When the Center’s Web component goes live in March, one of the most integral parts will be a virtual tour of The Dinner Party. The virtual tour and panorama are being produced by 360VR Studio, a firm specializing in this type of photography. Jook Leung, 360VR’s founder and photographer, is shown here with his special equipment that will capture this installation. Thanks to Jook’s assistant Peter Barnett for taking this photo of Jook in action.
Jook and the Center’s curator, Maura Reilly, review the first set of photographs that will eventually be stitched together to become the virtual tour.
We are very happy to be working with Jook and his team! You can check out more of his work here.

This February, our focus is women in the art world. On the occasion of major shows, books, and conferences on feminist art at the Museum of Modern Art, the Brooklyn Museum, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, we assess the state of feminist art today. We interview renowned scholar Linda Nochlin, co-curator of the inaugural exhibition at the Elizabeth A. Sackler Center for Feminist Art opening at the Brooklyn Museum. And we profile Korean-born artist Kimsooja, whose labor-intensive fabric projects, performances, and installations comment on female identity and exile.
