SASHA ERCOLE (b. 1998, Dallas, Texas) is an artist and researcher based in London. Her practice is formally constructed through photography and installation. She often works collaboratively across disciplines, exploring the relationship between power and visibility within infrastructural systems.

Ercole holds a BFA in Sculpture and Extended Media with an emphasis in Linguistic Studies from Virginia Commonwealth University (2016) and recently earned an MFA in Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London (2023), where she’s currently awarded the 2024 postgraduate fellowship in addition to her professional research position at The Perimeter, London.

KATIE SHANNON (b. Glasgow, UK) is a London-based artist working across drawing, installation, textiles, music and writing. Her work presents filmic framing and deferred timecoding which foreground friendship alliances, music cultures and evoke states of energetic melancholia, seeking to counter ennui with collaboration, shared intimacy and unrest.

Shannon was the subject of solo shows at Celine Gallery, Glasgow (2024) and Kunsthalle.Ost, Leipzig (2022). Recent projects include TLC23PEDESTRIANFETISHAGM, a collaborative performance at ASP Fair 8, Conway Hall, London (2023); The Artist Bar, research seminar and performance at the Horse Hospital, London (2023); Sicko fanart for Finlay Clark (2023); TLC23 collective action FET MIASMA MIS at Le Bourgeois, Catford (2023), Rebi programmed events at Cafe Oto (ongoing), and soundtracking and performance for Liquid Currency at Kunstverein Dortmund (2022). She co-runs record labels and gig series Domestic Exile, So Low and Rebi, performs with band Kübler-Ross, and has a radio residency on NTS radio. Shannon is graduating with an MFA Fine Art from Goldsmiths, University of London in 2024.

TLC23 is a London-based collective instigated by artists Keira Fox and Katie Shannon out of combined interest and research into mania, trauma states and unravelling female personas within film, writing and performance. This has led to collectivised events, their first in 2021 in London, which enact their research via performance, music, set dressing, site-specific happenings, curating and organising. TLC23 collaborates with fellow artists, musicians and makers, blurring the line between event and art space.

Recent projects and performances have taken place at ASP Fair, London (2023); Le Bourgeois Gallery, London (2023); Soda 2123, Vilnius (2022); Ormside Projects, London (2021).

YOUNG BOY DANCING GROUP was initiated in 2014 as a mercurial performance group with no initial name and an ongoing alternating cast. Since 2015, the group, based in Zurich, has been titled Young Boy Dancing Group. As Spike Magazine wrote: “Since making their debut as a performance group at Paris’s Club Silencio in 2014, eccentric tactics earning early viral fame have matured into immersive studies in physical intensity, sensuality, and extreme absurdity”.
