Episode Synopsis

This week, in our series of meeting our 2021-2022 Artists-in-Residence, we have a conversation with Lena Schmid. Lena Schmid‘s paintings explore how time functions as a physical force, especially how its’ poetics and physics relate to the confounding experience of chronic pain. She holds an MFA from Hunter College and a BFA from the Massachusetts College of Art and Design and she has been an artist in residence at The Wassaic Project - https://www.wassaicproject.org/ - and The TIDES Institute in Maine - https://www.tidesinstitute.org/. We talk a lot about genres and labels in art, but also equally about time and space.
