Interview with FJORD for their 10th Anniversary

I interviewed members of FJORD for their 10th anniversary - hope you’ll read it on Artblog

I am so excited to speak with Co-Directors Natessa Amin, and Anthony Bowers of FJORD on the momentous occasion of their 10th anniversary. Discovering their space when I returned to Philadelphia from graduate school inspired my own curatorial projects, as well as my desire to be a part of an artist-run space. I have been a Co-Director at Ortega y Gasset Projects, an artist-run curatorial collective in Brooklyn, NY since 2017. We also celebrated our 10 year anniversary this year, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to sit down and talk about the history of FJORD, what it’s like to be a part of an artist-run space, and what their vision is for the future. Fjord’s 10 Year Anniversary event was held at Atelier on Saturday, September 16, 2023. You can still support them by making a donation through their Paypal.

Artblog Interview with Marilyn Holsing

I visited Marilyn Holsing’s studio in the Crane Building in 2022. I had invited myself after seeing posts of her recent paintings and drawings on Instagram. It was such an exciting experience to see the dioramas in person, to navigate this fantastical world of plants and characters, and to hear more about the inventive world that she has created. It was such a pleasure to interview Marilyn, to dive deeper into the history and content behind her work.

I hope you’ll go to Artblog to read the interview!
