Saya Woolfalk is a New York based artist who uses science fiction and fantasy to re-imagine the world in multiple dimensions. With the multi year projects No Place, The Empathics, and ChimaTEK, Woolfalk has created the world of the Empathics, a fictional race of women who are able to alter their genetic make-up and fuse with plants. With each body of work, Woolfalk continues to build the narrative of these women's lives, and questions the utopian possibilities of cultural hybridity.

She has exhibited at PS1/MoMA; Deitch Projects; Contemporary Art Museum, Houston; Contemporary Arts Center, Cincinnati; the Brooklyn Museum; Asian Art Museum, CA, Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago; the Studio Museum in Harlem; the Frist Center for the Visual Arts; The Yerba Buena Center; The Newark Museum; Third Streaming; MCA San Diego; MoCA Taipei; and Performa 09; has been written about in the New Yorker, Sculpture Magazine, Artforum, Artforum.com, ARTNews, The New York Times, Huffington Post and on Art21’s blog; and has also worked with Facebook and WeTransfer. Her first solo museum show The Empathics was on view at the Montclair Art Museum in the Fall of 2012. Her second solo museum exhibition ChimaTEK Life Products was on view at the Chrysler Museum of Art in the fall 2014. She recently completed a new video installation commission for the Seattle Art Museum, and is a recipient of a NYFA grant in Digital/Electronic Arts. She is represented by Leslie Tonkonow Artworks + Projects, NYC and teaches in the BFA and MFA programs at Parsons: The New School for Design.

Greyson Hong received her M.F.A. in film and video from Bard College (2014) and her B.F.A. in studio art from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (2007). She was born in Chicago, IL, and lives in New Haven, CT, where she teaches video at the Educational Center for the Arts and Gateway Community College. She also studied at the Summer Studio Program at Oxbow School of Art (2004), with a concentration in Glass and Sculpture, and the United States Naval Academy (2002), with a concentration in Chemistry and Mathematics. She is currently the Artist-in-Residence at Artspace New Haven.

Greyson Hong is a new media and performance artist whose work explores memory, loss, personal histories, narrative form, displacement, and the body. Her work pulls from personal experiences to contemplate the choreographies of space, trained bodies, and the way we use non-verbal language to communicate via sound, light, and gesture. Her recent work attempts to imagine impossible realities of the queer gendered body. In Costco Photo Repair, she hires Costco to digitally re-gender her childhood photographs. The center photo of each triptych presents the in-between stage, introducing a third space beyond the gender binary.
