Related Companies - The Set
Curated by Sugarlift, artwork for The Set features a selection of contemporary artists anchored by the concept of the building itself: bold, unique, and cutting edge. As with the residents who bring The Set to life, this group of artists brings with it perspectives as dauntless as they are diverse. As residents migrate through The Set’s shared spaces of relaxation, work and play, and out into the city itself, artwork reflects the ebb and flow of urban life.

Artist spotlight: Jon Legere
Today we are catching up with artist Jon Legere. Legere is a Bermudian mixed media artist who works with video, paint, collage, photography, performance and sculpture. His work reconstructs the banality of the modern image.
In the Studio with Giorgio Petracci
Just meters away from his 10-year-old son’s elementary school in a small Eastern Paris suburb, sits Giorgio Petracci’s light-filled studio. Petracci, humble in his practice, shares his story of an idyllic-sounding childhood in a small Italian city, much like the quaint Fontenay-sous-Bois where he now resides. The contemporary artist explains how he eventually found his passion for painting and sculpture in the bustling hubs of Bologna and Paris.
How WIN and Sugarlift Brought Joy to Families at Related's Harriet Tubman Supportive Housing Building
On Tuesday, February 28th, 2023, the nonprofit Women in Need (WIN) in partnership with Sugarlift and Related Companies hosted an art unveiling at the Harriet Tubman Supportive Housing Building in Far Rockaway, New York. The building is home to a bright and bustling community of women and children, who, in 2022, transitioned out of homeless shelters into this amenitized space, with the support of WIN and Related staff. The building’s sunny playroom filled with books and games now features not only a sculptural installation and mural by esteemed artist duo CHIAOZZA, but also 25 kids’ colorful artwork, framed on a large wall for the entire community to see.
Speaking in Silk: Rice Fields of Memory Take Shape in “Kenny Nguyen: Home/land”
We had the pleasure of sitting down with Artist Kenny Nguyen to get an exclusive look into his creative process for his biggest installation to date. But what we thought would be a conversation on the creation and assembly of this colossal piece, standing 12 feet high and 30 feet wide, soon turned into a discussion of identity, transformation, and artistic release. Along with it, came an entirely new perception of not only Home/land but of Nguyen’s entire breadth of work.
