John Chervinsky
John Chervinsky's diverse engineering background is evident in his ongoing series of conceptual still-lifes. He currently
works with a small research group whose work sits at the nexus of biology and applied physics: The Harvard Nanopore
Group's core mission is the development of a novel device that may one day be used for fast and inexpensive sequencing of
single-stranded DNA. Chervinsky has also spent 18 years running a particle accelerator, has designed and built beam lines
at Harvard and Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, built instrumentation used to study proton scattering on mirrors
used aboard NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. He has used accelerator technology in the analysis of art, and collaborated
with Harvard's Fogg Art Museum and the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
Predecessors such as John Pfahl inspired his ongoing series of photographs, An Experiment in Perspective, as
he sets out to explore the metaphoric aspects of visual perception. He has had numerous solo exhibitions at noteworthy
venues such as Peer Gallery (New York, NY), Blue Sky Gallery (Portland, OR) and The Griffin Museum of Photography
(Winchester, MA). He has collaborated with MacArthur Fellow poet, Thylias Moss, his work is held in the corporate collections
of Polaroid and Fidelity, The Spenser Museum of Art (Lawrence, KS), The Portland Museum of Art (Portland, OR),
Harvard Business School (Cambridge, MA), Wright State University Art Museum (Dayton, OH), as well as in numerous
