• James Welling at Emory University Hospital

    14 May 2012 by Catherine Kim

    Last December, we held a fundraiser to help us complete an installation at Atlanta's Emory University Hospital. Thanks to the enormous response and outpouring of contributions from our supporters, we were able to install fourteen beautiful photographs by James Welling in the hospital's Department of Radiology and Imaging Sciences in April 2012.

    The photographs are from Welling's Glass House series, featuring Philip Johnson's eponymous house in New Canaan, Connecticut.  In each of the vibrant images, the single architectural site is transformed by nature and colored lenses. The photographs completely transform the space, turning the once sterile environment into a landscape of dreamy colors and images.

    Thank you to all our supporters for making this project possible! See more photos below.

  • RxArt Visits CT Scanner in Oak Lawn, IL

    03 January 2012 by Rena Stein

    I spent the holiday weekend in Chicago visiting family and while I was there I decided to take a side trip to see the Jeff Koons installation at Advocate Hope Children's Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois. I have seen many pictures of the installation but nothing could prepare me for seeing it in person--the colors are even more vibrant than they appear in photographs and the actual size of the CT scanner and the decals is much larger than I anticipated. 

    I could spot the room with the installation even from a distance, and as a nurse led me down the hall and to the room, I could see the colors spilling out into the hallway. I was completely taken aback when I entered the room and proceeded to spend quite a bit of time just taking everything in.  As someone who experiences anxiety when visiting the doctor or the hospital, I can only wish that every room could be like this one--I would feel a lot more positive about visiting the doctor or getting tests done if it could take place in such a colorful and cheerful setting!
