So Far Soda / Frank Plant
Frank Plant Frank Plant is a Barcelona based American sculptor. He studied sculpture at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia,
Pennsylvania. After finishing his B.A. in fine arts in 1993 he moved to Amsterdam and during this period he began to develop
his drawings in steel. These are simple and direct studies of the forms and compositions of everyday objects. Welded steel has
always been the principal medium for Plant’s work, whether in his two dimensional pieces such as his fingerprints series or his
earlier three dimensional kinetic metal sculptures, that incorporate found objects. In 1999 Plant moved to Barcelona and began
to diversify the materials he uses in his sculpture.
Photography and painted wooden backgrounds, light boxes, motors, sensors, sound and music have all become integral parts
of his sculptures. In investigating new ways of communicating with the viewer, interactivity continues to play an increasingly
central role in Plant’s work.

Diederick KraaijeveldDiederick Kraaijeveld was born in 1963 in The Hague, The Netherlands.
Diederick graduated at University of Leiden with a Major in Modern History. He became a professional newspaper journalist in
the early nineties after studying creative writing at the University of Texas. Kraaijeveld’s passion for investigating lead him to
become an award winning investigative reporter for the leading Dutch TV-channel RTL4.
On his own time he began to replicate 60’s muscle cars out of wood, giving away the masterpieces to his friends. He salvages
wood in dumpsters, abandoned factories, along faraway coasts, on city dumps and in derelict buildings all over the world.
He became so passionate about this work and decided to pursue his artistic career, full time. Diederick left his job and
renamed himself Oudhout, translating to “old wood.”

Derrick SantiniDerrick Santini (born in 1965) hails from Scarborough, North Yorkshire and discovered his love for photography at the age
of thirteen, taking pictures with his mum’s old Agfa camera. He studied at Harrogate College and at the London College
of Communication. Santini regards his images as slices of life, ‘moments in between’, as statements about the individual,
society, culture and ultimately as an expression of the human condition.
As an extension to his photography Santini creates lenticular lightboxes, works that are filmic, playful, sexy and provocative.
With the confluence of ideas between fashion, beauty, photography, art and film Santini has a large presence in the
contemporary art world.
