A Tribute to Barbara DeGenevieve:

Last time I saw Barbara was in Chicago in February, 2014. She sat there across the table, and I could feel she was such a powerful woman spiritually and physically. She was the same Barbara I always knew, except she wore a scarf wrapped around her head because she lost all her beautiful white hair after chemotherapy. Yes, she said, Miao you may have heard that I have cancer. She told me that she was waiting for another major surgery in April, and then she was planning to come to New York for museum shows and her art projects. She knew I have my own studio/home in Brooklyn, and I’ve always told her whenever she feels like a visit to NYC, she should stay with me. This time Barbara seemed very positive. She said, Miao I will definitely come to NY after the surgery, and I want to make a piece of art together with you in your studio. She didn’t know exactly what she wanted to do, but she had a plan that we would setup video cameras, and prepare enough food, and stay together for 24 hours without sleep. Within those 24 hours, we would discuss, decide and make something happen. My major concern was so realistic. I told her I was not sure if I could handle 24 hours without sleep. She laughed at me, and said, Miao you must be kidding me, you’ve never pulled an all-nighter? I looked at her. She was 67 years old, and she was actually very sick.

I went back to New York. I didn’t dare to ask about her surgery, but I was positive and waited for her to contact me. And I was always ready for this 24-hour challenge. In the middle of the summer, I was told that Barbara died.

Miao Jiaxin studio is now announcing its 24-hour project Blind Meeting In Bushwick. As a lucky student, as a courageous artist, as a simple person, Miao Jiaxin owes so much to Barbara DeGenevieve.
