Contributed by Dustin Metz
I went to F.U.E.L. this past week to interview Co-Founder Jen Yaron, and Curator Katerina Lydon-Warner. My interest has been piqued ever since this space opened up over a year ago. Not only is it in a prime location at 3rd and Arch in Old City, but it is in one of the most stunning buildings in that area AND devotes its walls to undergraduate/emerging artist. All of these aspects makes for a provocative combination and a lot of inquiries- Who are these people? How did they get the space? Why such young artists?. This is my first interview, look for more to come!
Run Time Approx. 20 min.

F.U.E.L. is a great gallery. I enjoy my experience every time I go there. The artwork, despite the amount of artists in each exhibition, is given elbow room and the expansive space, while usually FULL of people, never feels cramped. Also, it places artists without a voice in a place that exudes importance. The gallery is a tremendous accomplishment.
This was a really great interview. A lot of questions I had about the space were answered here. It was kind of nice to hear everything talked about so openly. I was especially excited to hear about them doing something with Eric Doeringer. Mole tattoos! www.ericdoeringer.com

jen yaron
