Laura Kurgan (South Africa/US), originally from South Africa and now resident in New York, currently teaches architecture at the Princeton University School of Architecture. In addition to her teaching and design practice, she has taught at Yale University, the University of Pennsylvania, and the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Through her innovative work, two of which are exhibited at "911+1," Ms. Kurgan pushes at the interface between architecture, electronic media, and information technologies. As such, she constructs sites that intersect global data networks and very specific local conditions. Her installations have been shown at Manifesta 3 in Ljubliana, the Weisman Art Museum at the University of Minnesota, and at the MIT List Visual Arts Center in Cambridge.
