Anatoliy Kharkhurin

I consider myself both an artist and a scholar. I cannot disentangle these two endeavors and I believe that my artistic and academic works complement and inspire each other. I am professor of psychology and researcher in psychology of creativity and multilingualism; my scholarship has appeared in edited volumes, scientific journals, and encyclopedias. I have developed a new Bilingual Creative Education program that combines foreign language learning and creativity fostering techniques in a unified curricular approach. I am a published poet; my book of poetry has been published in Russian. I am an artist constantly looking for new means of creative expression. In search for these methods, I shifted the focus of my work from traditional poetics to alternative utilization of poetic text. I work at the borderline of visual art and poetry and actively participate in the projects combining poetic text with various art media. I am an artist and curator at the Leize Jenius collective (Berlin, Germany), which has curated a number of exhibitions in various geographic locations.

I have received a Ph.D. in the Experimental Psychology from the City University of New York (USA). My academic background is in Cognitive Science (Artificial Intelligence), Psychology, Psycholinguistics, Linguistics, and, before that, in Computer Science.
