About:
Liz Cohen lives in Phoenix, where among other projects, she has been at work on Bodyworks, a multi-disciplinary and cross-media investigation in which she transforms a 1987 East German Trabant into a 1973 Chevrolet El Camino. The process, results, and documentation have been shown in various stages at the Fargfabriken Gallery in Stockholm and the Scottsdale Museum of Contemporary Art in Arizona. Her work has been featured in many magazines and journal articles, including an interview in the November 2007 Believer Magazine and the cover of the winter 2007 Sleek. Cohen completed her MFA at the California College of Arts and Crafts and is a Museum School/Tufts University alumna. In 2008 Cohen received an Alumni Traveling Scholars Award from the SMFA and will show at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in the spring of 2010.
