Ella Eßlinger
Ella Eßlinger is a trained architect with an independent and collaborative practice. She holds a B.A. from TU Munich and an M.Sc. from ETH Zurich. In 2023–24 she was part of the curatorial internship program at the Canadian Centre for Architecture (CCA). As a member of ZAS*, she taught a visiting studio at the Department of Architecture at ETH Zurich in 2024. Together with Clara Richard Gostynski she developed the editorial project Nachglühen / Afterglow, (vol.1, 2022; vol. 2, 2024; Zurich: women writing architecture publishing). Her work has been exhibited at gta exhibitions (2023) and Swiss Art Awards (finalist 2025) among others.
PAULINA NOLTE
Paulina Nolte studied at the Academy of Fine Art in Munich. Her work threads together a range of mediums, often ending in a performative piece. Her last solo show Persimone at Kunstpavillon in Munich was based on a soundpiece of hers, initially streamed by PlusX on Radio Cashmere in Berlin and then released on New York tape label Decontrol. In 2024 she exhibited with artist Manuela Gernedel in the two person show O/U at Galerie Françoise Heitsch. She has performed solo at Pool for SAA in Brooklyn, Kallio-Kuninkala in Helsinki, Blitz Club in Munich and for Ruine München at Lenbachhaus. She also performs collaboratively and in projects by fellow artists like Anna McCarthy at the Münchner Kammerspiele or with Rosanna Graf at Kunstmuseum Bochum.
VALENTINA TRIET
Valentina Triet works with the medium of video. In her practice she deals with questions of how forms (of movement, orientation, of landscapes, architecture, capital, cultural and societal production) come into being.
She completed her studies in Textual Sculpture under Heimo Zobernig at the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna. Triet has held solo exhibitions at institutions such as Kunsthalle Winterthur, Neuer Essener Kunstverein in Essen, Forde in Geneva, and Felix Gaudlitz in Vienna. Her work has also been featured in group exhibitions at Galerie Neu and Sweetwater in Berlin, Alienze in Vienna, The Wig in Berlin, mumok in Vienna.
