Elise Engler keeps track of the world through her drawings, paintings, and accordion-books; making lists and documenting her travels to The Galapagos, Antarctica, Sicily and the streets of New York. Beginning on May 19, 2014 Elise Engler spent a year on Broadway, exploring it block by block, from Kingsbridge to the Battery. Engler recently completed a residency at the MacDowell Colony. Last year she began work on a new series entitled First Radio Headline Heard of the Day, a chronicle of mostly political events, as they unfold in real time.
I recently caught up with Elise Engler to learn more about her work. Listen, enjoy, comment, and share:
