How does Eva Jospin want visitors to engage with her work in “Vanishing Points”?
**Interview with Eva Jospin: Exploring “Vanishing Points”**
**Editor:** Thank you for joining us, Eva! Your exhibition “Vanishing Points” opens on November 15. Can you share what inspired the title and the overall theme of your work?
**Eva Jospin:** Thank you for having me! The title “Vanishing Points” is both a nod to the concept in perspective drawing and a commentary on the transient nature of our environments. My work often explores the interplay between nature and urban landscapes, emphasizing how they can coexist and sometimes conflict, leading to moments where things seem to disappear or fade away.
**Editor:** That sounds intriguing. Can you tell us more about the specific pieces or installations that visitors can expect to see in your exhibition?
**Eva Jospin:** Absolutely! The exhibition features a series of mixed-media sculptures and installations that blend organic forms with architectural structures. One of the highlights is a large-scale piece that mimics a forest but incorporates elements of urban decay. I want visitors to feel like they are in a dialogue between the two worlds.
**Editor:** It’s a fascinating blend of themes. The exhibition runs until January 25, 2025. What do you hope visitors take away from their experience?
**Eva Jospin:** I hope visitors leave with a heightened awareness of their surroundings – both natural and built. I want them to rethink what they consider “home” and how our spaces are constantly changing. If they leave feeling curious and inspired to engage with their environments more thoughtfully, I’ll consider that a success.
**Editor:** Thank you, Eva! It sounds like a deeply engaging exhibition. We’re excited to see “Vanishing Points” at Mariane Ibrahim Gallery.
**Eva Jospin:** Thank you! I look forward to welcoming everyone!

**Interview with Phedra Cilene: “Beyond The Surface”**
**Editor:** Phedra, your exhibition “Beyond The Surface” opens tonight! What can attendees expect from this event?
**Phedra Cilene:** I’m very excited about it! “Beyond The Surface” explores themes of perception and the hidden stories behind what we see. Attendees can expect a mix of vibrant paintings and interactive installations that invite them to look deeper into their own experiences and emotions.
**Editor:** That sounds captivating. The opening is from 5 to 8 PM at The Silver Room. What do you hope visitors will discover during their time at the exhibition?
**Phedra Cilene:** I hope they find something that resonates with them personally. I want them to challenge their perceptions and realize that there’s often more than meets the eye. Each piece encourages viewers to reflect on their own layers of experience.
**Editor:** Thank you, Phedra! We’re looking forward to the opening tonight!
**Phedra Cilene:** Thank you! I can’t wait to see everyone there!

**Interview with Celeste Rapone: “Big Chess”**
**Editor:** Celeste, your upcoming exhibition “Big Chess” sounds intriguing! Could you provide us with an insight into the concept behind it?
**Celeste Rapone:** Certainly! “Big Chess” uses the game of chess as a metaphor for strategy and conflict in life. Each piece represents different societal roles and relationships, exploring how we navigate our own “games” in the world.
**Editor:** That’s a unique perspective! What kind of mediums are you using for this exhibition?
**Celeste Rapone:** I’m working with a combination of painting and sculpture, producing oversized chess pieces that encourage interaction. The idea is for visitors not just to observe but to engage with the work physically and conceptually.
**Editor:** It sounds like a thought-provoking experience. What message are you hoping to convey through this exhibition?
**Celeste Rapone:** I want people to reflect on their own strategies in life and how every move matters, be it personal or communal. It’s about understanding the impact we have in our social landscapes.
**Editor:** Thank you, Celeste! “Big Chess” certainly sounds like an engaging experience, and we look forward to seeing it soon.
**Celeste Rapone:** Thank you so much—I can’t wait to share it with everyone!
