Artist Assistantship: Angiola Churchill

Professional Mentorship at the Incheon Women Artists' Biennale (2009)

A Collaborative Installation with an Renowned Artist & Educator. As a key initiative of the Leadership Through Art program, Oogie Art students traveled to Korea to serve as artist assistants for Angiola Churchill, the former Chair of NYU’s Department of Art. Students participated in the installation of her monumental work, Pandora's Box II, at the Incheon Women Artists' Biennale. This pivotal piece reimagined Greek mythology, reframing women not as agents of chaos, but as bearers of essential virtues: compassion, patience, and devotion.

Cultural Immersion & Global Insight: Beyond the exhibition site, students engaged in a curated cultural tour alongside Ms. Churchill, exploring Seoul’s premier art institutions, including the Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, and leading contemporary galleries. This program provided students with rare, hands-on experience in high-level exhibition production and global art leadership.
