WHO
Jorge Pardo was born in 1963 in Havana, Cuba, and moved to the United States as
a young child. Throughout his career, Pardo has mixed work devised for
traditional museum spaces with artistic pursuits sited in other venues. In 1997,
he held a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago. In 1999,
Pardo renovated the reception area and mounted an exhibition at the Fabric
Workshop and Museum in Philadelphia. His large-scale work ranges from a
temporary pier for Sculptur Projekte in Münster in 1997, which subsequently
became permanent, to a house, 4166 Sea View Lane, which he presented in 1998 in
the context of a solo exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles.
Miwon Kwon received her PhD in Architectural History and Theory at Princeton
University and is assistant professor in the Department of Art History at the
University of California in Los Angeles. Her work engages several disciplines,
including contemporary art, architecture, public art, and urban studies. Kwon
has organized exhibitions at the Whitney Museum at Phillip Morris, New York. She
is a founding editor and publisher of Documents, a journal of art, culture, and
criticism, and serves on the advisory board of October magazine. Her book "One
Place after Another: Site-Specific Art and Locational Identity" is forthcoming
from MIT Press.

Since 1992, the Robert Lehman Foundation, Inc. has provided generous support for
