SUMMARY:Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon
DESCRIPTION:In celebration of Asia Society’s seventieth anniversary\, Asia Society Museum presents Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon: Celebrating 70 Years of Asia Society and the Rockefeller Legacy. \nDisplaying seventy of the finest examples of Asian art in the United States drawn from Asia Society’s permanent collection\, the exhibition showcases the extraordinary range of bronzes\, ceramics\, and metalwork thoughtfully assembled between the 1950s and the 1970s by John D. Rockefeller 3rd (1906-1978) and his wife Blanchette Hooker Rockefeller (1909-1992). John D. Rockefeller 3rd founded Asia Society in 1956 with the mission to promote greater knowledge of Asia in the United States; the bequest of the collection to Asia Society in 1979 underscores the Rockefellers’ conviction that an aesthetic encounter with great works of art promotes deep cross-cultural understanding. \nWith highlights including spectacular Buddhist and Hindu sculptures\, and rare Chinese\, Korean\, and Japanese ceramics\, Buddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon celebrates historic achievements in Asian art spanning more than two millennia. The exhibition foregrounds the transformative power of faith and the catalyzing potential of international trade in the creation of great works of art across Asia. \nBuddha and Shiva\, Lotus and Dragon presents a special opportunity for museum visitors to experience the unparalleled quality of the Mr. and Mrs. John D. Rockefeller Thrid Collection at its home at Asia Society Museum in New York City.

SUMMARY:Shu Lea Cheang\, LOVER LOVE
DESCRIPTION:LOVER LOVE\, a new commission for the Leslie-Lohman Museum of Art by Shu Lea Cheang\, begins with a portal. A window is flung open and the gray wall of an apartment block dissolves into a turbulent\, overcast sky\, against which a smoky being is enveloped by a six-winged seraphim—an angel of the highest order. \nThis opening transition is both a gesture to Cheang’s longtime collaborator\, musician Aérea Negrot (1980–2023)\, who died by suicide\, and a marker of an entry into a hybrid space of documentation and imagination. For this film\, presented as a four-channel installation\, Cheang worked with eight intergenerational performers in Tucson\, Arizona\, all of whom contributed their own experiences\, narratives\, and dreams of and for trans and gender nonconforming life in today’s United States. \nThis collaboratively scripted film moves between physical and virtual space: between performances in a motel room\, a junkyard\, and city streets amid surrounding nature\, we can see desert plants blooming anthropomorphic appendages and souls escaping inhuman oppression to take transhuman flight. \nThe gallery’s four screens\, themselves portals to the film’s world\, can be shifted by viewers into and out of the path of each projector. Each movement triggers a segment of Negrot’s 2011 track “It’s Lover\, Love”—a dreamy\, minimalist meditation on the lingering traces of broken promises and vanished love. These aural and physical shifts create new compositions\, morphing the installation into an active landscape in which to navigate agency\, survival\, and intimacy in a time of escalating political precarity.

SUMMARY:Bangladesh Not "Bhaangadesh"
DESCRIPTION:This exhibition explores how Bangladeshis in Bangladesh and beyond took actions during the 2024 mass uprisings against the quota system in place\, since 1972\, immediately after the birth of the country in 1971. Featuring articles such as printed international artworks by Bangladeshi artists\, handcrafted tools\, and relevant media\, the exhibition serves as a homage to learn\, reflect\, discuss\, and heal. \nBangladesh\, Not “Bhaangadesh” seeks to raise social (in)justice awareness through showcasing Bangladeshi artistic expression\, and persistent crimes against humanity from the summer of 2024–of government-implemented curfews\, with “shoot-on-sight” commands\, country-wide internet revoked\, houses raids\, innocent lives taken\, and unnecessary arrests made\, etc. After decades of corruption and nepotism\, Bangladeshi students stood up against the unjust quota system of prioritizing government positions rather than basing hiring on skill\, talent\, and merit–for descendants of ancestors prominent in the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971.

