Liv Schwenk is a Brooklyn based artist, working with drawing, performance, critical-speculative thought, choreography, writing, and video. She is fascinated with patterns, and the underlying truths of a pattern or an ornament. Causality, gravity, chaos and order, freedom and restriction are notions that she examines throughout her work whether as a series of drawings or a score for moving bodies.
Rennie Ament studied poetry at Hunter College, where she has taught creative writing. Her work has appeared or is forthcoming in the Colorado Review, Sixth Finch, Redivider, DIAGRAM, the minnesota review, The Journal, Prelude, and elsewhere. She's received fellowships from the Millay Colony for the Arts, the Vermont Studio Center and the New York State Summer Writers Institute. She lives in Queens and online at www.rennieament.com.
