This is the third Hidden Art Project , the last ones were taking place in the nature along Göta Canal in the County of Östergötland in Sweden during summer 2011 and summer 2014. These exhibitions were a tribute to the old trees along the canal, the longest tree alley in the world. They are menaced by environmental pollution, some of the trees are dying , and have to be replaced by new trees. Organized by the artist group Meteor and curated by Tamara de Laval.

Yaron Michael Hakim

I make objects and spaces that teeter between sculpture and painting, life and art, the functional and non-functional. Through the filtering of forms, imagery, and practices I have absorbed throughout my peripatetic life I create artifact-like objects that hold personal meaning. I am excited when I can create a work that is neither here nor there, something familiar and simultaneously unfamiliar. This in-betweenness or displacement in my work is a reflection of my own deep feelings of placelessness in my search for belonging.

Inder Salim, Out of Focus is Science. This is Ghost.

Inder Salim is an artist, poet, performance artist from Kashmir, based in Delhi. With rigour and commitment, Inder has performed for the last 25 years. In 2010, he organised Art Karawan, an international event that travelled through nine cities in the north of India , with 30 participants from India and abroad. Inder came up with the idea of working and developing new processes with artists and non-artists at this event..According to him, performance art is a potent, intuitive and yet highly evolved strategy that can be used to comprehend the chaotic, the unknown. It is contagious and subverts deeply held sediments of thought. How do we make sense of the act that makes a performance? What is the specificity of the relay of these acts? How do acts grow within the performer and around the performance?

These are some of the objects that have materialized from a performance (with Gerald Maa) at Greene Exhibitions on 5 June at Greene Exhibitions in Los Angeles. The cloth was originally part of a costume I made for the performance. It was altered during the performance so now I am going to use it for another piece.. see link for video from the performance at http://vimeo.com/99493064

She has a bachelor's degree from the University of Texas at Austin in studio art, specifically photography and video, with a minor in Spanish. Her work has been exhibited in Los Angeles, New York and Europe.
