ISRAEL \ GERMANY

​

Born in Tel Aviv in 1989, he moved to Berlin in 2010 and studied film studies, literature, and history in Bologna, Berlin, and Paris. As an interdisciplinary artist, he creates site-specific installations, sculptures, paintings, videos, and photographic series. His works engage with forgotten micro-histories, serving as tools to shed light on broader socio-political landscapes and to explore the intricate relationships between history, ideology, and aesthetics. He investigates various forms of personal, collective, and institutional memory, questioning the supposed clarity of the boundaries between reality and imagination. Gov has presented his work in numerous institutions worldwide and has been part of the curatorial teams of documenta 14, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, and the Fondazione Adolfo Pini. He has been an artist-in-residence at the Cité internationale des arts and the Nordic Artists' Centre, and was awarded the UTOPIA Special Prize as part of the 2023 Talent Prize in Rome.

U.K. \ IRAQ​

​

Artist based in Leeds. Her practice is informed by inherited nostalgia, geographical identity and post-colonial museum practices of collecting and displaying objects. Focusing on the ancient mythologies from the Middle East alongside personal oral histories of Iraq, Alrai weaves together narratives by forging artefacts and visualising residues of cultural collision. Often working at a large scale, Alrai mainly creates sculptural installations that recall the mode of museological displays and diorama. They contain elements which are broken or unfinished, and hover between the formal polish of an imperial museum, archaeological digs or the residues of a performance. Drawing references from objects in museum collections, ancient writing from the Middle East and cultural memories, her work questions the value and origins of artefacts, as well as navigating the experience of diaspora.

The Ceresoli Cosco duo was born in 2018 from the meeting of the artist and curator Alberto Ceresoli (Bergamo, 1989) and the artist Carmela Cosco (Catanzaro, 1989). Cosco's research is based on the theme of coexistence between man and nature and on the concept of belonging. Deepening its studies on the theory of the environment and animal environments, the duo questions the relationship between the existence and environment, with related existential and moral values. The duo's practice is defined through the experimentation with language ​​and disciplinary transversality, exploring the concept of wound by addressing it with an autobiographical approach and / or activating territorial investigations, entering contexts to bring to the surface objects of critical debate on the theme of collective wound. The duo lives and works in Bergamo and is engaged in international research projects.
