EXHIBITION HISTORY: 

The Micro Museum 
The only inter-disciplinary media center in Downtown Brooklyn.  
Attracting and supporting artists that fit into all categories, 
The Micro Museum embraces hybrid art and the synergy between 
performing and visual arts. Their monthly exhibition series, 
Odd Sundays is an environment that tends to blur the line between 
art forms as well as audience and performer.  The Micro Museum 
acts as a creative laboratory for all kinds of performing artists.
It houses several media collections such as public TV's Spontaneous 
Combustion series and archives of the Laziza Electrique 
Dance Company.  The Micro Museum is the recipient of the Metropolitan 
Museum's 78 RPM record collection.  Since 1986 it has been operating 
several local educational programs for students ages 3 - 18 in public 
parks and schools. 

The Micro Museum has been awarded funds through NY Foundation for the 
Arts, NYC Dept. of Cultural Affairs, Rockefeller Foundation and others. 
In 2001 The Micro Museum is honoring Arthur C. Clarke for his vision 
and advocacy for solar power.

Founding Directors:
William Laziza is a systems engineer by day and an enterprising artist 
by night.  He is the master builder for sculptures and media installations 
on display at The Micro Museum. He has nurtured dozens of collaborations 
with music and media artists since moving to NYC 20 years ago.  The New 
York Times selected his inter-active installation, The Videograph, for 
their Millennium Section published on Jan.1, 2000 as an example of "Art of 
the Future".  He is a member of the NE Solar Energy Coalition and (ASCI) 
Arts & Science Collaboration, Inc.  Downtown Community Television selected
the Laziza's to be their first cyberartist in residence for 2001.  He 
designed virtual digital environments, mixed them live with 5 cameras, 3 
dancers, 2 pre-recorded video sources, 5 visual instruments and 1 webcam 
transmission as a part of their new work "The Crystal Box".

Kathleen Laziza is an artist who began her career as a painter but 
quickly turned her attention to performance art in the late 1970's.  
She moved to NYC in 1980 where she began the Laziza Electrique Dance Co, an 
experimental network of artists needed to create her mixed media works.  
Her videodances were the subject of the leading article in Leonardo Magazine (June 
1996) for the International Society of Arts, Science and Technology published by 
MIT Press entitled "The Intersection of Dance, Technology and Performance 
Art". She was a guest art/tech lecturer for Lincoln Center Dance Collections 
and two of her videodances aired at Walter Reade Theater in 2000.  Laziza's
premiere work for 2001 - "The Crystal Box" was a live mix from 8 feeds 
and a simultaneous broadcast over the internet and through cable distribution 
in Manhattan.
