Xenobia Bailey takes a moment to relax inside a Mickalene Thomas installation at Lehmann Maupin’s West 26^th Street  gallery in New York.  Ms. Bailey was there in celebration of Thomas’s exhibit How to Organize a Room Around a Striking Piece of Art and appeared in good spirits despite the fact Hurricane Sandy destroyed the storage space containing her artwork and materials. Last year the Wall Street Journal reported that Ms. Bailey was being commissioned by the city of New York to create an installation for the new 7 line subway station at 34^th Street between 10^th and 11^th Avenue. Ms. Bailey told BlackArtistNews that the installation is scheduled to be unveiled in 2014.
