Born in Santiago Chile (1988), Martín La Roche is a visual artist living in Amsterdam. His works often find their starting points from existing collections of objects and memories, archives as modes of storytelling which he reassembles into installations, performances or publications. La Roche runs an independent publisher and research platform, Good Neighbour, alongside Dongyoung Lee, and Valeria Marchesini, which explores books as performative tools. Editions from Good Neighbour are stocked in NewBridge Books.
Giles Bailey works with performance, using texts, video fragments and choreographies to explore how knowledge and meaning are generated through relationships with others. Since 2016, he has published TALKER, an interview zine about performance. Bailey is a senior lecturer in Fine Art at Newcastle University and has worked on various projects throughout the North East of England such as CIRCA Projects, TEA Universe at ArtHouses, and Festival of the Not at the Star and Shadow Cinema.
