Dmitry (Dima) Strakovsky

Dmitry "Dima" Strakovsky was born in St.Petersburg, Russia in 1976. He has lived in the United States since 1988. With an MFA degree from The School of the Art Institute of Chicago's Department of Art and Technology, he worked for various companies in the toy invention industry. This experience was instrumental in his electro-mechanical fabrication and software development in the arts, and his recent team, Creative Link, linking the arts in healthcare.

 

Dima's work spans diverse media and conceptual interests. Collaborative performances, media installations, drawing and sculptural works are just some of the examples of different modalities that define his output. His work has been included in a variety of exhibitions and events at venues such as Tokyo National University of Fine Arts and Music, Moscow Biennale, Mediations Biennale (Poznan) and Indianapolis Museum of Contemporary Art.
