Welcome listeners to 5 Questions: A Critical Mass for the Visual Arts Podcast in which we ask 5 questions of our interviewees aimed at positioning and contextualizing their respective bodies of work within the St. Louis artworld. This episode we’re talking with Ilene Berman.
Ilene has a durational arts practice aimed at addressing issues of social justice. Her practice is based on her belief that art can (and should) change the world. Her most recent creation, Room13Delmar, is a tricycle-based mobile art studio addressing St. Louis’ Delmar Divide by developing a more visible arts presence in the blocks of the Grand Center Arts District, north of Delmar. In 2015 Ilene was awarded a St. Louis Visionary Artist award and her work has been featured in Alive Magazine, Sculpture Magazine, the St. Louis Beacon, St. Louis Post-Dispatch and on the BBC.
- Why art? Why create?
- Where should your work live? Where does it live?
- What do you want for St. Louis and its people?
- What do you wish someone would ask you about your work?
- What are you building towards?
5 Questions is a program by Critical Mass for the Visual Arts – a nonprofit, self-formed visual arts collaborative dedicated to promoting, enhancing and initiating contemporary visual art in the St. Louis region.
