We recently stopped by the New Museum to check out their latest artistic installation in the main lobby. Entitled She’s Crafty, this holiday pop up project gives 13 female artists a few days to bring their talents to share with museum goers. From Dec 12th to Dec 16th, Julia Chiang took stage and brought a mini temporary studio space where she created a host of works demonstrating a wide spectrum of her talents including her signature drip canvases and sculptures. One of our favorite pieces featured her inviting the audience to contribute one word that came to mind heading into the new year. She then selected certain words and painted them onto the canvas. In addition, Julia also had another interactive work where the audience wrote their version of “I Love You” on a single piece of paper. Check out the New Museum Store (here) to see the upcoming artists in the next few weeks as this project runs until January 20th.
