Cecilia Flaten
Since she is four until she is twenty-seven years old, the dance comes to be in the core of her life and simultaneously she maintains sporadic romances with Painting, Theater and Literature. In the search of a more tangible art she looks after the painting coming to be at the present day her great love. At the beginning of this engagement, things happened in a rather playful and innocent way, all which is completely demonstrated in her Naïf works, in which she experiences with techniques and colors that allude directly to her Scandinavian ancestors.

Mark Planisek
One of my latest in my political art adventures. You may say this is a well-worn theme by now, but I've been doing political art for two decades now and have exhibited in political/anti war exhibits in New York City, Washington,D.C. and other cities in the U.S. and abroad.

The panel responsible for the selection of the 30 winners is composed of Chin Chih Yang (Artist and Chief Curator of 123Soho), Heidi Jain (Photographer and former instructor at Mercer County and Brookdale Community College), and Younghee Choi Martin The art of Younghee Choi Martin is a distinctive mix of classical and modern, employing a semi-abstract style to express tragic and heroic themes. Affirming that ³painting is silent poetry,² she draws inspiration from works of classical literature such as the Oresteia of Aeschylus and Virgil's Aeneid. Educated at the Rhode Island School of Design and in Rome, and the recipient of numerous honors, she has had 18 solo shows and over 50 group exhibitions in New York and throughout the United States, as well as in France, Italy, Japan, and Korea.

Content:

In this installation and performance entitled " When Perfidy Meets Virtue ", the artist Chin Chih Yang, uses flags and ceremony as vehicles for the emergence of the modern Taiwanese nation, and the opposition to this process by China and other members of the United Nation whose self-interests serve as an obstacle to this process.

"123PollutionSolution" Cans and Video Installation Project

35,000 cans and 10,000 MetroCards plus Video installation in Union Square/ North Park, NYC - May 20, 2007 and Fort Lee Community Center, NJ - July 21, 2007

Unfortunately, pollution has become an integral part of our lives. We ourselves are the only ones who may be able to come up with a collective solution to this dilemma. Chin Chih Yang's art attempts to help us think "outside the box" in our efforts to come up with a plan to save ourselves and our planet.

The approximately 35,000 cans for this 123PollutionSolution project were collected during the last 2 years by the approximately 500 students and parents from the Tzu Chi Academic in Cedar Grove, New Jersey. I would like to express my gratitude and appreciation to them for their efforts.
