Katie Goodwin is a fine artist who mainly works in moving image. She recently completed a Masters of Fine Art at Wimbledon College of Art and currently is exhibiting in New Contemporaries at the ICA in London. She has lived most of her adult life in London, UK and Sydney, Australia, but loves living in Newcastle, because not only is it really affordable and easy to get around by bicycle, it’s got a bit of everything - great markets, architecture, beaches, culture, and also the local Geordies are just so friendly.

My work focuses on portraiture and intimacy between loved ones and objects. I want to show the tenderness that can be experienced in this world through selective simplicity and tiny details. With our current socio-political cliamte, I think it is important to recognize these often unnoticed moments in our daily lives, and to remember that they exist. My paintings help me move forward openly, by presenting what is good in our world. I'm also part owner of Pilgrim Paper Co. -- a paper goods company based in Seattle, where I currently live!

Alnis Stakle is a photography-based artist from Daugavpils, Latvia. He holds PhD in art education from Daugavpils University. Besides being artist, he teaches photojournalism and creative photography at Daugavpils University and Riga Stradins University. Since 2011 year he works on a project “Not Even Something” that is a research on the interstices in the city environment. Even though these interstices cover small territories, they are always intended for traversing rather than staying. No one wishes to linger there, because they are an intermediate between home and work, between one living space and another. These spaces are located between the meaningful and the meaningful, and themselves remain in the field of the insignificant and inessential. These are the places where we feel no desire to be in just like that, because with their aura of insignificance they not only make us feel as outsiders, but even “push” us away.
