Madeleine Aguilar is an artist and musician based in Chicago. Using the archive as form, she acknowledges the passing of time by cataloging lived spaces, collected objects, familial histories, personal relationships, natural phenomena, mundane routines, and ephemeral moments. She received her MFA from the School of the Art Institute of Chicago and is currently the Print & New Media Studio Manager at Ox-Bow School of Art and Artists’ Residency
Margaret (Maggie) Cleary is a 2nd year sculpture graduate student at The School of the Art Institute of Chicago. Her practice explores memory, intuition, and mediumship through object/costume making, set building, and sound/vocal performance. Her current questions are: Is memory a space between time? Can I make a field of dreams? And if I build it, will they actually come?
Donny Mahlmeister is an Oak Park based musician and designer with a focus on improvised music using modular synthesizers, guitar, lap steel and other electronic processing.

Zander Raymond is an interdisciplinary artist and musician working in Chicago, IL. In his visual work, he improvises with found materials, tools, and images to make drawings, prints, and sculptures that question the idea of productivity in a studio environment and serve as an autobiographical record of experience. His music is similarly rooted in improvisation, utilizing modular synthesizers and open-source sound computers to sample, warp, and build sonic images that embrace non-linear approaches to composition. Past Projects have been hosted by Okay Gallery (Chicago, IL), Gummies Gallery (Chicago, IL), Mayfield (Forest Park, IL) among others. He holds a BFA in studio from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago
