New Ethnicities: Artists in Dialogue

BAIK ART presents a monthly series of conversations between artists, facilitated by curator Anuradha Vikram. The shift to online programming creates opportunities to bring artists from far-apart geographies together in conversation about their work and experiences. These dialogues bring artists together around shared materials, challenges, and ambitions for art's continued importance. 

Each artist pair will reflect on the overlaps between them with respect to craft and concept, and shared and divergent experiences of cultural support systems and the art market. Four conversations will take place between November 2020-February 2021.

This upcoming artist dialogue will feature Elana Mann and Jiha Moon. 

Elana Mann creates artwork that brings a greater consciousness to the listening and speaking we practice in everyday life. Her artwork bridges sculpture, performance, community engagement, and politics.

Jiha Moon uses gestural paintings, mixed media, ceramic sculpture and installation to explore fluid identities and the global movement of people and their cultures. She often teases and changes the lexicons of eastern and western art so that they are hard to identify, yet stay in a familiar zone.

Anuradha Vikram is a Los Angeles-based writer, curator, and educator. She is faculty in the UCLA Department of Art and USC Roski School of Art and Design, and serves as an Editorial Board member for X-TRA, an editor for MhZ Curationist, and an editor for X Topics, a subsidiary of X Artists’ Books.