SUMMARY:Exhibition: Ed Young’s Bright Worlds
DESCRIPTION:For over 60 years\, Ed Young (1931–2023) invigorated the world of children’s books through intimate storytelling\, inventive artistry\, and potent emotionality. This first U.S. retrospective features original artwork from 15 of his most significant projects—focusing on works drawn from his personal story and Chinese folktales—alongside a selection of his sketchbooks\, family photos\, and personal effects. \nYoung achieved distinction as a beloved storyteller and illustrator who challenged younger audiences with pictorial and moral complexity. He was a towering figure in children’s literature\, reaching wide audiences while earning the field’s top honors. His retelling of the Chinese “Little Red Riding Hood\,” Lon Po Po\, introduced generations of children to Chinese folklore and won the Caldecott Medal; he also received two Caldecott Honors for earlier works. Across his career\, he garnered numerous accolades\, including multiple selections for The New York Times’ “10 Best Illustrated Children’s Books” list. \nThe exhibition traces Young’s family life in Shanghai\, where he was the fourth youngest of five children. As a teenager\, he and his brother were sent to live in Hong Kong to flee the civil war in China. He immigrated to America for college\, eventually earning an art degree from the ArtCenter School in Los Angeles\, and then moved to New York. “I set out with $20 borrowed money in my pocket to bet my life in New York City\,” he wrote. After being laid off from an advertising studio\, he submitted sketches to children’s book publisher Ursula Nordstrom\, who hired him to illustrate The Mean Mouse and Other Mean Stories (1962)\, launching a career that would span over 100 books. \nHis most memorable projects were deeply personal. Ed Young’s Bright Worlds guides viewers through key moments of his life and oeuvre with original artwork from The House Baba Built (2011)\, about his childhood in Japan-occupied Shanghai; Voices of the Heart (1997)\, exploring Chinese culture through the relationship between writing\, image and his lifelong tai chi practice; My Mei Mei (2006)\, on adopting his daughters; and Bright World (2024)\, a book published posthumously in China\, meditating on the cyclical nature of life. \n“So many of us grew up on Ed Young’s art and storytelling\,” said Herb Tam\, MOCA’s Chief Curator. “This exhibition will reveal what went into crafting masterworks of the children’s book form. Visitors will be enchanted by his fluent handling of media—from pastel and cut paper to pen\, ink\, and collage—and inspired by his story as a resourceful immigrant striving to make his mark in a creative field.” \n“As a father of three\, I’ve seen firsthand how children’s books shape the way we see the world\,” said Michael Lee\, MOCA’s President. “The imagery and storytelling stay with us—they become part of our family conversations\, our imaginations\, and even the way we share stories later in life. It’s a special honor to explore the life and mind of Ed Young\, whose work has inspired generations. Through this exhibition\, we not only celebrate his extraordinary achievements but also revisit how deeply his art was shaped by his journey as a Chinese American—reflecting his early life in China and the graceful balance he found as a lifelong practitioner of tai chi.” \nEd Young’s Bright Worlds is part of MOCA’s Luminaries for America250\, a yearlong celebration of Chinese American historymakers at the Semiquincentennial.

SUMMARY:John Pai - Meditation: Myth and Memory
DESCRIPTION:Gallery Hyundai is pleased to present “Meditation: Myth and Memory”\, an exhibition of Korean American sculptor John Pai\, a major force in the Korean American diaspora of the last half-century. The opening reception takes place on Thursday September 10\, 6-8pm at Gallery Hyundai New York Project Space. \nThis exhibition seeks to provide a space for meditation where myth and memory\, as in Pai’s world\, could be considered as companions—at times synchronous\, and at times on their own path\, but never stagnant. Centering around his two major series Heaven and Earth (2024) and Entropy’s Sirens (1997) trio\, it marks the first occasion the trio is presented as a group including two previously unseen pieces\, also accompanied by a selection of sculptures and drawings. \nNotably in the Heaven and Earth series\, a single point becomes a line\, then a form\, and appears to trail off to gesture to the space around it\, going past the artist’s agency and into another realm. This work manifests Pai’s guiding ethos\, where the artist’s mind (and the memories and ideas contained within the artist) inform his beginning but the work ultimately develops in conversation with the material and work’s own response. This conversational and improvisational method demonstrates Pai’s understanding that memories are not stable but shift with the everchanging present\, sometimes appearing closer to myth rather than reality. Completed when Pai was eighty-seven years old\, this grouping of sculptures reveal an artist in his maturity who still remains playful and deeply curious. \nPai is gaining heightened recognition for his indisputable contributions to sculpting with steel as well as his groundbreaking pedagogical methods since becoming the youngest appointed professor at Pratt Institute in 1965\, eventually becoming the director of fine art\, then chairman of the sculpture department\, a post he remained in for thirty-seven years. Referred to as “drawing in space\,” his signature use of numerous thin\, short steel rods with a hand-held welding tool reflected Pai’s active engagements with burgeoning movements in postwar New York such as the American Bauhaus and Neo-Avant-Garde. Pai’s sculptures are born out of a dynamic field of inquiry\, unbridled by discipline\, such as topology\, physics\, phenomenology\, and musical processes of improvisation. Following his major retrospective exhibition held in April 2024 at the Korean Cultural Center in New York called John Pai: Eternal Moment and his solo exhibition Shared Destinies at Gallery Hyundai in Seoul later that year\, this presentation is an opportunity for closer examination of Pai’s guiding ethos; a process of intimate surrender\, both with materials\, as well as his relationship to the world.

