BIOS:
>>> MARCY PETIT (France,1990) is an intermedia artist currently living and working in London (U.K). She obtained an MA in Management of Contemporary Art at Leeds University and at Université Paris 8 after completing a BA and a MA in Visual Arts in Rennes (FR). Her works, inspirations and interests are extremely eclectic. Her works develop through a multidisciplinary practice: from videos, to photographs, performances, sound, or installations. Nourished by an extended investigation on relational art, her practice often explores performatic ways of intervention, both by using her body as a medium or recording her encounter with people, stories and territories in different formats. She has participated in several collective and solo exhibitions, and joined several festivals internationally since 2011.

>>> REBECCA TENNENBAUM lives and works in Philadelphia, where she is an active member of the local art and education community. There, she is also a member at Pink Noise Projects, an artist-run exhibition space, and teaches at Temple University and Drexel University.
Although her practice had initially a strong sculptoric component, during the pandemic she felt a need to return to a more immediate process. Since then, she’s been making drawings that are a humorous yet sincere exploration of the nature of the human experience: the continuous movement of thought and the processes of deliberation and choice. Her works evoke a sense of functionality while staying rooted in abstraction.
Recently, Rebecca has been reading about decision-making and other aspects of behavioral psychology. While at Zaratan, she will complete a series of drawing hopes to continue her research and complete a series of drawings about decision-making.
