Christine Rebhuhn earned an MFA from Cranbrook Academy of Art in 2015 and a BA from Kalamazoo College in 2011. Her work considers the way that objects overlap, stretching a line of visual connection across disparate things. She brings together found, handcrafted and industrially fabricated objects that come from mundane American life, lifted away from their place in the periphery. She recently participated in programs at the New York Art Residency and Studios (NARS), Makeshift Studio Residency, and the Vermont Studio Center. Her work has been exhibited at inCube Arts in New York, New York, and at the 2015 Gyeonggi International Ceramic Biennale in Incheon, Korea.

During her residency at Elsewhere, Rebhuhn created Knock Wood.

anique vered is an artist-researcher working across affect theory, process philosophy, alter-economies and social practice. Aside from an ever-present penchant to a wild openness (yes, you are welcome to read that as an invitation for riotous yet sensitive conversation), she is currently interested in new social and economic forms and organizational gestures based on post-structuralist, queer and decolonial ethics of care. Originally from Australia, anique is based at SenseLab, Concordia University in Montreal, and also works with The School of Making Thinking (SMT). Recent projects include: the social intervention ‘Ruptures and bending continuums : learning from the underside’ at the Deathbeds symposium; curatorial consulting for ‘Moving Memory: Difficult Histories in Dialogue’ at The Center for Curating and Public Scholarship; co-curating/ co-producing SMT’s ‘Words & [ ] – a Durational Conference of Art and Thought’ which also featured some of anique’s social practice; and the performative paper ‘(In)equal relations: a reconnaissance towards an alter-economy of Understanding.'

During her residency at Elsewhere, vered created An Alter-Economy of Becoming Elsewhere.
