I have searched the internet over and cannot find any contact information for Maya Lin Studios. I am an interior designer for a big name healthcare interior design firm in California. We have designed a women's health center which will incorporate an art installation featuring "Contemporary Women of Distinction", including Maya Lin. We're trying to contact her office for artwork (a high resolution photograph) to be incorporated into this wall. Does anyone out there know of any way of contacting her or her studio? I keep hitting dead ends. PLEASE HELP!!!

this brings back many of the issues exposed durring the last go round about interior design versus architecture.
what if Ms. Lin refuses to participate?
WHY waste wall space with photos of 'women of distinction' (your idea is predicable and pedestrian that it's tacky) when you could just commission one of these women to make a real piece of art for your project???? or just follow the lead of time magazine and stick a mirror up in a nicely captioned frame...

Turns out all they want is a photo. that's sad!

I have seen many mediocre attempts to celebrate people of distinction with plaques, photos or their names carved into bricks scattered around the country. this isn't just a problem of interior designers lacking imagination, but also of architects, 'scapers and urbanistas looking for a cheap 'decorative' theme.
Please don't waste Ms. Lin's time asking for a photo, I would rather she spends her time making good art.
if a more equitable society is your goal, then a few dozen photos in a clinic won't make a real impact. hire some disavantaged kids to paint a mural - there are lots of great organizations in Cali that have beautified our streets and overpasses with murals. that would be real, authentic and make a huge difference for the community.

I read the original post as the person wanting to buy a print of Maya Lin's artwork to add to the wall, not necessarily a portrait of Ms. Lin. Maybe I read incorrectly, but in going back, I can't tell. It is true that some people object to being lumped together as "Women professionals" as opposed to just "professionals." Still, there's no way to know unless you ask.
In itself, it's not at all insulting to purchase an existing edition of a print of an artist's work rather than commissioning something brand new (whether the print *is* the original artwork, or it is a reproduction of flatwork or a 2-d representation of a 3-d/time-based piece.)

It says something about this sharkkitty, who ever she/he is.
and another thought is....why is it that she/he wasn't told....."have you done a search at the bottom of the page yet" as is most cases when someone asks about something that has been already discussed or placed on a thread.
I still agree with tree:
Ms Lin is phenomenal, and should not be bothered for 'just a photo' of her or her work, but instead should be asked to design something for the space (if that's what they want).
or the latter suggestion of tree's - that of underprivilaged kids.....beautiful idea.

If it were any other profession, the person being honored would say, "Sure, take a portrait. Thanks for the recognition." But because we are high-minded architects and every such decision is a matter of art and professional intergrity, we have to rattle on about this for an afternoon. If Lin doesn't want to contribute, she can say no. sharkkitty doesn't need anyone telling him/her what an awful idea it is. And who's to say this firm can't do something really beautiful with their work? I'd like to think the best of our colleagues on this forum.

First of all, I realize why interior designers don't like architects. Most of you are real jerks. Secondly, the idea came from the president of my firm who has been doing innovative healthcare design for over thirty years. In fact, she's led the field and has written numerous books and articles on the subject, including ones you might have had to study in architecture school. Thank you bakema for having the integrity to make a positive contribution in furthering the general public's understanding of how women (and men) in design can impact our society. It may be a small "pedestrian" display, but the client is thrilled, the client selected the women who will be included, and the concept fits into the client's budget. Isn't good design, after all, creating a meaningful space that meets the client's needs?

Pedestrian, tacky and bourgeois.

The ghetto is where it's at - ok maybe not in SD, but up in LA, the best parts of town to be an architect have great murals- silverlake, downtown, echo park, venice, san pedro... so why doesn't beverly hills have any? anything would be better then their status quo 10' white walled anti-social statements surrounding every house.

Too many people throw out murals as a band aid for a broken community as a way to try and help with a loss of identity and life.
They are suggested by people trying to help "fix" a problem that a mural will never fix.
While I appreciate the work of the WPA muralists and Diego particularly, even the ruined freeway art in L.A., the mural has become just another symbol of the culture of poverty ... in my own personal opinion.
I am also a photographer, so my observations may differ from yours. In my experiences in Paris, Pittsburgh, Manchester and even San Diego the mural symbolizes a communities unhappiness with itself and seldom "improves" the environment.
The light in L.A. is amazig though, so I'm sure that helps there.

maybe you can take the photos for the original poster's wall o'women.
Ok, murals are just a band aid and temporary summer camp for a few kids, but it's better then letting them gangbang. the murals in my old hood tended to be respected by the local taggers and most of the non-gringo residents. Beyond murals, there are some really good programs in LA, like Homeboy Industries that does more then paint walls and is making a difference in those kids lives. So it's worth looking into what local art resources are available and try to be local. Local is good and will mean more to the people using the clinic then any wall of photos.

But you need a famous person's touch to get some publicity treekiller. That's how it works with these working the system jobs. Get maya Lin and get AIA chapter award and get an article in trade journal or in local newspaper. Clever huh?
I think the act of an architect moving into a depressed neighborhood and bringing with him the attitude and ability to see ways to change the environment would have a greater affect than any mural ever would.
Graffitti murals are wonderful deviations on the mural idea. But while I see the value in giving the grafitti kids a place to paint, ANY program would have a positive effect and that's why it works. Give them anything to do and it will help.
There are smart creative people who have found a way to harness hip hop and redirect it into a positive mode of expression in the community and thats totally cool. But these murals litter the environment like so much cheap well meaning jewelry and grow to surrounding walls and areas as the artists advance their skills in the artform.
I take issue with the fact that when people talk about trying to address a bad environment or help a community they still, after all these years, wheel out that tired old mural idea.
They look like crap and tattoo the neighborhood in ways that many residents hate. The act of creating them is positive, the effect they have on the environment as decaying symbols is negative.
I should mention that I love graffitti as an art form. I think it rocks but I also recognize its effect on the world we live in.
As far as the idea of honor successful women goes. Its a womens clinic, its supposed to honor and support the community of women.

Hi, I'm a student in ceramics and we are doing a research project of an artist. I am researching about Maya Lin and her art works, but there isn't that much information abouher. I have some question for her, however I need her contact info. SO PLEASE HELP ME !!!
QUESTION FOR MAYA LIN:
1)how is your life like as an artist?
2)Where did you learn your artistic skills from?
3)Who were your mentors that inspired you to be an artist?
4)What techniques and material do you use in you art work?
5) What is your most proud collection or exihibition in your art life?
PLS HELP ME TO CONTACT MAYA LIN
PS. I know its a short notice but it's due by sunday night.....
