2008-09 Wind Challenge Artist
Mark Khaisman earned both the equivalent of a BFA and an MFA from Moscow State Academy of Architecture, Russian Federation. His installations and images reflect everyday objects and architectural references. The work is about the familiar; made of a familiar material, formed into a familiar image. Khaisman builds forms that are as fragile as they are material; and then asks the viewer to recognize and complete the work, stimulating both memory and interpretation in the process.
