Jim Woodall (b.1978, Oxford) lives and works in London. Woodall works across diverse media: sculpture, photography, video, installation and performance. His work stems from a personal and socio-political encounter with the built environment and reflects upon land ownership, human-led accelerated entropy and how technology affects our relationship with and memory of landscape.
Recent exhibitions include Tomorrow People, Elevator Gallery, London, 2013; React, Dilston Grove, 2013 and Olympic State, See Studios, London, 2011.
Woodall was a founding member of CutUp collective, an interventionist art group, from 2004-9.

Alexander Page (b. 1983, London) lives and works in London. Page's work engages with memory and landscape. Landscape is used as a foil or a cipher to unlock direct relationships with the self, memory, nostalgia, loss and love. His work speaks of wandering, nostalgic journeys, of days spent lost in reverie but also of art and image making as a form of release from melancholia.
Recent exhibitions include A Dense Glitter of Alternatives, Vitrine Gallery, London and Like a Monkey Puzzle Tree, Copeland Park Gallery, London (as part of the Art Licks festival), both 2013.

Luke Burton (b.1983, London) lives and works in London. Burton's work crosses sculpture, installation, photography, video and drawing to explore the irreducible complexity of aesthetic reception and pleasure, and probe the convoluted relationship between architecture, class and taste. Humour and play infiltrate a restrained and serious language of the decorative within his work and enable a critical dissidence from formal and socio-political constraints.
