Since 2015, Sandoval runs The Institute for Endotic Research, which opened as a venue in 2018.

Rubén D’hers is a Venezuelan artist based in Berlin. Moving across music, sound installation, and painting he examines stationary sounds from the domestic environment, both trying to unveil their potential as found musical material and investigating how they can appeal to our involuntary auditory imagery. He holds an MFA in Sound Studies from the Berlin University of Arts, a BFA in Media Art & Design from the Bauhaus University Weimar, and in Painting from the Cristóbal Rojas Technical School of Visual Arts in Venezuela.

Sergio Zevallos is a multidisciplinary artist living and working between Lima and Berlin. He was co-founder of Grupo Chaclacayo, a collective of the 1980s that dealt with the intersection of religion, gender, and armed conflicts. In 1989 the group migrated to Germany until it dissolved in 1994. Zevallos works on issues of transcultural identity, gender, and the relationship between the individual and power, or between intimacy and the codes of institutionality. A basic concept for his work is the hybrid, both in the organic and sexual sense, as well as in the theoretical and conceptual. He mostly uses images and texts of public circulation, press, popular magazines or educational books for installations, photographs, drawings, performances, and sound compositions.
