About the Artists

Ario Elami is a Hudson-based artist, a graduate of the School of the Museum of Fine Arts graduate program through Tufts University, and a composer and author, with dual citizenship as an Iranian and North American and has lived among Michigan, Maine, Vermont, and Massachusetts.

John Brendan Guinan is an interdisciplinary artist based in Brooklyn, NY, whose work spans sculpture, installation, film, performance, and painting. Central to his practice is the reconfiguration of materials into new forms. The artist's visual and conceptual language is shaped by Catholic ritual, religious iconography, mythology, literature, cinema, fashion, and the occult. Raised in a tradition rooted in anarchism, pacifism, and anti-establishmentism, Guinan’s early life continues to inform the core of his work.

He has exhibited at Sotheby’s, O’Flaherty’s, LatchKey Gallery, Bristol Art Museum, The Wassaic Project, Galerie Biesenbach, Field Projects, NYU, and American University’s Katzen Arts Center, among others. Guinan was the 2024 recipient of the Emily Mason & Wolf Kahn Fellowship in support of his residency at the Vermont Studio Center. In 2018, he was the subject of Why I Paint, a documentary produced by Academy and Emmy Award-winning Fine Films. The artist's debut film, Salvation Machine: A Mass of Abwoon Dominus, premieres at Roxy Cinema in New York this summer and will screen at Gridley Chapel during Upstate Art Weekend, followed by a six-week run at Queensway Television in Singapore in the fall.

Jack Arthur Wood Jr. is a visual artist, writer, curator, and educator based in Ridgewood, Queens. Wood studied at Guilford College, in Greensboro, NC, receiving a BA in printmaking in 2012, and earned an MFA in printmaking from Texas A&M University-Corpus Christi in 2017. Wood received a New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting in 2024. He has been a resident at The Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, The Wassaic Project, The Jentel Foundation, Little Bear Hill, and Tiger Lily Press. Wood has had solo/two-person presentations at Rachel Uffner Gallery, New York, NY; My Pet Ram New York NY; Conduit Gallery, Ridgewood, NY; Paradice Palase, Brooklyn, NY; Not Gallery, Austin TX; The Weil Gallery, Corpus Christi, TX; Hudson Jones Gallery, Cincinnati, OH; The Bakery, Vancouver, BC; and The Clay Street Press, Cincinnati, OH. His work has been exhibited, at Chart, New York, NY; Geary Contemporary, Millerton, NY; Soloway Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; 5-50 Gallery, Queens, NY; Green House Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Field of Play Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Ortega Y Gasset Project Brooklyn, NY; O'Flaherty's, New York, NY; The Ekru Project, Kansas City, MO; No Place Gallery, Columbus, OH; Heaven Gallery, Chicago, IL; Pause OFF Gallery, Milford, OH; Flatbed Press, Austin, TX, and Deanna Evans Projects, Brooklyn, NY. Wood has recently curated exhibitions at Thomas VanDyke Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; Soloway Gallery, Brooklyn, NY; and Sweet Lorraine Gallery, Brooklyn, NY. He currently teaches at Montclair State University, in New Jersey. 

Originally from South Korea, Eunhae Yoo (she/her) immigrated to California as a pre-teen. Yoo received her BFA from UCLA and is currently based in Brooklyn, N.Y. She is a multi-disciplinary, conceptual artist working in various mediums — as a part of her process-based practice –— and her works merge technology, craft, personal narratives, and identity politics.
