About Ketna Patel: Ketna Patel is a highly prolific British-Indian multimedia artist, best known for her extrapolations of street and popular Asian culture. Having lived in East Africa, London, Singapore and India in equal amounts, she describes herself as happily culturally diverse, yet deeply grounded in an evolving Asian culture. Hailing from a Design and Architectural background, she deliberately blurs the line between Art and Utility by mapping her observations onto almost any surface imaginable.
About Ulrich Von Wrochem: Currently based in Hanover, Ulrich von Wochen grew up in Berlin where he studied violin and viola for many years. His career began in the mid 60s when he held the position of the principal viola player with the Berlin State Opera, the Bavarian Radio and La Scala. For several years after that, he worked freelance and played with American Grammy award-winning opera singer and recitalist, Jessye Norman, in many international festivals, and recorded viola songs from the Brahms Concerts for Philips. Today he gives master classes all over the world, including in Singapore. Danilo Von Wrochem-Prelevic, Ulrichs 8-year-old son, is currently a singer in the Hannover Boys choir and an avid violinist.
