Stephen Reber is a sculptor currently teaching at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He received a BFA from Nazareth College of Rochester in 1980 and an MFA from the Maryland Institute College of Art in 1985. His sculptures examine prefabricated and imitative materials such as plywood, plastic laminate, and inflatable sporting goods that decode and reconfigure the everyday object. The architecturally deconstructed forms push viewers to the brink of recognition, imbuing them with just the right amount of familiarity, while still remaining evasive.

Daniel Guerrero Fernández is an artist and illustrator currently living in San José, Costa Rica. His work depicts brightly colored, saccharine scenes that brim with a continual expanse of carefree blobs, playful splotches and glistening daggers. Fernández’s illustrations have been featured in places such as VICE and an Anamanaguchi music video.
