Artists from around the globe have been invited to create new art or adapt a work for placement in the Skirball Lobby
In 1970, The Jewish Museum presented Using Walls, an exhibition of commissioned artworks installed both within and beyond the gallery space of the museum's Warburg Mansion. Forty-four years later, the museum revisits this idea in Using Walls, Floors, and Ceilings, a series of artist commissions initiated in 2013. Artists from around the globe have been invited to create new art or adapt a work for placement in the Skirball Lobby. Installations will be changed twice each year through 2016, with future artists including Mel Bochner and Willem de Rooij. The series is curated by Jens Hoffmann, Deputy Director, Exhibitions and Public Programs, and Joanna Montoya, Neubauer Family Foundation Assistant Curator. (Image: Claire Fontaine, Tears, 2013.
