The Interstitial Arts Foundation is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the study, support, and promotion of interstitial art: literature, music, visual and performance art found in between categories and genres – art that crosses borders. 
This coming Saturday, the AFA Gallery in SoHo New York is hosting artist Lin Esser for the opening of his new collection of delightfully skeletal and wryly titled tableaux!
These whimsical, macabre works evoke the eccentric subjects of English symbolism, sinister figures of the renaissance, the anthropomorphic tableaux of Victorian naturalism and the Dia de los Muertos style of South America. Come drift among these eerie creations and realize the “ever-evolving narrative that is revealed as one spends more time with each environment.”
Colorado-born artist Lin Esser has been fascinated with illustration ever since watching his father, a mechanical engineer, craft intricate exploded drawings and cross sections of elaborate multi-cogged machinery. Like many interstitial artists, he has worked across disciplines as a double bass player, a Broadway sound designer, a film composer, a magazine illustrator, and a cartoonist. He was the Director of Sound and Music of the Actors Studio under Paul Newman, and his tableaux are featured in Dave Davidson’s short film Contacting the Living.
