Elizabeth Doering's artcritical articles profile Rohrer exhibition and Ashik Mene encounter
Elizabeth Doering authored content for artcritical covering multiple art subjects. One piece detailed an exhibition at the Philadelphia Museum of Art running from June 22 to August 17, 2003, focusing on an artist named Rohrer. Rohrer hailed from Lancaster County in Pennsylvania and was raised within a Mennonite farming community, a separatist Christian group with European origins. His expected path was to become both a minister and a farmer. Another article described an interaction with Ashik Mene, a Turkish Cypriot artist residing in the northern part of Nicosia. Mene received a call in American English on his mobile phone while waiting at a border crossing. He was welcoming and unsurprised, as word had already spread in a typically Cypriot manner about a foreign artist seeking to speak with him.
