Stephanie Yue Duhem (or Steff) is an Austin-based poet, essayist, and occultist. Some time after being born in Szechuan, China, and immigrating to the United States, she graduated from UT Austin’s New Writers Project MFA. She is the author of CATACLYSM MOVES ME I REGRET TO SAY (House of Vlad, 2025), a poetry collection that confronts the large and small cataclysms that make up a life—from the tumult of immigration to the awkwardness of social foibles, the pandemic to the technological singularity, the anguish of lost love to the demands of art. She is an Associate Editor at Hobart Pulp and runs an advice column called "Ask a Moon.” Steff also co-hosts and curates a quarterly reading/performance series called VIRS in Austin, TX.

Laurie Lambrecht is a visual artist working in photography and fiber, merging observation of the natural world with tactile, handworked processes. Her photographs are held in the collections of the National Gallery of Art, the Center for Creative Photography, and the Parrish Art Museum, and she has presented solo exhibitions in the United States and abroad. Residencies include the American Academy in Rome, the Watermill Center, the Rauschenberg Residency, and KH Messen, Norway. In the early 1990s she served as administrative assistant to Roy Lichtenstein while photographing the artist and his studio, later published as Roy Lichtenstein in His Studio (Monacelli Press, 2011). She has collaborated with theatre artist Robert Wilson at the Watermill Center and photographed a documentary project for the Rauschenberg Foundation in Captiva, Florida. Lambrecht has created site-specific outdoor installations at the Madoo Garden Conservancy, the Watermill Center, and the Nassau County Museum of Art, and is the recipient of a 2023 NYSCA project grant. Her monograph Texere will be published by Radius Books in 2026. She lives in and works in her hometown, Bridgehampton, NY.

Maren Karlson lives and works between Berlin and Los Angeles, where she thinks through inconsistencies (holes) within systems of control, tracing their material residue throughout her environment. What is the relationship of these systems to their remnants? What remains invisible, what leaves a trace?

She has studied at Universität der Künste Berlin, at The Cooper Union School of Art, New York, and at the University of California, Los Angeles. Her work has been shown across Europe and the United States. Upcoming one person exhibitions include Emmelines, New York City, and Soft Opening, London.
