Having a diverse cultural background, his work combines a variety of influences and ideas. Russia is a country with a rich history of decorative, textiles and ornamental design, his work has come to juxtapose many of these traditional patterns and symbols with a contemporary subject matter based on photographic imagery. In this way, one can argue his paintings and drawings stand at a cultural and aesthetic crossroads. By combining the decorative and folk with the fine arts, the works serves to both raise questions about the manner in which these practices have been historically separated, as well as to comment on his own continuing process of cultural assimilation. Alex was a classmate of Hans’ at Pratt and received his BFA from Chelsea College of Art and Design, London, England. He has exhibited shows in Miami, New York, Tel Aviv, and London. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_01_figure_on_boat.jpg" width="670" height="502" width_o="864" height_o="648" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_01_figure_on_boat_o.jpg" data-mid="1086947" border="0" align="left"/> Figure on a Boat 2008 55"x74" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_02_painting2.jpg" width="670" height="477" width_o="900" height_o="641" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_02_painting2_o.jpg" data-mid="1086948" border="0" align="left"/> Painting 2 2007 41"x58.5" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_03_transmission.jpg" width="532" height="648" width_o="532" height_o="648" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_03_transmission_o.jpg" data-mid="1086949" border="0" align="left"/> Transmission 2009 15"x12" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_04_boys_next_door.jpg" width="670" height="581" width_o="864" height_o="750" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_04_boys_next_door_o.jpg" data-mid="1086951" border="0" align="left"/> Boys Next Door 2007 64"x73" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_05_family_tree.jpg" width="670" height="573" width_o="864" height_o="739" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_05_family_tree_o.jpg" data-mid="2133379" border="0" align="left"/> Untitled (Family Tree) 2008 63" x 72" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_06_cloud_1.jpg" width="670" height="534" width_o="865" height_o="690" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_06_cloud_1_o.jpg" data-mid="2133381" border="0" align="left"/> Impossible Cloud 9 2007 32" x 40" | Pen and Ink on Paper <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_07_magic_mountain_15.jpg" width="670" height="539" width_o="865" height_o="697" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_07_magic_mountain_15_o.jpg" data-mid="2133382" border="0" align="left"/> Magic Mountain 15 2007 32" x 40" | Pen and Ink on Paper <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_08_Lake-with-Branches.jpg" width="670" height="555" width_o="781" height_o="648" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_08_Lake-with-Branches_o.jpg" data-mid="2133383" border="0" align="left"/> Lake with Branches 2009 24" x 29" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_09_figure-climbing-a-hill.jpg" width="459" height="576" width_o="459" height_o="576" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_09_figure-climbing-a-hill_o.jpg" data-mid="2133384" border="0" align="left"/> Figure Climbing A Hill 2009 20" x 16" | Oil on Canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_10_3-Houses.jpg" width="670" height="522" width_o="750" height_o="585" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_10_3-Houses_o.jpg" data-mid="2133385" border="0" align="left"/> 3 Houses 2009 37" x 48" | Oil and ink on canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_11_Seven_Astro.jpg" width="670" height="740" width_o="670" height_o="740" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_11_Seven_Astro_o.jpg" data-mid="2275919" border="0" align="left"/> Seven Astronauts 2010 70" x 63" | Oil on canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_12_Cosmonaut.jpg" width="670" height="885" width_o="670" height_o="885" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_12_Cosmonaut_o.jpg" data-mid="2275921" border="0" align="left"/> Astronaut 3 2010 16" x 12" | Oil on canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_14_Monument.jpg" width="670" height="1013" width_o="670" height_o="1013" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_14_Monument_o.jpg" data-mid="2275925" border="0" align="left"/> The Monument 2 2010 70" x 63" | Oil on canvas <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_13_Cosmonaut.jpg" width="670" height="860" width_o="670" height_o="860" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/250696/Alex_Yudzon_13_Cosmonaut_o.jpg" data-mid="2275927" border="0" align="left"/> Cosmonaut 2010 22" x 18" | Oil on canvas BROOKLYN, NY Alex is originally from the former USSR, but now lives and works in Brooklyn, NY.