SUMMARY:Theresa Hak Kyung Cha: Multiple Offerings
DESCRIPTION:Artists Space presents “Multiple Offerings”\, the first retrospective in twenty-five years dedicated to the groundbreaking work of the artist Theresa Hak Kyung Cha. She produced an expansive range of works comprising performances for film and video\, installation\, photography\, artist’s books (including her genre-defying book Dictée from 1982)\, and works on paper\, which will fill Artists Space’s entire first floor. In her lifetime\, Cha contributed to experimental art scenes in New York City\, San Francisco\, Paris\, and beyond. Her work has had a quietly profound influence on subsequent generations of artists. \nAfter emigrating from South Korea to the United States\, Cha enrolled at UC Berkeley in 1969\, where she studied art practice\, comparative literature\, and film. Keenly attuned to the active role that audiences play in the creation of meaning\, she prioritized nonlinear narratives to allow for more open-ended forms of interpretation—what she termed a method of “Multiple Telling with Multiple Offering.” This retrospective adopts her framework to allow for a range of entry points into the work\, guiding visitors through the themes—memory\, displacement\, and the mutability of language\, among others—that recur in Cha’s oeuvre. \nCha moved to New York City in 1980\, where she supported herself with several jobs while pursuing her artistic career. She worked as an administrative assistant in the European Sculpture and Decorative Arts Department at the Metropolitan Museum of Art\, taught video art at Elizabeth Seton College in Yonkers\, and served as an editor at Tanam Press\, a publishing imprint dedicated to artists’ books that was founded by her friend and collaborator Reese Williams. \nOn November 5\, 1982\, Cha’s short but prolific career came to an end when she was murdered just weeks before her planned exhibition at Artists Space. At the time of her death\, Cha was producing a new photographic series inspired by her time working at the Met. Multiple Offerings presents that unfinished series of black-and-white prints alongside nearly one hundred artworks and archival materials from across her career\, highlighting the inventive\, playful\, and meditative methods of Cha’s practice.

SUMMARY:Afterlayers: Tai Hwa Goh & Julia Kwon
DESCRIPTION:Opening reception: Thursday\, September 17\, 2026\, 5-7pm \nTwo artists transform traditional materials–textile and paper–to explore themes of identity and memory. Tai Hwa Goh creates intricate\, layered installations from printed and cut paper\, inspired by organic forms\, landscapes\, and the relationship between the interior and exterior. Goh’s process pushes the limits of traditional printmaking\, as she modifies the characteristics of paper and thin fabric by covering with batik or ironing thin sheets of beeswax onto her prints\, deliberately obscuring the underlying images. She then uses techniques like sewing\, gluing\, and manipulating printed materials to construct intricate\, honeycomb-like structures. Found objects seamlessly integrate into the work\, reflecting the blending of the personal and the universal\, as well as natural and artificial elements.Through this process\, the imagery gradually moves away from recognizable forms\, and the dense layers serve as a space where nature\, memory\, and personal experience intertwine. Her installations invite viewers to contemplate the balance between the natural world and human existence\, and how everyday moments can reveal deeper insights into our lives. \nJulia Kwon sews interpretive Korean textiles\, specifically in the form of patchwork bojagi (Korean object-wrapping cloth)\, to critique received notions of Asiatic femininity and challenge reductive\, easily legible identities. Although her bojagi textiles may initially be perceived as traditionally Korean\, the patchwork designs are actually derived from urgent contemporary sociopolitical issues and events. Her work moves beyond simply representing minority identities as she aims to comment on the interconnected systems of oppression. Kwon’s practice contests the notion of authenticity and explores the complexities involved in constructing identities within the current framework of cultural hybridity\, intersectionality\, and the collective pursuit of social justice \nThe Korea Society Gallery is open only by appointment.\nThe appointment must be made at least 24 hours prior to the scheduled visit. \nGallery Hours: Monday-Friday 10 AM-4:30 PM\nBy Appointment Only

SUMMARY:Zine* Together
DESCRIPTION:Please join Asia Art Archive in America on Thursday\, September 17th from 5-8pm for the opening reception of their exhibition\, Zine﹡ Together. \nZine﹡ Together is the first exhibition of its kind to examine Asian American zines not only as objects\, but as actions—creative\, collective\, and relational. Drawing from Asia Art Archive in America’s Reading Room collection\, this exhibition highlights collaboratively produced zines from 2010 to the present\, alongside newly commissioned projects and prompts that trace zine-making as a mode of shared authorship and community building. \nIn the 1960s and 1970s\, zines (short for “magazines” or “fan-zines”) were characterized by their photo-copied\, staple-bound formats and emerged as popular do-it-yourself platforms for sharing counter-cultural socio-political programs and avant-garde art practice. In more recent decades and particularly in Asian American communities\, zines have served as a place to explore artistic narratives\, diasporic histories\, and collective responses to marginalization. \nKey to this exhibition is a commissioned research project and essay by Michelle Yee\, PhD\, and Elizabeth Chung that investigates the recent history of Asian American zines in relation to the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic and the parallel rise in anti-Asian violence across the United States. Situating zine-making within this moment of crisis\, the research frames the medium as one of many grassroots strategies for care\, documentation\, and solidarity. Together\, the exhibition and research project position zines not as peripheral ephemera\, but as vital cultural tools that register and record how communities respond in times of uncertainty. \nZine﹡ Together\, itself a collaborative project\, is organized by Claire Kim\, Susanna Chang\, Sarula Bao\, Michelle Yee\, Elizabeth Chung\, Mary Y. Yang\, Chen Luo\, and Tasnima Tanzim.

