Thank You Ling Meng!

Collaboration & Curation

Several months back, Ling Meng (MA student at the San Francisco Art Institute), contacted me when I was a San Francisco Film Society FilmHouse resident to see if The Jerome Project wanted to collaborate in a special exhibition prior to her graduation.

This was part of her master's program. She was in charge of everything related to Jerome. Of course I said yes. Jerome received his MFA from SFAI.

Ling and I went through hundreds of archival slides, and together we created a colorful Jerome triptych from Anna van der Meulen's 35mm color slides. We had professional drum-scans made, printed high resolution versions of these images on metal, and displayed them for the very first time in this show, En((gender))ing Performance.

Jerome Triptych from the "3304 St. Clair Series"

This is one of my favorite photo series of Jerome! Because it came out so striking, the SFAI used the triptych on all the promotional material for this event.

Ling and I worked so well together that she became a committed volunteer on The Jerome Project and was instrumental in the launch of this website.
