He represented Albania at the Venice Biennale in 2007 and was one of the artists of the celebrated Tirana façade project initiated by the artist and mayor Edi Rama and aimed to transform the new postcommunist public space through color and artistic imagination. Gjergji was born in Tirana, Albania and live in NYC. In 2000, he received an M.F.A. from Northwestern University, Chicago. Before that, he received a Diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in Tirana, Albania and a Diploma at the Academy of Fine Arts in Naples, Italy.

They use art platform to render public spaces for interaction and engagement of the social groups, evoking local communities and encouraging their cultural and political imagination.Combining the tools of new and traditional media, Nomeda and Urbonas's work frequently involves collective activities such as workshops, lectures, debates, TV programs, Internet chat-rooms and public protests that stand at the intersection of art, technology and social criticism.

He and his partner have exhibited at the San Paulo, Berlin, Moscow, Lyon and Gwangju Biennales -- and Manifesta and Documenta exhibitions -- among numerous other international shows, including a solo show at the Venice Biennale and MACBA in Barcelona.

3/4/10 Korea Colloquium: "Contested Subjects and Jurisdictions: Korean Migrants in the Ussuri Borderland, 1880-1920"

by Davis Center

She became interested in the study of Korea through her work on Russia and the Soviet Union. She researches issues of transnational migration, border regions, and national identities, themes which are addressed in her recently completed dissertation, "Borderland Beyond: Korean Migrants and the Creation of a Modern Boundary between Korea and Russia, 1860 to 1937." She explores the institutionalization of a state border between the two countries through geopolitical contests, technologies of state surveillance, and the circulation of global ideas about mobility and citizenship. Part of her research was conducted in the Russian Far East, which houses previously untapped materials on Koreans living abroad in Russia from the mid-19th century to mid-20th century. She hopes to add the perspective of Koreans in Manchuria to her current project on the borderlands of Korea. Abstract: This paper examines changes in mobility laws regarding Koreans in the late nineteenth century the unintended consequences of these changes. Whereas movement was previously controlled by a host of factors, such as one's vocation, class, lineage, or religion, in the late nineteenth century, nationality became the primary factor in determining the terms of one's movement between Korea and Russia - one was defined either as a "Korean" subject or a "Russian" subject. Though the new laws and passports clearly demarcated the one's legal status, levels of enforcement and comprehension on the part of Korean and Russian border officials varied. The new laws, it turned out, were constantly being negotiated and redefined at the local level, a process which helped spread an awareness of the hardened boundary among migrants themselves.