SUMMARY:Synthetic Mobility
DESCRIPTION:Fou Gallery is pleased to present “Synthetic Mobility”\, a two-person exhibition featuring Tokyo- and New York-based artist Ai Makita and China-born\, Houston-based kinetic artist Sizhu Li\, on view from September 19 through November 8\, 2026. The exhibition brings to the fore important questions about the interaction between technology and humans\, considering how larger societal shifts affect the way artists represent humanity and reconstituted spaces. \nThe concept of the exhibition is connected to Timothy Morton’s idea of hyperobjects\, according to which we cannot fully perceive larger structures surrounding us and widely distributed across space and time\, but can try to describe their attributes and make a reasonable guess about their true nature. Synthetic mobility – the artificial generation of realistic human movement patterns using advanced algorithms – is a phenomenon related to the new acceleration of living rhythms promoted by digital progress. As the world is enveloped in ideological and cultural conflicts\, Makita and Li consider what it means to remain individuals today\, and how changes in technology alter our sense of perception and our mode of existence. \nAi Makita presents oil paintings\, several of them developed in conjunction with the AI model Midjourney and others based on images created in Photoshop by folding aluminum sheets. The depicted forms represent abstract conjunctions of pipes\, conduits\, and industrial infrastructure. Folded materials result in labyrinths of fluidity and line resembling a circulatory or nervous system\, an organism’s internal anatomy\, or an invisible technological network now made visible. The created conduits recall flowing rivers\, transcended thresholds\, and the linearity of time. Close conceptual connection with Minimalism makes Makita’s stretched lines internally connected to Donald Judd looking at the properties and the rigidity of the structures as well as relation of this (in)stability to the current historical moment. Process art likewise plays a significant role in Makita’s practice\, albeit in a form more appropriate to its new\, updated version\, where the digital has taken the place of the physical. Her paintings leave the viewer with a sense of wonder about where these meandering curves are leading and whether there is any specific destination. Mystery emerges not through mystical effects\, but through the inability to grasp the full picture\, pushing us to step away while also looking closer. \nSizhu Li presents sculptures made primarily from aluminum sheets and industrial fans. In Pushing Hands (2024–present)\, opposing forces travel through an industrial metal wave\, creating a rhythm of tension and equilibrium that references the Taoist principle of balance. The title directly refers to the fundamental Tai Chi practice of Tui Shou\, or “pushing hands\,” centered on sensing\, yielding to\, and balancing opposing forces. Evolving from her earlier project Moonment\, Li uses programmed fans and suspended aluminum sheets to construct a live\, percussive environment of moving metallic waves. In Yuanbao (2026)\, she brings the traditional Chinese symbol of wealth and blessing into conversation with the ephemeral form of clouds\, moving between material and spiritual aspirations\, permanence and transience. Meanwhile\, Oops\, Caught’ya! (2026) turns the clamp into both a generative and restraining device\, using movement\, suspension\, and pressure to consider freedom\, constraint\, instability\, and balance. \nTogether\, the two artists create a dialogue in which materials work as experimental tools to devise new understandings of where we are as a human species. Both artists look at motion\, structure\, and encounter as facilitated by materials\, planes\, and color. Makita’s paintings examine the transformations and limits caused by new synthetic mobility\, while Li’s sculptures engage the same idea through three-dimensional objects. Neither artist provides specific arguments or answers; instead\, they offer aesthetic tools that can help broaden our understanding of the technological forces increasingly shaping contemporary life.

