CHANG YUCHEN

The installation In a Dream We Entered a Book was developed in collaboration with the artist Chang Yuchen. Public programs for Creativity Lab: Art of the Book are developed in collaboration with the Center for Book Arts, Dieu Donné, and Chang Yuchen.

Center for Book Arts promotes active explorations of artistic practices related to the book as an art object. Founded in 1974, Center for Book Arts is the oldest nonprofit dedicated to uplifting and furthering the book arts and book art through education, preservation, exhibition, art-making, and community building.

Dieu Donné was founded in 1976 and is the leading nonprofit cultural institution dedicated to serving emerging and established artists through the collaborative creation of contemporary art using the process of hand-papermaking.

Chang Yuchen works in an interdisciplinary manner—writing as weaving, drawing as translation, teaching as hospitality, commerce as social experiment, and publishing as a dandelion spreading its seeds. Her ongoing project Coral Dictionary is a writing system based on coral debris. Through translating visually, associatively, and emotively, a feral literacy takes shape. Yuchen is also an advocate for the art of her mother, Jin Mei.

The Crown Creativity Lab is a participatory space activated by local partner organizations, artists, and MoMA visitors. Each project is inspired by art on view and invites creativity, personal reflection, and exchange with others. The Creativity Lab is intended for all visitors. We cannot accommodate groups larger than five people.
