THE PHILLIPS COLLECTION | WASHINGTON, DC, USA

Intersections@5 at The Phillips Collection celebrates the fifth anniversary of Intersections, a contemporary art series that has invited 21 major international artists to engage with the museum’s collection and architecture.

Inaugurated in 2009, the series explores the intriguing intersections between old and new traditions, modern and contemporary art practices, and museum spaces and artistic interventions.

The artists have created diverse projects – both aesthetically and conceptually – and employed various media and approaches from wall-drawing, rubber-painting, bicycle spoke sculpture, and digital photography to video projection and yarn installation.

Featured artists include A. Balasubramaniam (India), Lee Boroson (US), Sandra Cinto (Brazil), Jae Ko (Korea-US), Jennifer Wen Ma (China), Linn Myers (US), Bernardi Roig (Spain), John F. Simon, Jr. (US), and Xavier Veilhan (France), among others.
