Van Alen Institute Announces New York Prize FellowsVan Alen Institute announced seven recipients of the 2008-2009 New York Prize.
Now in its second year, the New York Prize Fellowship was established to bring practitioners and scholars to Van Alen Institute's headquarters in New York City to pursue and present advanced independent projects on the most significant issues shaping the conception, design and use of public space today.
Internationally renowned artist and architect Maya Lin has been awarded the New York Prize Senior Fellowship.
Appointed Senior Fellows are accomplished thinkers, artists and practitioners who have a demonstrated record of exceptional work and are identified as leaders in their fields.
During her tenure as Senior Fellow, Lin will further develop Missing - a project she describes as her "last memorial" that will "focus attention on species and places that have gone extinct or will most likely disappear within our lifetime."
In addition to Lin, six New York Prize Resident Fellowships were selected through a competitive open application process.
