Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001)
Exhibition at the 80WSE Gallery
New York University
80 Washington Square E
New York, NY 10003
Through Dec 20, 2024
Arakawa’s painting, Sketches for An Anatomy of the Signified or If…, 1975, is now on view at 80WSE gallery’s group exhibition, Legacies: Asian American Art Movements in New York City (1969-2001). Organized by Howie Chen (Curator), Jayne Cole Southard (PhD., CUNY) and Christina Ong, PhD, the exhibition gathers archival materials and artworks that goes beyond the representational label of “Asian American.” Taking an interdisciplinary and research approach, the exhibition explores how artists of Asian descent have denoted their identities “amidst transnational diasporas, racial phantasms, and political imaginaries.” Along with Arakawa’s piece, over 90 other artists and collectives of Asian descent, based in New York City, share their work at this first institutional survey exhibition.
