Interview with Lisa Dinhofer
Here are the questions Alice and I emailed to Lisa Dinhofer for our interview.
1- Can you give us a background on yourself and the kind of art you do? When did you start making art and why?
2- How did you get involved with the MTA? Are you working with the MTA now, and if so, what are you working on?
3- How did you start the project “Losing My Marbles”? Did you create this work specifically for the MTA? Did they contact you to do this project?
4- In the creative aspect, what was your inspiration and/or motivation to create “Losing My Marbles”? Did the MTA give you any guidelines, or was everything up to you? Who were you trying to speak to through your art?
5- Who do you think “Losing My Marble”, and other subway art, reaches out to the most?
6- How do you think NYC subway art is unique to the NYC culture?