SUMMARY:Yoshitaka Amano: Origins at the American Academy of Arts and Letters
DESCRIPTION:Yoshitaka Amano (b. 1952\, Shizuoka\, Japan) creates worlds. It’s something he’s done since he was fifteen\, when he moved to Tokyo and began working as a character designer for an anime studio. There\, drawing was always an act of translation. His task was to convert narrative into illustrated concepts\, drawings that would become the connective tissue of a fictional universe. Throughout his career as an independent artist and as a character designer for storied anime and video game franchises\, such as Final Fantasy and Vampire Hunter D\, drawing has always been a way of describing the porousness between the real and the fantastic. “I want to depict a world I myself have never seen\,” Amano says of the feeling from which his work begins. \nOrigins 始源 takes up Amano’s interest in primordial beginnings. Over the last few years\, Amano has been absorbed in Greek and Shinto mythology\, making drawings of the characters that animate these stories. Here\, he presents Pandora\, a series of drawings of the Greek myth of the first mortal woman; they circle the gallery like an ancient frieze\, or the storyboards for an animation. Alongside these works\, a selection of illustrations\, animation\, and popular materials from the 1980s and ’90s\, including the anime film Angel’s Egg and sensual depictions of The Tale of Genji\, is presented in our library. In all the stories Amano is drawn to\, origins are an eternal structure\, a threshold where being emerges. For him\, that threshold is the page; his figures seem to move and drift across its surface\, entering into worlds that exist beyond our lived reality. \nThis exhibition\, Amano’s first institutional solo show in New York\, offers a chance to encounter an artist whose drawings continue to have extended lives in the world around us. Right now\, more likely than not\, you could find them appearing on someone’s gaming console as they play Final Fantasy and livestream it to Twitch; on a Gatchaman Uniqlo tee worn in the streets of Tokyo; or even on an iPhone as someone watches Angel’s Egg on the subway\, in bed\, or really anywhere streaming is available. \nArts and Letters commissioned an essay\, Shining Genji\, by Sean Thor Conroe\, which accompanies the exhibition as part of our Reader series.

SUMMARY:Gen’ichirō Inokuma’s NYC Salon
DESCRIPTION:Gen’ichirō Inokuma’s NYC Salon is the first New York solo museum exhibition of the Japanese modern artist Gen’ichirō Inokuma (1902–1993). Organized by Japan Society Gallery in collaboration with the Marugame Genichiro-Inokuma Museum of Contemporary Art (MIMOCA) in Marugame\, Japan\, the exhibition explores Inokuma’s paintings shown at the Willard Gallery and various multimedia works created during his twenty-year residence in NYC (1955–1975). Along with important holdings from MIMOCA\, the exhibition presents Inokuma’s works in the Japan Society collection and the recently discovered Hirose Family Collection. \nInokuma’s Manhattan sojourn was shaped by meaningful connections with the American avant-garde: Jasper Johns\, Mark Rothko\, Robert Rauschenberg\, Alexander Calder\, David Smith\, Isamu Noguchi\, Yoko Ono\, John Cage\, Merce Cunningham\, and many others. Inokuma and his wife\, Fumiko\, also served as a social and cultural bridge between American and visiting Japanese artists and architects\, often hosting gatherings at their New York apartments. The exhibition features photographs\, film footage\, and ephemera documenting these artistic interactions. \nBy illuminating Inokuma’s little-known role in postwar American art history\, NYC Salon brings new insights into New York City’s mid-20th-century art world—both its collaborative artistic atmosphere\, and its vibrant international social scene \nTimed Tickets: $20 Nonmembers\, $15 Students and seniors \nGallery Exhibition Hours\n\nTuesdays-Fridays: 11 am-5 pm\n\n\nSaturdays & Sundays: noon-6 pm\n\n\nFree First Fridays: 5 pm-7 pm*\n\n\n*October 9\, 2026; November 6\, 2026; December 4\, 2026\, January 8\, 2027

SUMMARY:YUJI WATANABE 妖怪と風景 Yōkai and Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Picto New York presents 妖怪と風景 Yōkai and Landscapes\, an exhibition of photographs by Yuji Watanabe\, curated by Charli Sas. \nHave you ever glimpsed a figure on an empty road\, then looked again and found no one? Or looked into a mirror a little too long\, until the face looking back didn’t quite seem to be yours? Japanese folklore has a name for what appears in those moments: yōkai. \nPhotographed on 8×10 Polaroid\, Watanabe’s Yōkai series gives bodily form to spirits\, creatures\, and transformed objects drawn from folklore. Watanabe’s Yōkai series is shown alongside a new body of landscapes photographed across Japan\, shot on ONE INSTANT peel-apart film\, unfolding like an emaki (絵巻)\, a Japanese illustrated handscroll. Mountains\, forests\, caves\, waterfalls\, and still water become places where something may have just disappeared\, or may be about to appear. \nA soundscape by Pinkcourtesyphone\, sound artist and composer Richard Chartier\, runs through the exhibition\, extending this sense of uncertainty beyond the image. \nOn view: October 15- December 15\, 2026\, Mon- Friday 10AM- 6PM\, Weekends by appointment

