Unofficial Svetlana Khorkina Page
Svetlana was born on the 19th of January in 1979 in Belgorod, Russia, as first child of Lyubov and Vassily Khorkina - the last name is also written Chorkina often. She started to practice gymnastics seriously after she had seen world champion Oksana Omelianchik on TV when she was about 6 years old, and right from the start it turned out that she had enough talent & ambition to become a pretty successful athlete. Unfortunately something else turned out that seemed to make a career as an artistic gymnast impossible before it had really started: She became tall! Considering the fact that her height would lead to problems at the gymnastic apparatus, especially with beam and uneven bars, her trainers commended her to concentrate on rhythmic gymnastics. She followed their advice and participated in this discipline - but only for one year. Then she decided to do the gymnastics she really liked!
In the late eighties Russia was part of the yet existing Soviet Union, and the most talented young gymnasts became member of the Soviet Junior National Team. Svetlana was one of them! In 1992 she took part in her first big contest, the "Moscow World Stars", and initially placed 5th in the AA. This was just the beginning in a long row of successes, many competitions and first-class results were to come in the following years.
1994 was a succesful year for Sveta. At the 1994 European Championships, she won a silver in the AA (tie with compatriot Dina Kochetkova) and a gold in her favorite apparatus, the UB. She also was the 1994 Moscow World Star Champion. At the 1994 World Championships, her first world championship, she already placed 9th in the all-around and manage to win two silvers, on vault, in missing the gold by just 0.012, and the uneven bars, only second to China's Lu Li.
1995 was another big year for this talented gymnast. She walked away with the 1995 European Cup title, along with a silver on the UB and bronze medals on VT and FX. She defended her Moscow World Stars title and she also won three apparatus titles. Going to the 1995 Worlds, whe was one of the picks to win the AA gold, although she only managed to win the silver, she got the highest score of the whole meet (9.912 on the UB).
At the Olympic Games in Atlanta she won 2 medals: The gold medal at UB in the individual competition and the silver medal in the team competition. She only placed 15th in the all-around but would have placed higher if she didn't fell on a skill on the UB, a Shaposhnikova with a half twist, better known as the Khorkina on the new code of points.
At the 1997 Russian Nationals, she won two gold medals, the Uneven Bars and the All-Around! She scored a 9.750 on the UB and a total of 37.65.
Now, on to the 1997 Worlds, she won her first AA World title with a 38.636, .049 pionts better than her nearest competitor, Simona Amanar. She succesfully defended her UB title with a near pefect routine to score a 9.875, the highest score of the women's competition. She also won silver medals on the BB and FX.
1998 is another big year for Sveta. She lost her Russian National Title to Anna Kovaleva but succesfully defended her UB title. She also finished second behind Kovaleva on the Moscow World Stars. She also competed on a chain of World Cup series. She won the UB at the Cottbus Grand Prix, but lost the UB title to Bi Wenjing at the French Telecom. She also premiered a brand new routine.
Going to the 1998 Europeans, Khorkina wasn't favored to win the gold. A Ukrainian gymnast named Viktoria Karpenko seems very ready to take the title, but she faltered because of an injury. Khorkina on the other hand performed almost perfect on all the apparatus, taking the lead since the 1st rotation and she never fell from that spot. Her only miscue came on the third rotation when she fell on her second VT, but recovered with a 9.887 on bars in the final rotation.
Khorkina also won 2 apparatus gold medals. Taking the UB title with the highest score of the competion with a 9.900! She tied with Corina Ungureanu of Romania for the gold on the FX.

