jake moore is an artist that works at the intersections of material, text and vocality. moore considers her primary medium to be space; this expands the understanding of her artistic practice to include administrative projects and other acts of building capacity as a sculptural method—one that changes the form and volume of public space. She is currently a PhD candidate at McGill University.

Marc-Alexandre Reinhardt is a writer and multidisciplinary artist who works with sound, text, installation and performance. His research-based practice explores issues of secularization, historicity and collective agency. Currently, his work focuses on means of appropriating archaic artefacts in ways that reference and extend their initial meaning and purpose. He is also part of ACTION INDIRECTE, a collective that uses site-specific interventions to raise timely political issues in public spaces. His work has been exhibited and performed in Canada and the United States. He holds a PhD in Comparative Literature (Université de Montréal).
