Sandie Brischler (born 1978 in Paris), visual artist. Studied in Paris theatre, litterature and art. 2002 : Master degree and thesis about the link between art and desease, writing and unconscious (La Sorbonne, Paris)

I´m interested in the field of art-therapie, creative writing, but also in all form of creativity using any medium of self-expre- ssion (visual expression, language, sound, body…) in the meaning of a research into the unknown of ourself, disco- vering our limits as our real creative power. That´s also why I´m for an opening of the borders into the different arts practice.

In the frame of an European program, I collaborate and work now for the art aspects art society in Berlin. Our goal is to develop some artistics projects throught Europe, like innovati- ve art workshops, creative cooperation and helpful perspectives with European partners, to give a new energy on the cultural scene, and for the enrichment of the artistic experience between the people.

Robyn Taylor (b.1986, England). BA in Documentary Photography from the University of Wales, UK. Having recently graduated, I am currently staying in Berlin as part of the Leonardo da Vinci programme. This has allowed me to spend 3months in the city studying the language and gaining valuable work experience. I will be working at art aspects for the next 9 weeks helping to develop connections with Europe and more specifically the UK, whilst learning the importance of combining the cultural, educational and artistic elements of a European society. I also hope that during my stay here I am able to contribute my own ideas and experience to this vibrant working environment.

My interest in photography focuses itself largely on the domestic and familial realms, in particular the work of twentieth century American photographers and it is from this specific area of aesthetic that my appreciation of art house cinema has developed. Outside of the arts I also enjoy reading, walking cooking, live music and just about anything that involves a new cultural experience.
