Q&A with Richard Jochum
Inside the Artist's Studio Documentary

(1) I am a post-minimalist and post-conceptual sculptor and media artist drawing from a variety of media and artistic practices.

(2) I think art continually has to create new images for the time we live in. For the conditions and issues we deal with: existentially, politically, physically, and globally. Searching such images is what I am aiming for.

(3) My artistic work is often based on participation or embedded in local communities. I believe in an intriguing encounter between art producers and the public. Audiences can make us learn better and see things we would not have known yet. I understand both intelligence and creativity to be profoundly social.

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.
