Hello, The following event may be of interest to you: Dr. Margo MachidaProfessor of Art History & Asian American StudiesUniversity of Connecticut Wednesday, October 28, 2015 This talk focuses on the Asia Pacific region and selected works by contemporary U.S.-based Asian American artists that engage themes of trans-Pacific circulation and global systems of cross-cultural exchange. Based on Dr. Machida’s current research in Hawai’i, this talk draws attention to islands as a generative framework to analyze and to compare art in the Asia Pacific region and the Americas. The Pacific, with more islands than the world’s other oceans combined, is above all an island realm. Accordingly Islands and associated oceanic imaginaries exert a powerful hold on works by artists who trace their ancestral origins to coastal East and Southeast Asia and Oceania. All are invited to this talk about these exciting contemporary artists. Time: 6:30 pm EDT/GMT-4 Location: Reem-Kayden Center Laszlo Z.
