EFA STUDIO PROGRAM: ALUMNI

Jena H. Kim

I am interested in creating fictional dimensions and architecturally impossible spaces on a flat surface. The abstract compositional works attempt to subvert the “concrete” architectural space, in place of a more fluid, playful space-an offering that invites the viewer to experience a blurring line between real and invented space.Minimal vocabulary of bold, clean lines and shapes are combined to build a mix of spatial structures and solid forms. The works express fictional structures and create their own interpretation on a given surface.

EFA Studio Program

The Elizabeth Foundation for the Arts Studio Program

The EFA Studio Program is housed in eight floors of the EFA building located in Midtown Manhattan’s Fashion District. The Studio Program maintains artists studios of various size and shape for up to 80 member-artists. One of three programs at EFA, the members of the EFA Studios program are part of a community that includes The Project Space and the Robert Blackburn Printmaking Workshop. The Studio Program provides artists the rare opportunity to work in a professional arts community inside Manhattan and in close proximity to the city’s primary gallery districts. EFA facilitates interaction with dealers, curators and critics to provide continued development for member-artists. Unique among studio programs in New York City, EFA is one of the few remaining arts organizations still providing long-term workspace in Manhattan.
