Miroslaw Chudy (Miami USA). Born in Wielun Poland. Studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts Wroclaw, Poland. In 1988-89 studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Athens, Greece. During college years in Wroclaw (1986), times of deep economic and political crisis in Poland, while drinking alcohol, bad quality wine, on the banks of the Odra River, we threw an idea to meet in the USA in more favorable conditions, drinking better alcohol. We managed to accomplish it after nearly 30 years, sitting finally on a bench in a similar configuration in South Beach in Miami, not far from the ocean.

Pawel Mikulowski. Born in Wroclaw. He studied at the Academy of Fine Arts in Wroclaw. He lives and works in Wroclaw. He deals with the production of objects that are usually not used for anything specific. He uses traditional artistic techniques, new technologies and generative design depending on the needs of the currently implemented project. He is fascinated by the influence of contemporary communication and information media on the ongoing unification of social values, tastes and ideals, and the periodic appearance of original turbulences in this mainstream as independent microecosystems. In his works, he is also intrigued by the emanation of error, anomaly or chance on the process of both the creation and perception of the work.
