Philemon Mukarno is a performance artist from Rotterdam. His work integrates music, body, and technology into physical rituals of sound. During his performances, he explores the boundary between body and expression, in a live composition that continuously evolves.

Frans van Lent is a concept-driven artist, born in Rotterdam, who lives and works between Dordrecht and France. A dominant aspect of his work is the symmetry in time: a beginning and an end. A process begins with nothing and ends with nothing again. An activity takes place, an image is created, and it subsequently disappears again.

Vanita & Johanna Monk from Rotterdam, made and performed art, music and literature together for 35 years until Vanita's death in 2024. Johanna now continues this collaboration beyond the boundary of life, her practice existing on a continuum from past to future, between estate curation and new works rooted in a personal mythology of love, trauma, healing, violence, transformation, lust, enlightenment and death.

The Austrian pianist Elisabeth Harnik is considered ‘one of a kind’ on her instrument: as an improviser, she moves within an electroacoustically inspired sound world, in which she explores the boundaries of the piano through preparations and advanced techniques. Her playing is characterized by a combination of physical expression and introspection, intuition and precision, and has led to numerous concerts and collaborations with leading musicians in the contemporary jazz and improvisation scene.
Jaap Blonk from Arnhem is a vocalist, composer, poet, and visual artist who, after studying mathematics and musicology, discovered the power and flexibility of his voice in the early 1980s and has since conducted intensive research into phonetics and the possibilities of the human voice. He developed into a unique vocal improviser with a strong stage presence, performing worldwide and achieving, just as with his voice, great flexibility with live electronics.
