Ari Benjamin Meyers was born in 1972 in New York. He lives and works in Berlin.
Ari Benjamin Meyers’ work explores structures and processes that redefine the performative, social, and ephemeral nature of music. His compositions and performances seek to challenge the relationship between performer and audience.
Trained as a composer and conductor at The Juilliard School, Yale University, and The Peabody Institute at Johns Hopkins University, Meyers became more widely known in the context of the visual and performative arts in 2007 as musical director and conductor of the group exhibition Il Tempo del Postino (Manchester International Festival, 2007, and Art Basel, 2009).
Selected projects and solo exhibitions include: Kunsthalle for Music, Witte de With, Rotterdam (2018); Changing of the Guard, Schauspielhaus Bochum (2018); Symphony 80 (with the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra), Lenbachhaus, Munich (2017), An exposition, not an exhibition, Spring Workshop, Hong Kong (2017), Who’s Afraid of Sol La Ti? (Invention I), Hamburger Bahnhof, Berlin (2016), Symphony X (Installation Version), KW Institute for Contemporary Art, Berlin (2015), Untitled for Choir (Beating Time), Martin-Gropius-Bau, Berlin (2015), New Initiative for Europe, Akademie der Künste, Berlin (2014), Chamber Music (Vestibule), Berlinische Galerie, Berlin (2013-2014).

Manon Parent is a dancer, musician, composer, and choreographer based in Berlin. After studying contemporary dance and classical violin at Conservatoire national supérieur de musique et de danse de Paris (CNSM), she began to deal with the issue of the relationship between sound and movement. The potential of the dialogue between art forms is for her a priority and a primordial source of interest, thus she works with very different dance styles and musical forms of expression. Parent currently collaborates with artists such as Ioannis Mandafounis, Sergiu Matis, Kareth Schaffer, Alma Toaspern, Ari Benjamin Meyers, Margot Dorléans, Roni Katz, Laurent Durupt, Jean P'ark, and Anders Christophersen.
