As part of our ongoing research and commitment to public and socially-engaged art, DOEprojekts (Deborah Adams Doering and Glenn N. Doering), participated in a number of programs that have been conceptualized, designed, and supervised by a variety of international artists.
Creative Time and Kara Walker at the Domino Sugar Factory
Creative Time, NYC, commissioned artist Kara E. Walker to create a large installation at the soon-to-be demolished Domino Sugar Factory in Brooklyn, NY.
As two of approximately 40 volunteer "Wayfinders," we assisted public visitors in a variety of ways, providing information and/or a "listening ear" about Kara Walker's installation. We also helped protect and preserve the individual sculptural works.

We attended a number of different participatory workshops led by various international artists including: Carlito Calvarhosa, Michel Groisman, Ricardo Basbaum, and Jeanine Oleson. We thank these artists for the opportunity to learn and contribute in MoMA's educational studios and sculpture gardens. We trust that our experiences will enhance the upcoming public and social-engaged work of DOEprojekts.
