Public Art
Working with Jenny Holzer, whose work is not confined by institutional white boxes but also often activated on the street, I have been involved in various multi-media public art projects in New York, Los Angelous, Washington D.C., among other cities.


Jenny Holzer, THE PEOPLE
Light projections
Hirshhorn Museum and National Museum of American History, Washington D.C., 2023
Commissioned by the State Department’s Art in Embassies, the artwork lights up the National Mall with quotations spanning history that evoke the beauty of democracy.

Employer: Jenny Holzer Studio
Key moments:
  • Spearheaded the project development from artwork conceptualization to research, securing permissions, and on-site installation and troubleshooting;
  • Served as a key liaison between the artist, the client, curator, and production vendors; 
  • Managed an interdisciplinary team of researchers, IP consultant, designer, proofers, and vendors;
  • Organized research and content creation that involved collecting words from and cleared rights for over 100 text contributors.
