Public Experiences
Working with artists whose works are not confined by institutional white boxes but are also activated on the street, I have organized and supported various multi-media public art projects and creative campaigns in New York, Los Angeles, 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:
- Oversaw end-to-end project development from artwork conceptualization and research to securing permissions, on-site installation and troubleshooting, and documentation;
- Served as a key liaison between the artist, and the curator, and the client, securing necessary green lights under a tight timeline;
- Managed an interdisciplinary team of researchers, IP consultants, designers, proofers, and vendors;
- Organized research and content creation that involved collecting words from and clearing rights for over 100 text contributors.
