I am
excited to talk to the NYC based artist Melissa
Meyer. In this
episode, we talk about painting in the 1960's, her work with Miriam
Schapiro on the essay that coined the term "femmage" and her
current studio work. Melissa received undergraduate and graduate
degrees from New York University. Her development has been surveyed
in traveling exhibitions originating at the New York Studio School
and Swarthmore College. She has completed public commissions in New
York, Tokyo, Shanghai, and Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Her work is in the
collections of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Museum of Modern
Art, the Brooklyn Museum, the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, the
Jewish Museum, and the McNay Art Museum. Meyer received the Rome
Prize from the American Academy in Rome, and grants from the
National Endowment for the Arts and the Pollock-Krasner
Foundation.
