DESCRIPTION

Fit to Print

In 2016 I curated and installed an exhibition entitled Fit to Print at the Tomi Ungerer Museum in Strasbourg, France. On view from January to April 2016, the exhibition featured personal artworks, NYTimes editorial illustration, and collaborative publications by 17 young graduates of the Haute école des arts du Rhin (HEAR) in Strasbourg. The show later traveled to New York in March 2017.
