Emmo is dual-trained in oil painting and physics, with nearly fifteen years of experience as a multidisciplinary art fabricator and woodworker. His fabrication work has been seen in Red Bull Arts New York, Marlborough Gallery London, Cleveland Museum of Art, and has toured internationally. His painting combines an extra-temporal figural practice informed by quantum mechanics with a deep grounding in chaos magic and pagan spiritual practices. In wood, Emmo's aesthetics draw from a desire to sustainably reinterpret often-overlooked materials, combined with Art Nouveau and Modern elements and paying homage to his upbringing in the American West. He is the founding Director of The Ritual Division. @studioemmo
Taylor Black is a multidisciplinary arts worker, writer, and curator. Taylor is currently Communications and Digital Content Manager at Independent Curators International (ICI) and a Ph.D. candidate in Performance Studies at Tisch School of the Arts, NYU. Previously, Taylor was Associate Editor at the Brooklyn Museum, where they led numerous website editorial projects and collaborated on exhibitions including Guadalupe Maravilla: Tierra Blanca Joven, Modern Gothic: The Inventive Furniture of Kimbel and Cabus, 1863–82, and Lorraine O'Grady: Both/And. Taylor's academic work applies the principles of performance theory to social media platforms and considers the role of fabrication—making things and making things up—across artistic and digital media contexts. As a former theatrical scenographer, Taylor is explicitly interested in how things are made and the ways that labor and collaborative action informs artistic acts of world-making. @taylorcblack
Foxie Lou's work delves into the tension between humanity's primal sexuality and the societal pressure to uphold religious spiritual values which often promote purity and godliness. Their art challenges this dichotomy, inviting viewers to see these elements as interconnected, and to ultimately seek holiness within ourselves. Each piece begins with liturgical research and critical inquiry—drawn from experience as the child of clergy in Judaism, where questioning rules and traditions is encouraged—and through this process, gives rise to new deities and characters that dance and play in the inherent contradictions of faith. Currently, Fox works primarily in woodcarving, bronze-casting, and pen-and-ink, using traditional techniques to input a playful sarcasm into objects that, at first glance, resemble religious artifacts that offer prayers to the flesh and rituals for our inner gods. @artoffoxielou
