Claire Jervert

As a visual artist and curator working in NYC, my work examines communication technology and our perceptions of it. I studied at the University of Washington in Seattle and graduated from Rutgers University in 1986. In 2008 I received a Mid Atlantic Foundation for the Arts Fellowship for Painting and was awarded a digital residency at Atlantic Center for the Arts. I have exhibited in numerous venues including two solo exhibitions in NYC. My work is in several collections including the West/SAI, AG Rosen and the Sprint Art Collection. Reviews include the New York Times, The New Yorker, and Frieze, among others. My work is published in several exhibition book/catalogues and discussed and featured on the cover of The UFO Show, University of Illinois Art Museum Press.

One area that I find particularly compelling is the emergent medium of urban architectural-facade media screens--as communications portal, data visualization surface and frame. They provide infinite possibilities for visual art and cultural reflection combining architecture, technology and social interaction as well as, from a critical perspective, a means for developing an alternative communication media.
