JILL MOSER

JILL MOSER was in her last year of Hunter College’s MFA program, attending classes at night and working by day as an urban archaeologist in lower Manhattan. Her career as an artist was growing and she was searching for a new day job in the arts. Both she and Fremont had studio space in WPA, an artist collective downtown on Broadway. When Fremont mentioned that she needed a new assistant at the City’s innovative Material Donation program, Moser jumped at the chance.


“It was much more appealing than selling ads for art magazines or working in a gallery,” Moser explained. “I got the job because I could type and drive a truck! It was a great gritty time to be working for grassroots arts organizations in a city still reeling from the recession.”



With their unbounded imagination and daring ambition, the two women drove their van everywhere to retrieve and collect materials.
