About the artists
Forman is an artist and designer who engages research and practice focusing on play, imagination and the absurd in the everyday through performance, video, photography, installation and sculpture.
Schubel’s artistic practice is based around the physical, historical and psychological impact of gravity, culminating in sculptural and performative work questioning notions of stability, presence and the necessity of purposelessness.
Forman and Schubel balance a making practice with their roles as art administrators at UrbanGlass, a nonprofit public space in New York City. During their visit, Forman (education manager at UrbanGlass) and Schubel (education director at UrbanGlass) will discuss the evolution of their work and the realities of managing an arts career simultaneously with employment in a community-driven arts organization.