SUMMARY:Hilda Shen: Their Landscapes
DESCRIPTION:Hilda Shen’s Their Landscapes inaugurates Solo Artist Projects (SAP)\, a MOCA initiative dedicated to presenting compelling artistic voices through one-person exhibitions of new work. The Brooklyn-based artist will present an arrangement of recent ceramic sculptures and prints in the museum’s Cheng Gallery. \nShen’s artistic practice is characterized by an inquisitive scrutiny of nature and an instinct for deconstruction. The forms can appear both ancient and futuristic\, naturally occurring and handmade\, undergoing construction and decay. Their details and motifs open up conversations that cut across post-minimalism\, Chinese landscape painting\, and architectural space. \nAbout the artist \nHilda Shen was born in Minneapolis (1954) and spent much of her childhood in upstate  New York before settling in New York City in the 1970s. Her father grew up in Beijing while her mother was raised in Hangzhou. Shen studied classical music at Oberlin College before shifting to the visual arts. She lives and works in Brooklyn. \nShen’s sculpture\, prints\, drawings\, and installations have been shown throughout the New York City area\, Seattle\, and Beijing\, and most recently in a solo show at Starr Suites in Brooklyn. She has created large installations at WaveHill in the Bronx\, the Tenri Cultural Center in NY\, China2000 in NY\, and the Smithsonian Flushing Town Hall in Queens. She has been an artist in residence at Willapa Bay AIR\, The Bloedel Reserve\, Millay Colony for the Arts\, Yosemite National Park\, and Platte Clove. Her work is in private collections in the United States\, Belgium\, and Beijing. Shen’s work has been reviewed in The New York Times\, The Brooklyn Rail\, ArtAsiaPacific\, and ARTnews. \nAbout Solo Artist Projects \nMOCA’s Solo Artist Projects (SAP) embraces a broad and open-ended exploration of contemporary art\, presenting a wide range of mediums\, practices\, traditions and ideas. It will feature artists of Chinese descent\, living and working in New York City. SAP will be a space for artists with established careers\, emerging artists\, those who live and work in and around Chinatown\, and art historical figures who deserve institutional attention. We will begin accepting submissions for Solo Artists Projects through an open call process in early 2027\, eligible to NYC-based artists of Chinese descent. Details forthcoming on MOCA’s website.

SUMMARY:Yoshitomo Nara Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:David Zwirner is pleased to present an exhibition by Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara (b. 1959) featuring new paintings and drawings\, recent sculptures\, and early works selected by the artist. Spanning the gallery’s 537 West 20th Street and 533 West 19th Street locations in New York\, this exhibition will be the artist’s first solo presentation with David Zwirner and his first major solo exhibition in New York in nearly a decade. \nSince the mid-1980s\, Nara’s multidisciplinary approach has produced a distinctive and varied body of work. His artistic sensibilities were uniquely formed and shaped by his solitary childhood in rural northern Japan. Nara’s formative encounters with nature\, folklore\, and children’s fables\, and his revelatory discovery of popular music through his self-built radio\, are the source of his creativity. Through introspection\, Nara freely reimagines his past experiences\, and they have determined his visual language and steered his stylistic development for four decades. \nThrough philosophical dialogues with his intrinsic self\, Nara creates personified entities. Depicted with big heads and wide eyes\, they are celebrated for their characterful demeanor and perceived to possess both innocence and defiance. Nara understands these figures as self-portraits\, and when his dynamic imagery emerged in the 1990s\, it was recognized as an expression of raw emotion\, carrying a spirit comparable to punk and rock music in its directness and intensity. Over time\, it has come to function differently. Today\, many people see Nara’s characters as projections of themselves\, mirroring their own sentiments and vulnerabilities. As a result\, these images have transcended their original impetus and become cultural touchstones\, resonating with a global audience and influencing younger generations of artists and viewers alike. \nBringing together foundational works from the 1980s and paintings from 2026\, this exhibition will illuminate the latest evolutions of Nara’s singular proxies. Newly completed paintings on canvas—front-facing portraits with direct gazes—show a significant development in his color palette. Over the past year\, his intricately layered colors have become more muted and highly nuanced\, while his increasingly diffused brushwork\, through which his forms materialize\, creates richly atmospheric depths across the surface. Other paintings reveal a new method in which Nara sketches compositions in colored pencil\, developing a framework drawing before applying washes of translucent acrylic—the figures adopt natural poses\, and their tear-filled eyes communicate an air of uncertainty. In tandem\, recent large-format\, monochrome drawings made with industrial oil-based paint sticks will be exhibited. By contrast\, these works are emphatically linear\, demonstrating the breadth of Nara’s two-dimensional output. On the surface\, his imagery may appear formally divergent\, but it captures a shared emotional intensity\, evoking universal feelings. \nNara integrated his drawing style into his painting practice as a student\, simplifying his compositions\, paring down his use of color\, and introducing an economy of line. Unbound by conventional methods\, Nara employs paint in ways aligned with how he uses pen and pencil. Whichever medium or implement he chooses\, for him drawing is an assured action\, the result of an immediate inspiration—it is a state of mind. In what Nara calls his “line” paintings\, he enlarges his bold notebook sketches through projection and reanimates them in paint. The deceptively simple outlines retain their original creative impulse and the freedom that drawing allows—the rapid execution and fluid delineation. \nIn conjunction with the presentation of paintings and drawings at 20th Street\, thirteen of Nara’s 10-times sculptural enlargements from 2024 will be on display at the 19th Street gallery. Coated in white urethane paint\, the matte surface affording an apparent softness\, these large-scale bronze heads recall the snow “monsters” that Nara knew from childhood winters\, created by heavy snowfall. He envisaged the enlargements as he sculpted their palm-sized clay prototypes\, fascinated by the potential psychological impacts of experiencing the small\, evidently hand-molded heads on a monumental scale. Encountering the magnification of their simple facial expressions\, and the play of light and shadow across their smooth surfaces\, nurtures conditions for serenity and contemplation. \nThis exhibition will coincide with the opening of Yoshitomo Nara: Sentinels of Stillness at the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden in Washington\, DC. Three monumental sculptures\, sixteen-times enlargements of Nara’s small clay heads\, will inaugurate the Annual West Lawn Series and be on view from October 31\, 2026 through November 7\, 2027.

