Edurne Arizu (Barcelona, 1978) is an interdisciplinary artist: accordionist, composer, music producer, and performance and audiovisual creator. Her practice moves between contemporary music, sonic traditions and artistic research, in dialogue with dance, theater and technology.

She has developed creation and mediation projects in Panamá, Perú and Costa Rica and Europe, collaborating with local communities through processes based on listening, cultural exchange and collective creation.

For over a decade, she has been creatively involved in projects across dance, circus, theatre, and physical theatre, working with artists, companies and top cultural institutions (CaixaForum, Mercat de les Flors and L’Auditori) as a performer, producer and composer of original music.

Edurne also develops her own projects exploring improvisation, composition and the relationship between music and technology. Presented at international contemporary music festivals such as NAK and LEM, her latest experimental project is Physis: a sound triptych for accordion and artificial intelligence that investigates human improvisation and creativity in dialogue with algorithmic systems, constructing a shared listening space between reality, machine, and body.

"Our work happens on the edges, pushes them, blurs them, questions them."

Lolo & Sosaku explore the possibilities of sculpture as an expanded field. The core of their work lies in the search for an object in contact with its surroundings and the spectator—an object that seeks friction and tension, exploring its capacity to generate new meanings.

Their practice moves across different artistic languages, including sculpture, installation, kinetic art, and painting, often incorporating music and sound. Their modus operandi is to establish themselves as a subject and, through their machinic materiality, reach transcendence, mysticism, and the unknown.
