Bio:
Karina Aguilera Skvirsky is a photographer and video artist. Her work is often site specific in its inception exploring how photographs (taken or found) can inform and intersect with the geography and history of a place. Using recycled images as vessels in which new narratives can be implied and investigating how mediated information is understood and perceived, she blurs the boundaries between perceived fact and fiction in her work, re-framing imagery within an obvious subjective context.
Her work has been exhibited at Jessica Murray Projects, Le Centre pour limage contemporaine, Smack Mellon, Art in General, the Bronx Museum of Art, Urban Institute of Contemporary Art, SF Camerawork, the Houston Center for Photography and other institutions nationally and internationally. She is currently participating in the Smack Mellon artist in residence program. Other residencies include: the Banff Centre for Art, in Canada, the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council and the Woodstock Center of Photography. Her work is in the collections of El Múseo del Barrio, the Samuel Dorsky Museum, the Brooklyn Museum of Art and other institutions.
She has worked as a curator and is part of the faculty at the International Center for Photography. Her curatorial projects include Artexts and more recently 10048 Inbox V, a benefit project created in response to September 11. She is also a member of the College Art Association and the Society for Photographic Education.
