U.S.-China Art Dialogue, hosted by the China-United States Exchange Foundation (CUSEF), in partnership with the Chinese People's Association for Friendship with Foreign Countries (CPAFFC) and the UCCA Center for Contemporary Art.
Join Gagosian for a conversation inside the exhibition My Anxious Self, the most comprehensive survey of paintings by the late Tetsuya Ishida(1973–2005) to have been staged outside of Japan, and the first-ever exhibition of his work in New York. Alexandra Munroe, senior curator at large, Global Arts, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum and Foundation, will speak with Tomiko Yoda, Takashima Professor of Japanese Humanities at Harvard University, in a conversation moderated by exhibition curator Cecilia Alemani. The trio will discuss the societal context in which Ishida developed his work, the artist’s striking representations of the challenges of contemporary life, and his unflinching view of his contemporaries’ inward escape into highly consumable popular media.
Time: 6:30pm
Location: Gagosian, 555 West 24th Street, New York
