Elisabeth Hölzl is an Italian artist, sculptor and photographer who lives and works in Merano.
She studied art history in Innsbruck and then sculpture at the Academy of Fine Arts in Bologna. In the 1990s Elisabeth presented minimalist sculptures and installations to the public, later her work moved away from matter and turned to other media such as glass and light. In these works the focus is no longer on volumes, but on what makes them visible: light. In recent years, photography has become the artist's preferred medium of expression, and has accompanied his work from the beginning.
Russell Maltz is a conceptual sculptor, artist and photographer living and working in New York, USA.
Maltz creates work using a wide range of materials, from concrete cinder blocks, glass and clothespins to found wood panels, PVC pipes, paper and swimming pool; he collaborates with construction companies and enjoys photographing art-like industrial trash.
The artist paints the plywood panels in part monochrome and then assembles sculptural objects from them, with some parts visible and others hidden. Maltz also finds abandoned and unseen building materials, which he transforms into works of art with paint and minimal intervention.
