by making people question themselves.
I reside in a fifth floor walkup in the West Village (Greenwich Village in Manhattan) with two hairless cats named Igby and Nefertiti. Their natural curiosity and off beat looks and demeanor inspire me.
