DAN GRAHAM: BEYOND

MOCA GRAND AVENUE

The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA)

Business Proposal

Creating the business proposal for the DAN GRAHAM: BEYOND exhibition was a multi-faceted undertaking and I had to opportunity to work with other departments in the museum. I collaborated closely with MOCA Curator Bennett Simpson and Exhibition Research Assistant Christine Robinson to represent this ground-breaking structural artist in his first national exhibition.  I produced the exhibition overview to include the introduction, biography, highlights, and key works of the artist. This involved creating the copy and arranging the layout for the imagery, captions, use of typography, and artwork. I received commedation from Bennett Simpson for the accurate depictions of the artist.

Collaborating closely with Development, we created the branding, marketing, and public relations strategy for the national exhibition. I created the sponsorship overview to present the museum’s branding and event opportunities to the client.  It is  illustrated in clear and concise bullet points.  While working independently on this project, I have also worked closely with Design, Production, Education, and Marketing departments to secure complete information and compose various sections of the proposal.

Published in print and on the web, LReport includes analysis of trends in style and prestige. These components include Mind Shift, Style Movements, Top 10 Style Brands, and City Snapshots. The Style Panel Survey produced in collaboration with Surface Magazine provided data analysis to support our findings.

I wrote and produced the City Snapshots and Top 10 Style Brands for Tokyo and New York editions. This project involved interviewing randomly selected influencers in the art, design, fashion, and technology and electronic industries.

The interviews provided insight in how people lived, what they desired, and what key purchases they made in their city.

I composed a series of features spanning fashion, technology, restaurants, local hangout, entertainment, shops, and spirits.

The LReport produces City Snapshots worldwide including New York , Tokyo, and London as wells as Los Angeles and San Francisco.

Ralph Lauren’s Palace Opens In Paris

Ralph Lauren’s lavish new three-level hôtel particulier on Avenue Montaigne is so Parisian chic it is easy to forget the American brand’s casual heritage. With almost 6,500 square feet, this is the largest Ralph Lauren store in the world devoted exclusively to women’s wear and the first opening in Paris since the Ralph Lauren set up shop on the Place de la Madeleine in 1986.

“Paris has long inspired me for its timeless beauty and rich history. Avenue Montaigne is one of the world’s great shopping streets and the perfect location to showcase our women’s collection,” says Ralph Lauren. The mannequin in the window dressed in sleek black leggings, a soigné blanket plaid blouson and beret pierced with a dramatically long feather are trademark pieces of the store.

The 18th-century building was once the home and atelier of the 1920s couturier Madeleine Vionnet. The design team worked extensively with local artisans for the French limestone floor studded with cabochons, molded plaster detailing and sweeping staircase. Original art and crystal chandeliers greet you at the entrance and reinforce the Parisian home feeling.

The store’s ground floor is devoted to accessories, including the “Ricky” bag, which is offered exclusively to order here in 15 shades of crocodile, and the second floor is a showcase for collection pieces including an opulent evening-wear salon.

The Stag

The folks in Hampstead attest that the succulent aroma of organic homemade burgers and beer on tap draws them in for an evening at The Stag headed by executive chef, Andrew Perritt. Even with London’s impressive sprawl of gastro pubs, this one ranks at the top of the list because the relaxing cabanas in a gorgeous garden make a great casual hideaway for a first date.

Gifted with a beautiful patio and a rich wood-paneled warm interior, The Stag is an ideal den for all seasons. Tall grasses and palm trees line the entry and lead to intimate ‘love seats’ near a row of fresh herbs. Highlights from the menu include the New Mexican burger and the Organic Chicken and Chorizo Salad. Sip a mojito or two with your date, gather mint leaves at your leisure, and you will surely be dazzled by the vintage 1960’s art deco chandeliers. In the winter you will want to relax on oversized black Italian leather banquettes under large red lampshades, while the Cooper Beech logs flanking in the fireplace creates a cozy living room. The traditional maple bar encases a selection of fine wines and liquor. The famed Sunday Roast draws a strong fan following. A fine selection of 12 British cheeses includes Cropwell Bishop, Cornish Blue, Stinking Bishop, and Yarg at the bar.

The Stag is a cozy, classical gastro-pub experience in London’s Hampstead quarter.

She is a very talented multi-media painter. I find true inspiration from her.

This is the biography I created for website.

The radiance and energy shine in Suzy Q’s career as an emerging artist and visual art educator.  She holds a double Bachelor of Fine Arts from Emily Carr University of Art and Design and a Bachelor of Education from University of British Columbia.  After graduation she spent several rewarding years teaching art to children while perfecting her unique painting technique.  In 2004 she became the Visual Artist and Creative Director where she created custom paintings for an interior design agency and directed the art production.

Her commitment to mentoring aspiring artist only became stronger when she enrolled in the Steinhardt School of Education at New York University.  After graduating with honors in Master of Arts in Art Education in 2006, she became the Production Leader for Kaikai Kiki New York, LLC and worked under the direction of Takashi Murakami, a prolific contemporary Japanese artist in fine arts and digital and commercial media.  Proving to be a great leader in Murakami’s studio, she successfully managed the delicate balance of color and a refined painting application, known as Superflat, to all forms of media.  She exhibited a meticulous eye for the highest quality in the artwork and project management.

Currently residing in New York, Suzy continues to paint at her studio.  In her earliest series, she draws upon the experience of transforming the banal and attempts to find beauty in the everyday experience, from a simple spring blossom to a weeping willow and its architectural structures. More recently her panels are rich with gestures subtly display representative yet abstract images like suggestion of youth and play transfigured by lavish markings and innate gestures. She expanded her skill set to embrace lush, fluorescent colors, multiple glazes, metal use and needle strokes to create the texture of playfulness and whimsy.  Her paintings are often described powerful and luminous. They allow the viewer a glimpse of an imaginative aesthetic and a heightened sense of depth and insight into the artist’s personal vision of the world around her. The series Tokki Jjang (Super Rabbit) and Serious Boys and Girls have aptly captured this playful energy and explores the nuances of light and darkness in a surreal quality.

A series of paintings have been featured in the Nature Conservancy’s benefit Auction for three consecutive years. Suzy is the recipient of several national and international awards including the Scholarship for North American Scholars from New York University. Her work can be found in a selected number of private and corporate collections in Canada, Great Britain, South Korea and the United States. Currently, Suzy is preparing upcoming shows in New York City and Vancouver.
