For over twenty years Patricia Johanson has patiently
insisted that art can help to heal the earth. For the last ten
years she has been creating large-scale projects that posit a
radical, yet utterly practical vision. She works with
engineers, city planners, scientists and citizens' groups to
create her art as functioning infrastructure for modern
cities.
Johanson's designs for sewers, parks, and other functional
projects not only speak to deep human needs for beauty,
culture, and historical memory. She also answers to the
needs of birds, insects, sh, animals, and microorganisms.
Her art reclaims degraded ecologies and creates conditions
that permit endangered species to thrive in the middle of
urban centers.... Using the structures of nature as a way of
thinking, she reconciles delicacy with strength, generosity
with power, and creativity with consequence.

Katja Gretzinger is a graphic designer living and working in
Berlin. She studied visual communication in Dsseldorf and
was from 2006-2008 research-fellow at the Jan van Eyck
Academie in Maastricht/NL. Her focus lies on content-
based projects and on the intertwining of theory and
practice. She initiated the research project "Thinking
Through Blind Spots" where she explores the relations of
(implicit) knowledge in and between design, art and theory

Paul Hendrikse is a visual artist who studied sculpture in
the Netherlands and nished a research period at the Jan
van Eyck Academy in Maastricht/NL. Hendrikses work
explores the interface between historiography and ction. In
his search for alternative information about historical events
he ignores the big stories in favour of individual
microhistories. In so doing he shows that he rejects the
possibility of presenting history in a simple, authoritarian
manner. His projects, often works pertaining to
performance, are usually the result of long-drawn-out and
detailed research. The result takes the form of
publications, installations and audiovisual work as well as
performances.
