Chitra Ganesh will create a wall drawing incorporating sculptural elements. Ganesh’s work draws from Greek and Hindu iconography, 19th century portraiture, lesbian pulp novels, Bollywood posters and ‘zines.

In SooKoon Ang’s hand-drawn book series “Housewife Into Poet,” pen and ink drawings illustrate abstract tales of a housewife’s life from which undercurrents of dark dissatisfaction emerge. The books will be accompanied by short films which use moving images as well as animation, narration, music and text.

Chitra Ganesh is originally from New York City and currently resides in Brooklyn. Her work has been exhibited at the Queens Museum, Brooklyn Museum, Bronx Museum for the Arts, White Columns and Apex Art. She has a Masters of Fine Art from Columbia University and is currently an artist-in-residence at the Lower Manhattan Cultural Council’s workspace program.

SooKoon Ang was born and raised in Singapore, where she trained at the Nanyang Academy of Fine Arts and the LaSalle/Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology University. She is a graduate of School of Visual Arts in New York. Her work has been featured in Singapore, Australia and New York, as well as film and video festivals in Europe and Asia. She is currently an artist-in-residence at the Shanghai Duolan Museum of Modern Art.
