Ángeles Agrela (b. 1966, Úbeda, Spain) has resided in Naples, La Habana, and Berlin, and currently lives and works in Granada. Her recent works seek to conceptualize the role of women within the History of Art by creating a contemporary representative view. Following this theme, the key feature of her drawings becomes the hair, which has important cultural and historical connotations within representation of the feminine. She uses the symbolic charge and communicatory capacity of hair to create an exaggerated mass that often substitutes the face or hides it completely, as a playful way to divert attention away from the face and towards how women choose to represent themselves. Recent exhibitions include Ángeles Agrela, Nicodim, New York (solo, forthcoming); The Paradoxes of the Aura, CICA, Vancouver (2023, solo); Immaculate Heart of Margaritaville curated by Devendra Banhart, Nicodim, Los Angeles (2023); MATERNITY LEAVE: NONE OF WOMEN BORN, Nicodim in collaboration with the Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas (2023); Kiaf Seul, Yusto Giner Gallery (2023); Art Busan, Yusto Giner Gallery (2023); Art Chicago, Yusto Giner Gallery (2023), Art Basel Miami, Nicodim Gallery (2022); Le Regard, Perrotin Gallery, Dubai (2022); FAUNA, Anat Ebgi, Los Angeles (2022, solo); Facial Recognition, Fabien Fryns Fine Art, Dubai (2022); DISEMBODIED, Nicodim, Bucharest (2022); Summer Nights, Stems Gallery, Paris (2022); Around the world, WOAW Gallery, Hong Kong (2022); Fanzination, Galería Yusto/Giner, Madrid (2021, solo); Art021 Shanghai, Galería/Yusto Giner (2021, solo). Agrela is collected by CAC Málaga; Colección Banco de España; the National Library of Spain; the L´Oréal Collection; and many others.

Isabelle Albuquerque (b. 1981, Los Angeles) Isabelle Albuquerque’s formally powerful and psychologically charged sculpture invites multiple, simultaneous readings and perspectives. With a background in performance, Albuquerque uses her own body to investigate the protean nature of identity and to create a cross-temporal conversation that centers the experiences of women and their own connection to desire, sexuality and embodiment.  In her latest series of sculptures, Orgy for 10 People in One Body, Albuquerque marries ancient and contemporary technologies such as 3D scanning and robotic carving, rendered across multiple materials each with their own agency and complex history. These life size sculptures transition from bronze, wood, plaster, rubber, and wax to synthetic resins and human hair.  Empathetic, subversive, confrontational and steeped in cultural memory, these works are often caught in an intangible state of transformation that speaks to the dynamics of sexuality, violence and power throughout human history and to our present volatile moment - where the very idea of the human and the limits of the body are being confronted with unprecedented metamorphosis. 

Isabelle Albuquerque was born in 1981 in Los Angeles where she lives and works today. Albuquerque studied architecture and theater at Barnard College. As a founding member of the music and performance duo Hecuba, she released three albums between 2006 and 2012 and performed at San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, The Walker Art Center, Minneapolis and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. Recent sculptural exhibitions include MATERNITY LEAVE: NONE OF WOMEN BORN, Nicodim in collaboration with the Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas (2023); Orgy for 10 People in One Body, Jeffrey Deitch, New York (2022, solo); BodyLand, curated by Lauren Taschen, Max Hetzler, Berlin (2022); Skin in the Game, curated by Zoe Lukov, Chicago (2022) and South Beach, Miami (2021); The Emerald Tablet, Jeffrey Deitch, Los Angeles (2021); Nuestrxs Putxs, Human Resources, Los Angeles (2021).  Sextet, Albuquerque’s critically acclaimed first solo exhibition with Nicodim opened in September of 2020 with six  sculptures from Orgy for 10People in One Body.

Joshua Hagler (b. 1979, Mountain Home AFB, Idaho) is a first-generation graduate with a graphic design degree from The University of Arizona. A 2018 grant recipient of the Roswell Artist in Residence Program, Hagler has since made New Mexico his permanent home. Currently, he lives with his wife and daughter in the high desert village of Placitas at the foot of the Sandia Mountains. In recent years, his practice has been guided by an approach he calls Nihil, a set of nine self-imposed principles that have grown out of solitary excursions throughout the state. These principles determine all aspects of the work from its imagery and process, to the media and objects comprising it. Concept and meaning, as such, naturally unfold out of synchronistic experiences occurring over time. Recent exhibitions include: I Would Not Speak of the Mountain, Nicodim, Los Angeles (2023, solo); Togetherness, For Better or Worse, Green Family Art Founation, Dallas (2023); The Descendants, K11 Musea, Hong Kong (2023); MATERNITY LEAVE: NONE OF WOMEN BORN, Nicodim in collaboration with the Green Family Art Foundation, Dallas (2023); Joshua Hagler, Devin B.