His workshop is an archive of vaguely identifiable fragments that, once he plots the instructions for their assembly, become small, unofficial mysteries. The relationship of part to part is always unexpected, but never forced. Every joining point seems the result of a logical connection He understands history's machinery, traced on skateboard maps of violence with bullet track threads of gunfire and assassinations. But he also fashions animals for minor carousels, dwarf flying ships dangling beneath newspaper balloons, prosthetic limbs for carnival fortune tellers, and saw blade frames around found crucifixions. Then he finds a dream of Emily Dickinson in a parachute dress, and outdoors, he lattices a tree with pruned branches for a fog trap. Every one of his battered, artful constructions is an instrument for decoding memories - both his and ours. - Stephen Vincent Kobasa Contributing Editor, Art New England CAPE COD Silas was born and raised on Cape Cod, poking around his father's Antique Shop in Brewster.

While most of us live in three dimensions (four if you count time), Lalvani lives in a genomic world of several hundred dimensions or more and has dedicated himself to sequencing the morphological genome. The of the twenty-first century represents the genomic era, an understanding that complexities of our world are generated from simple codes - DNA for example. In sequencing the morphological genome and sculpting works derived from such principles, Lalvani stands at the dawn of genomic art as Alberti did at the dawn of perspective painting and Picasso at the dawn of Cubism. The exhibition traces the evolution of Lalvani’s genomic art as filtered through two major series, AlgoRhythms and the Xurf, each exploring Lalvani’s principal concern with the relationship between genetic codes and sculptural creation, and more specifically, between “genomics”–sculpture derived from formal rules, and “epigenomics”–works created through external agents like forces, respectively. The title of the exhibition, 2point5D+ begins to reveal the fundamental creative process of Lalvani's sculpture. All begin with conceptually exploiting and transforming flat (2-dimensional) sheet metal into a 3-dimensional piece. Intrinsic to Lalvani’s creative process is the balance between 2d and 3d concepts at all times, many projected from higher dimensions; the final works are clearly 3-dimensional, yet constant interplay between physical 2d and 3d is central to the genesis of his sculpture. AlgoRhythms The AlgoRhythms series continues the longstanding artistic tradition of exploring the human condition, and in particular, the human relationship with nature, through high technology that brings us closer to nature. Representing a technology for the non-deformational forming of sheet metal using conic surfaces, the works reveal curvilinear forms derived from the same principles that create the flows of nature. Material flows according to morphologic laws that are closer to fluid motion than that of static objects; “AlgoRhythm” seeks to capture the flow, harmony and movement of these sculptures as well as the use of their generative procedures. Generated in higher dimensions using morphogenomics, the AlgoRhythm forms self-adjust according to their movements and are finally brought into metal by innovative laser and water-jet technology. Xurf While the AlgoRhythms series apply pure mathematics to surfaces, Xurf introduces force, thereby adding physics to mathematics. Rather than emerging from predetermined computations, forms emerge from controlled physical encounters, recalling the drop paintings of Jackson Pollock. Pieces become self-shaping and self stabilizing, as they find their own centers of gravity, generating curved surfaces untouched by human hands in most cases. Referencing the morphologist, D’Arcy Thompson, Form follows Force. About the Artist Dr. Haresh Lalvani is a tenured professor of Architecture at Pratt Institute where he has influenced generations of designers, artists and architects. Known worldwide for his morphological, structural, and design innovations, Lalvani holds a Ph.D. in Architecture from the University of Pennsylvania and has worked at NASA-Langley Research Center on space applications and at Computer Graphics Laboratory, NYIT, on computer-animations. He serves on the editorial board of Space Structures, (France), and is the author of two books, Transpolyhedra and Structures on Hyper-Structures. An award recipient from NYSTAR, the Graham Foundation for Advanced Studies in Fine Arts, the National Endowment for the Arts, and the National Institute for Architectural Education, Lalvani received the Pioneers' Award from the Space Structures Research Center, University of Surrey, U.K. in 2002. He was a speaker at TED2004, Monterey, California and will speak at TEDx Brooklyn 2010. From his playful and challenging Metapuzzles to his discovery of Hyper-Geodesic Structures for architecture, Lalvani continues to combine his love of art and mathematics in his search for the architectural genome and his efforts to generate new languages of art and design. Lalvani has had numerous solo exhibitions throughout North America and Europe including Morphogenomics (2004) at the Municipal Arts Society, New York; Aión: An Eventual Architecture (2003), at the first Prague Biennale; and was artist-in-residence (1992-2002) at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, New York. His group exhibitions have included IAAC Erasing Borders (2009), Aicon, New York and the Queens Museum of Art, New York; Siggraph (2008), Los Angeles; and BreakThroughs (2007), at the Liberty Science Center, New Jersey. His AlgoRhythm columns are in the permanent design collection of The Museum of Modern Art, New York, and were exhibited following their acquisition in 2004 and at the reopening of the Museum the same year. Lalvani continues to sculpt and to further the development of genomic art. He lives in New York City with his wife and son. About Core Formula / Core Curation Launched in February 2008, core.form-ula curates platforms, both physical and virtual, where architects, artists, designers, engineers, scientists, and writers can join in a collaborative space. core.form-ula's goal is to capture cultural content related to design, engineering, science, technology, and art organized into an on-line repository that can be accessed and disseminated quickly for consumption globally. Based in New York with contributors in Tokyo, Hong Kong, London, Rome, and Los Angles, it is a supplement to cultural education unbound by geographical or political alliances that have locked ideas in their respective institutions, and is freed by a series of social networks that allow a higher degree of fluidity. Currently, core.form-ula consists of 5 minor divisions; hard.core (hardware), soft.core (software), core.balance (new models of labor, material production, and sustainability), core.curation (art) and core.awareness (history, interviews, profiles and articles). Content is curated in each division, exposing readers to core cultural information. core.form-ula is co-directed by Ajmal Aqtash and Richard Sarrach.

Adrien is a photographer with an eye for the bizarre and beautiful. Her images often tell stories, exploring conversations and creating worlds that don’t quite exist in the usual way. Broom's cinematic approach to photography through a bizarre and beautiful lens results in illusions that play with reality and make the viewer believe anything is possible. Implying a plot, drama, depth of characters and situation in a single frame, her photographs teeter between reality and fantasy. <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_9515-Edit-Edit.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_9515-Edit-Edit_o.jpg" data-mid="4671786" border="0" align="left"/> Movement (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/712194770_img_1157-edit-edit-edit(2).jpg" width="670" height="432" width_o="1240" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/712194770_img_1157-edit-edit-edit(2)_o.jpg" data-mid="5789715" border="0" align="left"/> Places (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/arch.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="720" height_o="480" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/arch_o.jpg" data-mid="4672167" border="0" align="left"/> Into The Woods (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/grammatically_incorrect.jpg" width="670" height="485" width_o="1105" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/grammatically_incorrect_o.jpg" data-mid="5789714" border="0" align="left"/> Frames of Mind (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_0967-Edit.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="843" height_o="562" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_0967-Edit_o.jpg" data-mid="4671781" border="0" align="left"/> Movement (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_1091-Edit-Edit-2.jpg" width="606" height="800" width_o="606" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_1091-Edit-Edit-2_o.jpg" data-mid="5789732" border="0" align="left"/> Movement (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_3748-Edit.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="900" height_o="600" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_3748-Edit_o.jpg" data-mid="5789742" border="0" align="left"/> Wonder (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/Broom_Adrien_Seriers1_if you dont know where your going any road will get you there_image3.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="800" height_o="533" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/Broom_Adrien_Seriers1_if you dont know where your going any road will get you there_image3_o.jpg" data-mid="4671910" border="0" align="left"/> Wonder (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_1525-Edit-2.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="843" height_o="562" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_1525-Edit-2_o.jpg" data-mid="4671784" border="0" align="left"/> Sleep Time With Guests (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_7995-Edit.jpg" width="670" height="500" width_o="800" height_o="598" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_7995-Edit_o.jpg" data-mid="4672153" border="0" align="left"/> The Messenger Time With Guests (series) <img src="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_7361-Edit-Edit-Edit.jpg" width="670" height="446" width_o="1200" height_o="800" src_o="http://payload.cargocollective.com/1/0/22303/972772/IMG_7361-Edit-Edit-Edit_o.jpg" data-mid="5789709" border="0" align="left"/> The Falconer The Royal Court (series) Prints are available in varies sizes in limited editions.
