Sean J Patrick Carney is a writer in Berkeley, California.

Nicolo Gentile is an artist working and living in Philadelphia, PA. He received his MFA from the Tyler School of Art and Architecture. His work is an investigation of Queer radicalism, presence, absence and ecstasy. From the gym to the showers, from the dancefloor to the bedroom, his work examines the physical conditions of relational identity and sexuality construction. Composed of leather, latex, iron and steel, his sculptures and installations slip between recognizable materials of kink, industry and sport to address the oscillating power dynamics of gender, masculinities and BDSM.

John Knight is a conceptual artist based in Missoula, MT. Knight holds a MFA in Visual Studies from Pacific Northwest College of Art, Portland, OR. His work is concerned with class identity and its intersection with design and architecture. Knight has presented solo exhibitions at the Holland Project, Reno, NV; Final Hot Desert, Salt Lake City, UT; Private Places and Muscle Beach, Portland; the American Institute of Thoughts and Feelings, Tucson, AZ; and Julius Caesar, Chicago, IL. Upcoming solo efforts include exhibitions at Window Mine, Reno; and BSMNT Gallery in Leipzig, Germany. Curatorial efforts include: Williamson | Knight and Cherry and Lucic, Portland; and THE PINK HOUSE (Jan. 19 1995) at Bad Reputation, Los Angeles, CA. Recent residencies include: the Carrizozo AIR program, Carrizozo, NM; and the New York Arts Practicum, New York City, NY. Knight works at the Missoula Art Museum as a Registrar, and serves on the board of directors for KALICO Art Center in Kalispell, MT.
