Having posed for some 10 paintings by Alex Katz, Mie Iwatsuki — a Japanese model and
independent curator based in New York — collaborated with dealer Nick Lawrence to solicit portraits of her by an additional 34 artists, ranging from Robert Frank to DJ Spooky, from New York's David Humphrey to
China's Lin Yilin and Korea's Min Hyung (who, in one of the show's most imaginative leaps, depicts Itwatsuki
as a male Maasai warrior in Kenya).
Following our conversation with Edward Winkleman and Murat Orozobekov, the co-founders of Moving Image, we discussed with some of the participants about the relevance of the Moving Image art fair and the uniqueness of video
as an artistic medium: with Paula Alzugaray (
independent curator, São Paulo, Brazil) and Sabine Brunckhorst (collector, Hamburg, Germany) about their perspective on the fair from a
curator's and a collector's perspective, and with gallerists Serra Pradhan (Marianne Boesky Gallery, New York, NY, USA), Catharine Clark (Catharine Clark Gallery, San Francisco, CA, USA), Barbara Polla (Galerie Analix Forever, Paris, France), Catlin Moore (Mark Moore Gallery, Culver City, CA, USA), Wagner Lungov (CENTRAL Galeria de Arte, São Paulo, Brazil), Nancy Atakan (5533, Istanbul, Turkey), Lise Li (Vanguard Gallery, Shanghai,
China), Kelani Nichole (TRANSFER, Brooklyn, NY, USA), Asli Sumer -LRB-.
