Matt Taber (b. 1989, Weymouth, MA, USA) is an artist and curator and the co-founder of International Objects and International Waters galleries. Taber’s artwork deconstructs architectural systems through installation, video, sculpture, and painting. His curatorial practice is engaged in a discursive survey of contemporary material culture. Taber received his MFA from Columbia University. He also attended the Skowhegan School of Painting and Sculpture and the School of the Art Institute of Chicago.

Nate Heiges (b. 1981, Shakopee, MN, USA) is an artist, curator, and co-founder of the gallery International Objects. Since 2021, he hosts The Selection Committee, a music-interview radio show broadcast live on Newtown Radio and available on Spotify. Themes of language, mores, manners, and the enmeshment of the body in the physical world are central to his work, and he is fascinated by the insinuation of the religious impulse into science and secular culture. His curatorial practice has focused on the relationships between artistic production, the formation of sensibilities, and domestic spaces. Heiges received his MFA from Yale University.
