// Karina Aguilera Skvirsky |
Karina Aguilera Skvirsky is a New York-based artist/photographer. She received her MFA from Indiana University in 1996. Since then, her work has been exhibited in galleries nationally including Art in General, the Urban Institute of Contemporary Art and SF Camerawork. She has participated in the Artist in the Marketplace Program at the Bronx Museum of Art and in a multi-media residency at the Banff Art Centre in Canada. She has worked as a curator and is currently teaching digital media at the International Center for Photography. "My experience of going to the South Bronx every Saturday to take computer classes, sparked the website I created for the cyberresidency. Longwood Ave. is an interactive website using the Longwood neighborhood as a focal point to create a faux tour site that links storefronts and people to other places on the web. The site explores how physical and virtual location become interchangeable on the web and how the South Bronx has evolved into a middle class, yet culturally hybird, American neighborhood." |

| // Jenna Spevack |
Jenna Spevack lives and works in New York City. Her work has recently been shown at Longwood Art Gallery @ Hostos (Bronx, NY), Art in General (NYC), Parlor Projects, (San Francisco), Panorama City (Zurich, Switzerland), HereArt (NYC), Bangs Street Gallery (Provincetown, MA), Artists (web) Space (NYC), Rotunda Gallery (Brooklyn, NY), White Columns (NYC), Arts Center of the Capital Region (Troy, NY) and Kagan Martos Gallery (NYC). She has been awarded residencies at Fundacion Valparaiso (SPAIN), The Blue Mountain Center (NY), The Longwood Arts Center (Bronx, NY), The MacDowell Colony (NH) and The Fine Arts Work Center (Provincetown, MA). Her
recent drawings and Longwood Cyber project use various arrangements
of sticks, stones and string to form barely balanced constructions temporarily
at rest or on the brink of action. Observations of imbalance, the impending
failure of the human way of life and its intersection with the natural
environment reflect on the sometimes solid, sometimes precarious balance
between matter, gravity, failure and success. |

| // Heng-Gil Han |
Han is an installation artist whose interactive site will allow the viewer to explore the difference between Eastern and Western conceptions of the self. He earned his M.F.A. from Hunter College, NY in 2000. He has exhibited in New York and Seoul, Korea. Divided Space Divided By Time is an experimental work investigating the relationship between time and space. Through the investigation, I have gained a small new potential insight that: Space could be the fundamental condition of knowledge and recognition (Erkenntnis) of an entity while time is the existential condition of the entity. The example I selected is a geometrical composition resembling Mondrian's painting in appearance. I divided the accumulated time of the composition, and the fragmented moments, in result, demonstrated our inability to recognize the composition that necessarily involves a certain amount of time to be. Of course, the composition seems to be impossible to exist without space. But we think it exists since we recognize it. In other words, an entity could well exist that doesn't fit the system of space through which we recognize the existence of things. Things we don't recognize might or might not exist, and things we truly recognize must be assumed to exist. Beside the linguistic machinery, time and space are our cognitive conditions in a bigger picture of how we gain a truth. My small experiment, Divided Space Divided By Time is hoped to be a close-up map of a tiny part of the land of truth. |
