Curatorial Walk Through Led by Joe Earl, Vice President and Gallery Director

Shibata Zeshin. Paper box and writing box with auspicious motifs (about 1860-70).

Shibata Zeshin
Raised in Tokyo’s artisan class, Shibata Zeshin (1807-1891) transformed the ancient art of lacquering and was among the first living Japanese artists recognized in Europe and America. As an obliquely political artist, a design radical and a sometimes reluctant champion of globalism, Zeshin's career offers intriguing parallels with the trajectory of some Asian artists today.

Back to the Garden: New Visions of 8 Contemporary Artists
Curated by Luchia M. H. Lee. An alternative manifesto: “Do not let the city space be handed to commercial advertisements alone; yet do not scorn Pop-Art, for it is the art most frequently presented to the people. Let art go forward from the museums into the open air. Do not let high art be absent from public spaces in the city. Let the mall turn out to be an art museum without walls."
