Jorge Otero-Pailos, born 1971, Spain; MIT, Ph.D 2002, is a theorist of contemporary preservation and architecture, whose research probes the boundaries between these two disciplines. He is the Founder and Director of Future Anterior, one of the preeminent scholarly journals of preservation history, theory and criticism.
Otero-Pailos teaches courses on the history and theory of preservation and architecture, which deal with architectural transformation, interpretation, and the history of Modernism in North and South America.
His projects on The Ethics of Dust have been shown in Manifesta 2008, Bolzano and in the Venice Biennial 2009.

Marjetica Potrč (b. 1953, Slovenia) received degrees in architecture (1978) and sculpture (1986, 1988) from the University of Ljubljana.
Potrc’s work inevitably points to the dangers of globalization, climate change and unsustainable urban growth. However, firmly imbued with an aesthetic of hope, it shows how rural living can offer a model for the future; a vibrant community that is both self-supporting and globally connected.
Her work has been featured in exhibitions throughout Europe and the Americas, including the Sao Paulo Biennial in Brazil (1996 and 2006); Skulptur. Projekte in Muenster, Germany (1997); The Structure of Survival at the Venice Biennial (2003); and FarSites at the San Diego Museum of Art, San Diego, CA (2005). She has had solo shows at the Guggenheim Museum in New York (2001); the Max Protetch Gallery, New York (2002, 2005 and 2008); the Nordenhake Gallery in Berlin (2003 and 2007); the PBICA in Lake Worth, Florida (2003); the MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge, Massachusetts (2004); the Portikus in Frankfurt/Main, Germany (2006); The Curve, Barbican Art Galleries in London (2007); Venice Biennial 2009.
"Finding an energy and a certain poetry in the architecture of the disenfranchised, Potrc creates an anti-monumental art that rethinks the concepts of publicity and privacy."

Gordon Matta-Clark (1943-1978) studied architecture at Cornell University but never practiced conventionally as a professional. Instead, he married the idea of art and architecture to develop his artistic process. In the early 1970s, Matta-Clark was interested in the idea of entropy, metamorphic gaps, and leftover/ambiguous space, what he called "Anarchitecture." He had come to see buildings, rooms, urban spaces, neighbourhoods, and places where people gather as situations in which his planned "interventions" could create something new.
After his death his influence in contemporary art increased especially since 1990.
In Ladonia Biennial Gordon Matta-Clark’s film Tree Dancing from 1971, is to be seen in a new context and in a new form: Tree Ghost Dancing

Joan Jonas was born in New York City in 1936. She is a pioneer of video and performance art and one of the most important female artists to emerge in the late 1960s and early 1970s. She began her career in New York City as a sculptor. By 1968 she moved into what was then leading edge territory: mixing performance with props and mediated images, situated outside in natural and/or industrial environments. She has developed her performance to be a combination of live performance, videowork, drawing, reading, sound, music, and installation. Today she has become one of the most well-known artists in the contemporary artworld.
She is exhibiting her work all over the world. She participated in Documenta 2002, São Paulo and Sydney Biennials and Yokohama Triennial in 2008, Venice Biennial in 2009.
