Verena Mack x Pool Board Series
Verena Mack
Info: Verena Mack is an artist specializing in illustration and poster design, currently studying at the University of Art and Design in Offenbach am Main. Her work spans editorial illustration, animation and commercial projects, with recent clients including Der Spiegel, the Liebieghaus Skulpturensammlung, and Dr. Martens. This spring, she won the EU Commission’s poster competition Erste Wahl with her posters displayed in train stations across Germany to encourage young people to vote. Verena’s illustrations stand out for their bold shapes, vibrant colors, and playful imagery. Central themes in her work include intersectional queer feminism, critiques of capitalism and the Anthropocene, which she often presents with a humorous touch. In 2022, she was awarded the Young Book Design Award by the Stiftung Buchkunst for her diploma project, Nonbinary Future.

Signal The Moment I Disconnect
Tim Meakins
Info: Tim Meakins is an Artist and Designer based in Perth, Western Australia. Working across sculpture, painting, print, animation and publishing, he employs a visual grammar drawn from the history (and present) of computer graphics/operating systems and cartoons to create intensely energetic propositions around the ever-mutating forms, limits, plasticity, optical register and possibilities of digital and analogue states-of-being. Through processes of digital prototyping and industrial fabrication, he explores the human connection and physicality, examining how far the body can be pushed, stretched, and resculpted. These creative outcomes often appear as cartoonish manifestations of strength and power; bright characters in demonstrative poses, flexing and lifting heavy objects whilst referencing an array of cultural tropes, from remixed folklore and worldbuilding to fantasy and gym culture. Signal The Moment I Disconnect explores the intersection of technology and human connection to the natural world. The exhibition navigates this concept through reimagined symbols of nature and humanity, while challenging viewers with the contrasting use of materials and fabrication methods that signal the presence of technology. These works serve as figurative stepping stones, encouraging audiences to reflect on their personal relationship with the world around them.
