6:30 pm: Dialogue with Artists

Ushio Shinohara and Tomokazu Matsuyama: Neo-Dada Mix / Remix

Come hear a lively discussion about Japanese culture and history between New York-based artists Ushio Shinohara (b. 1932) and Tomokazu Matsuyama (b. 1976). Shinohara made his iconic status as a Neo-Dada artist in Japan in the late 1950s and moved to New York in 1969. Following in Shinohara’s footsteps, Matsuyama, who has lived in New York since 2001, breaks-up, remixes, and reshapes images of Japanese art. Moderated by Asia Society Associate Curator Miwako Tezuka.

Cao Fei (b. 1978, China), a leading female artist of the post-Tiananmen generation, is known for her photographs and for her use of the virtual world of Second Life; Akino Kondoh (born 1980, Japan) made her debut with manga but is now considered an emerging talent in painting and video art; and Eko Nugroho (born 1977, Indonesia) is an influential artist who has generated a community of creative minds in his home country.
