Don’t worry, Studioscopic is still here! We had a little email / blog trouble here in the uwishunu office, so David Kessler’s awesome video on Zoe Cohen got posted a little late, but trust us, it is worth the wait. Just click on the image, and it’ll take you to a page on Blip.tv, with the video.
Kessler explains that “Zoe Cohen has two major strains in her artwork. What she refers to as her “studio work” consisting on drawings made with non-traditional medium and her “public participatory work”, facilitating means of communication in public spaces.”
You can visit her on the web at www.zoecohen.com. Be sure to catch up on previous episodes of Studioscopic here on uwishunu!

It’s Thursday, which means it’s time for another episode of Studioscopic by David Kessler.
Kessler meets up with brothers Steven and Billy Blaise Dufala during their show at the Fleisher Art Memorial. They talk about working together as both artists and brothers, and how they use humor in their sculptures and events. My favorite part? The ice cream tank built in Space 1026… that they actually served ice cream out of.
You might recognize Billy from the Anti Records band, Man Man.
