Peter Wheelwright

Peter Wheelwright is an architect, educator and writer who has collaborated with Laurie Simmons on a number of architecture and design projects over the course of their 50+ year friendship. Formerly the Chair of the School of Architecture at Parsons School of Design/The New School in New York City, his architecture work has been published widely in both the national and international press. Currently, he is a Professor Emeritus at Parsons/The New School as well as an award-winning novelist of Literary Fiction. His novel As It Is On Earth received a PEN/Hemingway Honorable Mention Award for Literary Excellence in Debut Fiction, and his novel The Door-Man was recognized by The New Yorker as “One of the Best Books of 2022.”

Judy Chicago

This project took Chicago’s inspiring banners ‘What If Women Ruled the World’, which were created in collaboration with Maria Grazia Chiuri for the Dior Spring Summer 2020 Haute Couture show, as its source for a new revolutionary participatory call-and-response.

Michelangelo Pistoletto

Michelangelo Pistoletto (b. 1933, Biella) is one of the most influential figures in postwar art and a foundational force in the development of Arte Povera. After his first solo exhibition in 1960 at Galleria Galatea in Turin, he created the seminal Mirror Paintings. In the 1990s he founded Cittadellarte – Fondazione Pistoletto and the University of Ideas, establishing a model for art’s active role in social transformation. His many honors include the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement (2003), the Wolf Prize (2007), and the Praemium Imperiale (2013). His recent work centers on Third Paradise, a symbol and philosophy for societal renewal, and in 2025 he was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize.

Josephine Meckseper

Josephine Meckseper, born in Germany, holds an MFA from CalArts, and lives and works in New York City. The artist is known for her large scale vitrine installations and films that have been exhibited in numerous international biennials and museum exhibitions worldwide. In her practice, which encompasses film, photography, painting and sculpture, Meckseper challenges the conventional meanings of familiar cultural imagery and the systems of circulation and display through which they acquire significance.

Ricci Albenda

Ricci Albenda is an American contemporary visual artist and sculptor. His sculptures harness traditional and idiosyncratic perspectival systems to represent bare architectural spaces that may be feasible, but are never real. His deep exploration of language and the written word has led him to develop his own fascinating system in which the alphabetical and numerical system are paired with the color wheel.

Sarah Meyohas

French-American conceptual artist Sarah Meyohas was one of the first artists to explore the intersection of emerging financial technology and art with her formative, feminist Bitchcoin project (2015). Working across multiple mediums including performance, film, photography, and AI, her work investigates how value is created and sustained in art and economics.

David Salle

Since the early 1980s, David Salle has created complex, searingly psychological paintings that juxtapose an array of images from art history, popular culture, and his own starkly lit photographs. An astute art critic, he is the author of How to See: Looking, Thinking and Talking about Art (2018).
