EFA STUDIO PROGRAM: ALUMNI

Ming-Jer Kuo

My work is the result of my observations on, research in and responses to the complexity of urban systems. I use shifting perspectives and variations in scales to study urban areas and form, and to explore and respond to ideas of urban organization and management. Working with lens-based images such as aerial photographs, I capture repeated urban patterns, present unseen scenes and illustrate urban information. Through the presentation of both photographic prints and sculptural installations, I want to blur the boundaries between architecture, urban planning, design and photography and to encourage viewers to resee and rethink our living surrounding.

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.