SUMMARY:Sống: Photographs by Ocean Vuong
DESCRIPTION:Writer and poet Ocean Vuong began taking photographs as a teenager. With a borrowed Nikon camera in hand\, he captured intimate scenes in the nail salon where his mother worked for decades and documented the post-industrial landscapes and abandoned mills of Hartford\, Connecticut\, where his family settled after leaving Vietnam in the wake of the US war. \nSống: Photographs by Ocean Vuong\, the artist’s first New York City exhibition\, foregrounds working-class diasporic Vietnamese life through a photographic archive spanning nearly twenty years. The photographs on view echo the narratives from Vuong’s literary works by drawing attention to the quotidian and the deeply personal – Vuong’s brother’s shoes\, home altars\, a mother feeding her baby\, an embrace between friends\, an American flag. \nSống\, which means “to live” in Vietnamese\, includes several photographs taken in the aftermath of Vuong’s mother’s death in 2019 that frame the evolving relationship with his brother\, Nicky\, as they mourned and navigated their immense grief. Vuong writes\, “I started taking photographs as a way to make our lives legible to my mother. And my mother’s looking made the elegy legible in my work.” \nOne of the most celebrated American writers of our time\, Vuong invites visitors to gaze through his aperture and offers a meditation on loss\, labor\, and kinship through the refugee condition. \nExtended gallery hours and gallery closures: \n\nOn Wednesday\, November 11 and Wednesday\, December 9\, the gallery will remain open until 8:00 p.m.\nThe gallery will be closed on Thursday\, November 26 and Friday\, November 27.

SUMMARY:No Ordinary Light: Akari at 75
DESCRIPTION:Marking the 75th anniversary of Akari\, this exhibition explores the enduring significance of Isamu Noguchi’s pioneering light sculptures. \nIsamu Noguchi created his first paper and bamboo light sculptures during a 1951 visit to Gifu that inspired him to reimagine the possibilities of traditional Japanese chochin lanterns. While Noguchi maintained their handmade collapsible structure\, he equipped his new lights with innovatively shaped shades\, electric light bulbs\, and modern wire bases. \nOver the following three decades\, he produced more than 200 distinct models of these radiant forms. He named them Akari—the Japanese word for “light\,” which to Noguchi evoked both illumination and weightlessness. Yet\, as he insisted\, “Akari is no ordinary light.” He understood each model as a “luminous sculpture” that “comes to life in how it is shown\, in how it is in relation to people’s lives and in relation to the environment in which it is placed.” \nNo Ordinary Light: Akari at 75 traces the many contexts in which Noguchi presented Akari throughout his career\, placing them in dialogue with sculptures in stone\, metal\, and clay\, and within settings ranging from intimate domestic interiors to monumental installations. Displays throughout the exhibition draw inspiration from key historical presentations\, including Akari’s extraordinary debut at a tea ceremony at the Eames House in 1951\, and their provocative presence in Noguchi’s solo presentation at the Venice Biennale in 1986. \nAcross these presentations\, Akari emerge as dynamic sculptures activated through use\, encounter\, and environment—their meaning renewed with each space they illuminate.

