SHORT ARTIST BIOGRAPHY: Olja Stipanovic was born in Pula, Croatia where she started her art education. She moved to New York in 1992. She earned her BFA (painting) in 1998, and MFA (painting) in 2000, from Parsons School of Design - Fine Arts Department in New York. For the past 5 years she has been the resident of Long Island City where her studio is located. Her work has been exhibited in many group shows in New York City and abroad.

MEDIUM: Exhibited work will be an installation piece of approximately 150-200 small format drawings in graphite and white gold leaf on paper.

ARTIST STATEMENT: My artwork is concerned with different means of communication and their effects on human perception. I explore various forms of discourse, documenting, alphabetic systems, and language. My latest works are drawings, paintings and photographs intended to revisit the roots of communication and find direction toward making it more effective.

EXHIBITION OPENING RECEPTION: December 2, 2003. 6-9 p.m.
