ABOUT THE INSTALLATION
RxART is thrilled to be working with Julia Chiang on a project for Maimonides Medical Center in Brooklyn. Chiang will create a universally welcoming entrance to the new Pediatric Emergency Department, which will be 17,000 square feet, approximately four times the size of the hospital’s current pediatric ER. RxART’s forthcoming project in the entrance and adjacent corridor will be highly impactful, as they are the first spaces patients and families generally experience upon arriving at the hospital. Chiang’s intricate and colorful paintings will serve as both a positive distraction and soothing presence to patients, families and providers as they enter the new Emergency Department.
ABOUT THE HOSPITAL
With over 700 inpatient beds, Maimonides Medical Center is the largest hospital, in the largest borough, in the largest city in the United States. Maimonides proudly serves a tremendously diverse population with patients who have arrived in Brooklyn from all over the world. Maimonides is the only pediatric trauma center in a borough with over 630,000 children. For acutely sick children, Maimonides has both a neonatal intensive care unit and a pediatric intensive care unit. The Pediatric Emergency Department provides acute care services to approximately 30,000 children each year.
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Julia Chiang (b. 1978, Atlantic City, New Jersey, USA) lives and works in Brooklyn. She is known for her detailed paintings which take flat-colour backgrounds as a setting for an intricate web of shapes and forms, flowing in converging directions and carefully constructed through layers of paint. Her work has also been shown at The Modern Institute (Glasgow), Nanzuka Gallery (Tokyo), Deitch Projects (New York), and OHWOW Gallery (Miami) among others. Chiang is an RxART Board Member and her project at Maimonides marks her second project with RxART.
