Buffalo, New York-based multi-media artist Megan Michalak will complete her current project KINOMIC Redistribution System (kinetic+economic) created in collaboration with Stephanie Rothenberg. Described as an educational, interactive game that parodies the role of dominant institutions such as the World Bank and WTO in regulating economic relations between developing and developed countries, the work will be presented as an installation in August 2009 at Galary Titanik in Turku, Finland. Megan Michalak's work has been presented at Smack Mellon Gallery (NYC), The Bronx Museum of the Arts, The Silver Lake Film Festival (Los Angeles), the SF Cinemateque, Dance Theater Workshop among others. She was recently awarded a NYSCA Individual Arts Award for work in film and media. http://meganmichalak.com/home.html
