Esther Choi
Esther Choi is a Canadian artist and writer based in New York City. She is known for creating dialogical social practice artworks such as Office Hours, a series of online conversations between BIPOC artists and designers started in 2020, and Public Service, a web series involving BIPOC cultural workers in conversations about cultural change.[1][2][3] Office Hours was conceived to address the problem of BIPOC underrepresentation in the culture industries.[4]
Choi is also the creator of Le Corbuffet (Prestel, 2019), a Fluxus-inspired cookbook. This book was inspired by a menu for Bauhaus-founder Walter Gropius, which she discovered during her archival research for her doctorate in architectural history at Princeton University. The book aims to challenge the notion of connoisseurship and how taste is created. Le Corbuffet was nominated for a James Beard Award for Photography in 2020.[5]
Choi is the coeditor of several books, including Architecture At the Edge of Everything Else (MIT Press, 2010) and Architecture Is All Over (Columbia Books on Architecture and the City, 2017).[6][7]
