Bea Vogel
“Trying to avoid your
inner artist“. Bea is originally
everything she likes to be. She is doing
so many things. From Mask Building for
Stage Artists over being a Marketing
Manager, creative Text writings or
Leather Arts or Garden plannings.
She is never stopping to see and wait
what is happening after Art. Just try
what is next. “If it´s you it´s
Art. If it´s Art it´s you. Whatever you
do is Art. Nothing is Art.” She was born
1966 in a small village near the swiss
border and she is seeing herself as a
real born Chaos Theory Child. Always a
Rebel at heart. If she starts to be
creative she is like a Vulcano. She
says: “Then every shit comes out. Some
of it is real hot. Some is destroying.
Some is fertile earth. But it´s all
relaxing to the Vulcano. And that´s what
it needs to be!” She is Addicted to any
breed of Grey Hounds and to Mousse of
Chocolat. She is always a beginner and a
professional at the same time because
she does everything in an unusual and
unique way. Unconditional.

Claudia Martínez Sánchez was born in the state of Puebla on 7 February 1976. She is an artist, journalist, human rights defender of journalists and defender of the indigenous people of Coyomeapan in Puebla.She lives and works in CDMX.
Manuela Johanna Covini
Covini (born in Germany, 1960) always saw work on art as fundamental work on knowledge. Since 2000, participation in exhibitions. Always on the side, because the production of explicitly artistic works was important to her, but not the motivation of her work. She worked a long time as TV journalist in Switzerland. Basically, Covini sees her artistic work as an irritating interaction that tells how life goes beyond its own subjective limits. The digital image, in particular, allows her to present those dimensions in her own visual vocabulary (as an aesthetically resilient material). She lives and works in Berlin and Mexico City.
