Item Description
Visit artist Alina Bliumis in her studio and also receive this signed photograph by Jeff and Alina Bliumis: Casual Conversations/Identity Series, 14 x 11 in, Unique Size C-print.
This photograph is part of Alina and Jeff Bliumis's Casual Conversations in Brooklyn (2007-2009) project which they created through their Six Points Fellowship for emerging Jewish Artists, a program of the Foundation for Jewish Culture. It is an anthropological inquiry of Brooklyn's immigrant communities, based on interactions initiated place through artist interventions and public discussions held around the Brighton Beach area. Participants were provoked to react and reflect on personal and group identities in the form of a performance installation and then photographic series. Each individual's participation became an integral part in what became a community portrait. The photography series was then exhibited at the Philadelphia's National Museum of Jewish History in 2012.
Former Six Points Fellows, Jeff (born Kishinev, Moldova) and Alina (born Minsk, Belarus) and have been collaborating since 2000. Jeff received his BA from Columbia University, New York in 1981. Alina received her BFA from the School of Visual Art, New York in 1999 and a diploma from the Advanced Course in Visual Arts in Fondazione Antonio Ratti, Como, Italy in 2005.
