About the Artists:
Kelvin Atmadibrata (b.1988, Jakarta, Indonesia) recruits superpowers awakened by puberty and adolescent fantasy. Equipped by shōnen characters, kōhai hierarchy and macho ero-kawaii, he often personifies power and strength into partially canon and fan fiction antiheroes to contest the masculine meta and erotica in Southeast Asia. He works primarily with performances, often accompanied by and translated into drawings, mixed media collages and objects compiled as installations. Approached as bricolages, Kelvin translates narratives and recreates personifications based on RPGs (Role-playing video games) theories and pop mythologies. He currently studies and explores queer abstraction and minimalist erotica in his illustration of the mecha and transhumanist fantasy as well as image markings on skin as a continuation of his attraction to living sculptures, breathing mannequins and bodies as pedestals.
selina bonelli (UK/IT) - In exploring abandoned post conflict architecture through performance and sound, selina aims to develop an evidential trail of affective, sensorial and embodied witnessing of traumatic experiences from marginalised bodies & abandoned ruins. Thier work explores the weight and silence of the failed document in performance acts as a prosthesis to gestures that try and approximate an ethical sensitivity to what witnessing can be. They co-deliver SITE (a bi-monthly event that invites artists to come together to generate site responsive work in collaboration with others at locations of socio-historic, architectural, and ecological interest in rural areas across the UK and Europe), are an associate artist of ]performance s p a c e [ and a current PhD candidate at Ulster University.
