Bios:
Corinna Ghaznavi is an independent curator and freelance writer. Since 1997 she has curated exhibitions across Canada and in the Netherlands. Her writing has been published in Canadian and European art magazines as well as in numerous exhibition catalogues. Ghaznavi has been the Artistic Director of the Fabulous Festival of Fringe Film since 2012.

Gareth Lichty is a visual artist working with large scale sculptural environments. He studied Fine Arts at York University in Toronto and Sculpture at Leeds University in England. He has exhibited internationally and nationally with exhibitions in Europe, New Zealand and Canada. Lichty has been a Director and the Chair of Programming for CAFKA (Contemporary Art Forum, Kitchener and Area) since 2005.

Kelly Jazvac works primarily in installation, sculpture and collage. Her abstract works explore possible connections between material quality, surface, consumerism, and desire. She received her BA from the University of Guelph in 2003 and her MFA from the University of Victoria in 2006. She has exhibited extensively in Canada, in shows including: STICKY at YYZ in Toronto and Dream Home, at Plug-In ICA, in Winnipeg, MB.

TH&B is the creative partnership of Simon Frank, Dave Hind, Ivan Jurakic and Tor Lukasik-Foss. Resuscitating the moniker of the defunct railway that once serviced the Toronto, Hamilton and Buffalo rail corridor from 1895-1987, the team develops projects that are responsive to site, context and history. Collaborating on all aspects of authorship and production TH&B examines the intersection of rural, urban and industrial environments.
