Artists in New York: The Virtual Asian American Art Museum

UPDATE: This event has reached full capacity. If additional tickets become available, they will be released on Eventbrite. We will do our best to seat as many walk-in guests as capacity allows. 

To mark the launch of the Virtual Asian American Art Museum, we present “Artists in New York,” a two-panel symposium, highlighting Asian American artists who lived and worked in New York during the twentieth century. The panels, “An Asian American Modern in New York” and “Postwar Asian Diasporic Artists in New York,” will explore how New York served as an important local and transnational hub for artists like Fluxus, Yayoi Kusama, Zarina Hashmi, Yasuo Kuniyoshi, Roger Shimomura, Martin Wong, Tseng Kwong Chi, and Epoxy Art Group.
