Sophie Krier
Sophie Krier was born in 1976 in Halle, Belgium and has the Luxemburgish nationality . She lives and works in Rotterdam since her graduation from the Design Academy Eindhoven in 1999. Her work field is situated in the periphery of the design profession and includes activities such as teaching, writing, collecting, editing, experimenting. Her work is process-oriented and always attempts to investigate the space (for innovation, playfulness, reflection) within a given assignment. The work is therefore often described as editorial. At the core of each concept is the wish to generate meaningful relationships between message, context, and receivers.

My work is an investigation of identity. For two years I have maintained that: There is no identity, there is only history. Meanings are not fixed, but are arrived at in relation to, or as a product of context.
iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter
iwishicoulddescribeittoyoubetter is an archive of possibilities. Less a collective, design studio or fixed group, but the place of perchance running into one another, where encounters are created and some relationships last, others to which we wave warmly in retrospect. The projects, blog entries and works presented at left have become what may be an idealistic cloud of tags and labels that have in previous manifestations been difficult to categorise, name and place. The ambivalence as such is noted and taken, yet please take that as possibility -yes, possibility- to wander, link through, come back and find threads between the works, ideas and people... as we have.
Trevor Paglen
Trevor Paglen is an artist, writer, and experimental geographer working out of the Department of Geography at the University of California, Berkeley.

From the very beginning of my art practice I decided to frame it in the structure of four circles. It had a marked and clear beginning and it will have a marked and clear end, as a narrative. Once I have fulfilled those four circles I will have finished my project and consequently I will abandon art practice. Each of these circles is a well-defined project, independent from the rest and, in turn, has shared commonalities that establish contact points among them. The idea is that every of my works can be always related to other works in a wider context (the circle), which can be considered an autonomous work as well.

Delphine bedel
Delphine Bedel deals with the changes that occur in a city through tourism, urban development and planning, from shopping malls to schemes of entertainment. The artist's idea behind her approach are the ways, is how space defined as public can become a site of personal experience again. The theoretical roots of her investigations are located among others in Norman Klein's discourse of the "Scripted Spaces", Lieven de Cauter's writings on the "Archaeology of the Kick" and his analysis of the panorama in entertainment culture, or John Urry's investigation on the "Tourist Gaze".
