Polish-born
artist Krzysztof Wodiczko is
best known for his powerful, large-scale projections on public
buildings and spaces, which he first developed in Toronto in
1980. Now he divides his time between New York and Boston, where
he heads the Interrogative Design Group at MIT's Center for Advanced
Visual Studies. His work has been extensively exhibited worldwide,
including New York, Washington, DC, Paris, London, Amsterdam,
Barcelona, Vienna and Warsaw, and it is represented in many museums
such as the Walker Art Center; the New Museum of Contemporary
Art and Jewish Museum in New York; and the National Galleries
of Canada and Poland. Architect Julian
Bonder, principal of Julian Bonder + Associates,
is an active contributor to American and international discourse
on memory, public space, public art, cultural trauma and monument
design, often working outside the traditional boundaries of architecture.
He has taught architecture at Syracuse, Roger Williams and Buenos
Aires Universities, and now serves as Hyde Chair and visiting
professor at the University of Nebraska.
