Carol Bove

Bove's silkscreen print is based on a string drawing, and is printed using saffron. The artist feels that string drawings offer an interesting parallel with instruction-based conceptual artworks of the 1960s-even though they come from a very different, and craft-based, tradition. Carol Bove is based in New York.

Peter Coffin

The silkscreen print by Coffin is related to a series of sculptures by the artist, entitled Sculpture Silhouette Props, which recreate icons of sculptural history as two-dimensional cut-outs. Coffin says that the silhouettes ‘represent a static memory-all of sculpture in one mass.' Peter Coffin is based in New York.

Ryan Gander

Gander's works often create fictional histories, and his print is a photograph of a watercolour illustration by Mark Beesley-one that portrays the ICA's artistic director, Ekow Eshun, carrying an abacus and a torch in the basement of the organisation. Ryan Gander is based in London.

Judith Hopf

Hopf has worked in a wide range of media, offering an absurdist-and ultimately utopian-exploration of artistic forms and everyday conventions. Her silkscreen print was inspired by the work of Bridget Riley, whose style is here unexpectedly used to depict a nose. Judith Hopf is based in Berlin.

Rosalind Nashashibi

Nashashibi is best known for her film works, but has also made a number of collages, and her mixed media print is based on one such work. The artist says that the piece "is a sort of wish or fantasy self-portrait and simultaneously a portrait of a friend." Rosalind Nashashibi is based in London.

Tomas Saraceno

In 2006, in a commission for the Barbican Centre, London, Saraceno travelled to the world's largest salt lake, Salar de Uyuni in Bolivia. The artist's photograph captures a sensation that is created in this extreme environment: that of immersion in the clouds. Tomas Saraceno is based in Frankfurt am Main.