niamh murray - One Journey of Many
One Journey of Many Video 12 mins
During December 1998, my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer which is subsequently the reason 'One Journey of Many' as a piece of work came about. I would describe its essence as the gentle whisperings between child and adult.Shown here as a video work (originally a slide/sound installation) 'One Journey of Many' is really something which began as a small piece of writing I made for my mother on my journey from Belfast to my home in Warrenpoint, on being told of her diagnosis. It was during weekly trips home to care for her during her illness and treatments that we began a series of photography/therapy sessions. Of course, at the time, this was my mother's way of coming to terms with her scars, internally as well as physically. After some research we learned that this way of working had been given its name 'Photo-Therapy' during the 1970s by artists Jo Spence and Rosy Martin. (If you wish to find out more about the work Spence has done contact Terry Dennett, C/o Jo Spence Memorial Archive, 152 Upper Street (rear entrance), London N1 1RA.) 'One Journey of Many' is a work of many layerings. It brings together my mother's own personal past through the use of slides projected on her body and also images of the accessories of cancer-medications, wigs and so on. By projecting images of her past on her broken body, we hoped to bring to the surface a more positive way of thinking about the illness and the effects it would subsequently be having on her, consciously rather than sub-consciously. Originally the work is an installation piece, with the slides projected onto a washing line on which are hung some items of women's clothing and some kitchen utensils.I suppose in a way this was my way of coming to terms with the role reversal which had taken place, she became an infant at the hand of the photographer.
The piece in ways for me also has something of a womb-like feel. I definitely believe that the work played a huge role in helping us both come to terms with her illness and eventual full recovery. 'One Journey of Many' has also become a tool with which to educate women on breast cancer and the alternative methods of treatment available within the NHS and also within alternative medicine. This is not just my mother's journey. If you wish to contact me about the work or your own experiences of this disease, feel free to do so on ninizoomstar@hotmail.com
nathalie papamichael -"No more than the Vehicle for a Vagina"
No more than the Vehicle for a Vagina
Performance duration 13 minutes
a collaboration with Ornella Moscucci
I am interested in re-defining woman: undoing the role assigned her throughout history. I worked with images found in anatomical books, explored the means that have defined her - biologically and socially in image and language. Woman with her wounds opened up, flaunting her body unashamedly for the viewer, not returning the gaze, a provocative pose, pleasing to man. Core images which reflect those found in magazines today: woman as the object. Man has defined woman through language: Durkheim, Cabanis and Aristotle, all contribute to our understanding
She has been delimited through her body: imprisoned in it. I seek to disrupt the imposed subject/object differentiation, to super-impose a unity of mind and body, to annul the dualities and create a voice. To speak for woman with my voice, to return the gaze, to expose the insult that underlies every woman's experience.

DISPERSE: CONTACT SHEETAndrew CarnieMay 2002Light jet print on photographic paper. Framed 541/2"by 413/4'DISPERSE (on opening night)Andrew Carnie May 2002Slide dissolve projection work: 162 slides, two projectors, three translucent screens Andrew Carnie's work using a wide range of media to tackle a variety of complex issues, ranging from travel and its cultural effects, to personal journeys, to neurology, to natural sciences, and to the nature of morality. One of his current areas of interest is the hygiene implications of death and the mythology pertaining to the disposal of the human corpse. For the show Hygiene he has produced a sequential set of one hundred and sixty two slides and a photographic print dealing with the disposal of the body and the different ways in which it is prepared for burial. In the work 'Disperse' he asks "What happens to the body on death. How do we treat it? What elements of hygiene come into the acts of disposal of the corpse? If the death has been caused by disease what may be needed to stop the body being 'contagious'? What happens if the body has been contaminated by radioactivity? What myths have grown over the ages in different cultures as to the processing of the body and its internment to avoid health hazards?"Prior to this work for Hygiene, he has recently been working on a project for the exhibition 'Head on' at the new Wellcome Temporary Exhibition Space at the Science Museum London. This work, titled 'Magic forest' consists of a 35mm slide dissolve work on multiple layered screens on the theme of the brain, memory and neuron interconnectivity, neuron development and migration. He has been working with Neuroscientists at the MRC Centre for Developmental Neurology, at Kings College, London. The go ahead has just been given for him to continue with this work on a follow up project over the next year.Carnie also works with the group 'No Limits' and he has recently made a large video installation, with a 50 by 4.5 meter video screen in collaboration with 'Theatre Venture', a theatre and arts based group in Stratford, London. The resulting work on the theme of journeys was exhibited outside the EXCEL exhibition centre on the Victoria Dock, in April 2002. He currently has a one person show 'Embark' at the Millais gallery Southampton, here he is showing work dealing with issues of travel, nostalgia and memory.
