[Exhibition Opening Reception] Forms and Effects: Ukiyo-e to Anime
2017-02-01 17:00 - 19:00
[Berrie Center Galleries] Join us at the Berrie Center for the Opening Reception for this spring’s art exhibit entitled, Forms and Effects: Ukiyo-e to Anime.
Curator and Artists’ Talk starts at 6 p.m.
Co-curator Sydney Jenkins states that,“Forms and Effects: Ukiyo-e to Anime troubles stereotypical expectations for contemporary Asian art exhibitions which include aspects of anime and the related field of manga. Here viewers can experience a unique visual mix that ranges from 19th century prints in our Bukstein Collection, to a museum-collected Japanese master like Keiichi Tanaami, to personal and lyrical anime by Akino Kondoh. Tomokazu Matsuyama has worked from ukiyo-e prints, and exhibiting artists who incorporate anime imagery, such as Chinese painter Zhang Gong, may do so in unexpected and even subtle ways.”
