As the chief executive of Phillip Lim 3.1, Wen Zhou knows how to harness her power. That’s why she turned the Phillip Lim 3.1 boutique on New York’s Great Jones Street into an exhibition space for Crafting Selfhood, a group show co-curated by Lora Appleton and Karen Wong that puts a spotlight on the work of 13 Asian American female artists and designers. 'If I don't, who will?' asked the CEO during the opening. 'I feel that it is my job, my duty. If I have a platform, I'm going to use it.'
On view until 23 May 2024, Crafting Selfhood runs in conjunction with both AAPI Heritage Month and New York Design Week. An assemblage of ceramics and sculpture, the exhibition features exhibits by Janny Beak, Cecile Chong, Phaan Howng, Lena Imamura, Sonya Yong James, Myung Jin Kim, Antonia Kuo, Eunji Jun and Halin Lee, Eny Lee Parker, Linda Sormin, and Steffany Trần.
