Artist: Asya Dodina, Slava Polishchuk Title: Cones Audio: Date: 2003 Dimensions: 100″ x 116″ Location in Library: Second floor Media: Oil/mixed media on canvas Owner: The Brooklyn College Library Collection. Gift from the artists in honor of Professor Anthony Cucchiara Description: Two artists, in collaboration, have combined these natural shapes, cones and shells. The interconnections, the twists and turns of these shapes with one another, seem to reflect the very essence of human relationships. The scale and interplay of the shapes are enhanced by the use of paper and textiles, which imbue the painting with a rich, powerful texture and feeling.

Artist: Asya Dodina, Slava Polishchuk Title: What Remains Audio: Date: 2012 Dimensions: Triptych, each section, 37 inches x 37 inches Location in Library: First floor Media: Graphite on rice paper and canvas, debris Owner: The Brooklyn College Library Collection. Gift of the artists. Description: The artists’ choice of media is essential for this work, as they address the themes of loss, remembrance and survival, inherent in the devastation of New York’s Hurricane Sandy. Delicate images of battered plants are juxtaposed against the debris of painted, defunct magnetic tape, which originated in the 1930s for sound recording. This triptych raises awareness of challenges to libraries: in order to preserve content of a now obsolete technology, audiotape must be migrated to digital format.
