About Gary Sczerbaniewicz The 2022 SURF AiR Gary Sczerbaniewicz is based in Buffalo, New York. Sczer­baniewicz’s work explores architectural spaces that evoke a sense of psychological unease, what he refers to as “the architectural uncanny.” Sczerbaniewicz borrows techniques from architecture, installation, sculpture and theatrical stagecraft to create full-sized structures into which the viewer is invited to physically enter and explore. About the SURF Art­ist-in-Residence (SURF AiR) program The SURF AiR program invites artists to create work inspired by SURF’s unique science, location and history. SURF is the deepest underground labora­tory in the United States, reaching nearly a mile below the surface. It houses experiments in physics, biology, geology, and engineering.
