  • Touchstone Gallery 901 New York Avenue NW Washington D.C 20001 United States (map)

Jenny Wu transforms materials from their original forms and purpose to present them within new contextsβ€”in this exhibition, she presents sculptural work created from liquid paint. To create this series, she pours a thick coat of latex paint one color at a time on a glass surface, letting each color dry completely, and repeating the process many times. She then cuts the dried paint to reveal the layers of cross-section, which is used to assemble sculptures on a flat surface. 

πŸ‘€πŸŽ¨πŸœ also includes her ongoing project Art for the People, \’tΓΌ\, a participatory art project that addresses diversity and inequality issues. Wu gives away individually made small sculptures, and asks for a photo of where the recipient installs it. Now in its eighth year, she has given away more than a thousand pieces of original art.

This is the solo exhibition at the culmination of Wu’s 2018-2022 Touchstone Foundation for the Arts Fellowship.
