bk: Elizabeth,
First off – from where do you hail?
Elizabeth Dishman: I was born in Denver and took for granted my romance with the front range mountains until I moved to Atlanta for college. Then to Ohio for grad school, back to Atlanta for a handful of years and on to Brooklyn in 2005, where west began to mean crazy tall buildings instead of purple mountain majesties.
bk: So, Jennifer,
From whence did you come? Is there a place that you currently associate with ‘home’?
JM: I was born in England which is fun to say, but mostly grew up in Minnesota. My current home is in Chicago.
bk: Is it safe to say that you are part comedian/performance artist and part performative/visual artist?
JM: Saying that is a little risky! I like to think that my work as a comedienne, and my work as a “fine artist” are all part of the same soup. My comedy scratches my art’s back and vice verse.
bonnie kate: Do you have a nick-name?
Qing Zhong: “Eos” It’s a greek name given by my mother.
bk: Where are you from?
QZ: Hong Kong
bk: Where are you living now?
QZ: New York, Manhattan, SOHO
bk: Where do you see yourself building your career in the Arts?
QZ: I really love fashion, so I would like to be a fashion marketer or luxury brand manager.
bk: What is your most memorable experience with a work of art? What made such a big impression on you?
Bonniekate: What city do your currently live in?
Min Hee Lee: I am staying in Manhattan near the Times Square!
MHL: I am from Seoul, Korea.
MHL: I am studying Visual Arts Administration now. I am interested in the current of an international art market and the works of contemporary artists.
MHL: As I studied graphic design at the design school(SVA) in New York, I had a lot of chance to meet young artists who are currently working in NY, and I helped making posters or brochures for them. From now on, I want to study more about managing or promoting their exhibitions, so I am trying to understand the flow of contemporary art in America by reading various materials in class and seeing exhibitions.
