Arturo Hernández Alcázar (1978, Mexico City) - Hernández worked in the city of
Dordrecht for four weeks and opened his 'Dust Devil' shop. Although Dust Devil is a
critical project on contemporary financial, - and city structures it can also be can
be typified as a nonsense approach. Dust Devil's challenge is to deconstruct
economical shapes and standards. The project instantly reacts on the current world
crisis by providing new values to the symbols of money one the hand and dust on the
other. Hernandez' work was shown at the Istanbul Biennale, Sara Meltzer Gallery New
York and in a range of empty buildings in Mexico City in collaboration with met
GLMutante Collective and Archives in Process.

Gilberto Esparza (1975, Mexico City) studied Art at the University of Guanajuato in
Mexico, followed by a study at the Polytechnic University of Valencia.
His Urban Parasites - small robotic creatures made from recycled consumer goods,
which wander, climb, crawl and explore the marginal areas of the city - bring a
fresh, unexpected dimension to the city itself and to urban intervention in general.
His work was shown at Urban Play (curator Scott Burnham) in Amsterdam, Blip! At
Peru; Gallery Ocurrence in Montreal and Festival de Arte Electrónico VideoBrasil
