Leyla Majeri is a musician and visual artist, living in Montreal. Under the pseudonym Alphonse Raymond, she has done several small books, zines and newspapers. With silkscreening as her prefered technique, her work explores different methods in order to manipulate colours and geometry inside a world where which games and amusement are used to make imagination triumph. Her drawings, sculptures and performances have been noticed by the experimental art and music scene. Her work has been shown by the galleries Little Cakes (New York) and Hanna (Tokyo), as well as by the publishing houses Buenaventura Press (Californie) and Le Dernier Cri (France). She is currently trying to learn the language of plants.
Jacinthe Loranger lives in Montreal and works at the 100 Sided Die Studio Co-Op. She obtained a B.A. in visual arts at UQÀM in 2001. She has made many artists books and installations where silkscreening is explored in all its possibilities. In the past eight years, she has done many artist residencies in Canada and France, notably at Dernier Cri. She has just finished a 3-month residency at Imago Printmaking Studios (Moncton, NB) and presented a solo exhibition entitled "Pac-Man vs Agaguk" at Galerie Sans Nom (Moncton, NB), as well as at Ateliers Presse-Papier (Trois-Rivière, QC).
