Joan Kee | Minimalism in Asia Major
Manage episode 319363136 series 2869255
Despite the significant role that Asian artists and Asia played in contemporary art, nearly every discussion of Minimalism fails to account for this. This lecture by art historian Joan Kee offers a maverick view of Minimalism, addressing how and why Asia and Asian artists mattered in relation to one of the most important art movements in the 20th century, as well as how contemporary art can be a fluid geography of imagination.
This lecture was possible with the support of the U.S. Embassy of Singapore recorded live in November 2018 at National Gallery Singapore, as part of the exhibition Minimalism: Space. Light. Object.
