UNITY CANVAS organized by Nilda Mesa
300 artists respond to the World Trade Center disaster. The Unity
Canvas is an artist-to-artist, New York-based, collective response
to the tragedy of 9/11 and the times we live in. Artists submitted
12-inch squares of unstretched canvas, in any medium they chose
(e.g., paint, digital, embroidery). Word about the project spread
on the internet and through word of mouth. The pieces reflect
the artists' responses to 9/11 and all its horror, sadness, anger
and grief, as well as the times since. About 300 pieces have been
received so far from every region of the United States, as well
as all over the world. Some of the other countries represented
include Brazil, Canada, England, France, Germany, Japan, Malaysia
and Spain. The project has received fiscal sponsorship from the
New York Foundation of the Arts.

PARALLEL WORLD OF
SENSATION curated by Sung Soo Kim
Digital/video & computer artists address social identities,
informal mediums and events with Elizabeth Cohen, Heung-Ma-Kim,
Sung Soo Kim, Kristine Marx, Sherry Mayo, Leah Oates, Rachel Owens
The works in "Parallel World of Sensation" address
social identities, informal mediums, and events. Not only through
their physicality, but also through the overcoming of their own
physical limitations, the works exist in a state of flux between
virtuality and actuality (or-- between the virtual and the real).
The artists in this exhibition, intrigued by both process and
perception, have manifested their ideas in various new forms.
The artists move beyond simple definitions of art forms to investigate
the world. Formal means and value systems are presented not as
hierarchical, but in co-existence with one another. Although time
and site are important components in the pieces, the works reach
beyond the physicality of the space as they define a new situation
-- a world parallel to that of sensation.