SUMMARY:TRIBUTE
DESCRIPTION:In 1998\, eighteen-year-old Jonathan See Lim\, known as “TIE” or “Tie One\,” was shot and killed in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district. A prolific graffiti artist\, Lim was painting on a building when he pleaded for his life with his killer\, a resident who claimed self-defense. Though no hate crime charges were filed\, many in the Asian American and art communities understood the killing through the lens of race. After his death\, fellow graffiti writers painted massive “Tie Tributes” across the Bay Area\, insisting on his continued presence. In graffiti culture\, a tribute keeps an artist’s name in circulation\, declaring that they still matter. \n“TRIBUTE” borrows this framework to spotlight Asian American artists who helped build American DIY\, punk\, and counterculture—figures largely absent from these movements’ histories. When we think of punk\, zines\, riot grrrl\, or graffiti\, Asian Americans rarely appear in the narrative\, yet they were there from the start\, helping lay the foundations of these countercultures. This exhibition addresses that erasure. \nAmy Yao and Maggie Lee came of age in these scenes—Yao in the teenage punk band Emily’s Sassy Lime\, Lee in Bay Area graffiti—and their contemporary practices carry those roots forward. Alongside their work\, archival material keeps this history in circulation: a throw-up honoring TIE\, footage of Emily’s Sassy Lime\, and zines like Slant and Bamboo Girl\, which made space for Asian American voices within punk and riot grrrl. \nLocation:\n291 Church St.\, NY\, NY 10013

SUMMARY:Big Three Bon Odori Workshops in Japanese
DESCRIPTION:NISHIMONAI BON ODORI (Akita Prefecture)\n\nNishimonai Bon Odori is a traditional Bon dance with a history of approximately 700 years\, and it was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020. \nAkita Prefecture\, located in the northern part of Japan\, is well known throughout the country for producing delicious rice and sake. Because Akita faces the Sea of Japan\, it had historical connections with Kyoto through maritime trade and travel. For this reason\, it is said that even in Akita\, far from Kyoto\, people were once able to hear the Kyoto dialect. The refined style and elegant movements of Nishimonai Bon Odori suggest that it may have been influenced by Kyoto culture. \nAlthough the dance consists of only two songs\, the choreography is considered somewhat more challenging compared with Bon Odori dances from other regions. The two songs of Nishimonai Bon Odori are highly unique pieces sung in the Akita dialect. They resemble what we might call rap music today\, as the lyrics can reflect current events and allow singers the freedom to create their own verses. \nThe contrast between the graceful\, delicate movements of the dance and the uniquely cheerful melodies of the songs makes Nishimonai Bon Odori a truly one-of-a-kind Bon dance. \nMany Japanese people have the image that Bon Odori is a dance that anyone can join. However\, in some regions of Japan\, there are traditional dances where participants are expected to know the movements correctly and wear appropriate attire before joining the dance circle. Nishimonai Bon Odori is one of these dances. \nAs a result\, during the three days from August 16 to August 18\, the small village of Nishimonai\, with a population of approximately 1\,500 people\, becomes crowded with tens of thousands of visitors who come to experience this unique Bon Odori tradition. \n\n\nGUJO ODORI (Gifu Prefecture) \nGujo Odori is a traditional Bon dance from Gifu Prefecture\, located almost at the center of Japan. With a history of approximately 400 years\, Gujo Odori was also registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage in 2020. \nAmong the three Bon Odori traditions introduced here\, Gujo Odori is the most welcoming and accessible. Anyone can join the dance circle and participate. Although wearing a yukata is the traditional attire\, there are no strict rules about what people must wear in order to dance. \nGujo Odori consists of 10 different dances. One of the greatest joys of Gujo Odori is learning and dancing all of these dances. The songs are based on the local landscape\, customs\, and stories passed down through generations\, and some are even performed a cappella\, creating a deeply atmospheric and beautiful musical experience. \nDancers wear wooden geta sandals while dancing\, creating the distinctive “karan-koron” sound of the wooden soles. This sound is considered an essential part of the music of Gujo Odori itself. \nIn Gujo City\, during the two summer months of the festival season\, Bon Odori is held almost every day somewhere in the city\, creating an atmosphere filled with energy and excitement. The dances take place continuously in locations such as the main streets of Gujo and the plaza in front of the former mayor’s residence. On weekends\, there are special “Tetsuya Odori” (all-night dances)\, where people continue dancing until dawn. \nBecause Gujo Odori is a joyful and welcoming dance that anyone can enjoy\, it has many fans throughout Japan. During these two summer months\, visitors from across the country travel to Gujo City to experience and participate in this unique Bon Odori tradition. \n\n\nAWA ODORI (Tokushima Prefecture) \nAwa Odori is a traditional Bon dance from Tokushima Prefecture\, located on the island of Shikoku in western Japan. It is considered one of the most popular summer Bon Odori festivals in Japan. \nAwa Odori has a history of several hundred years\, although the current style and form of the dance were established approximately 60 years ago. From August 12 to August 16\, during the four-day festival period\, it is said that around one million people gather in Tokushima Prefecture to experience this spectacular event. \nUnlike some Bon Odori traditions where individuals simply join the dance circle\, Awa Odori is performed by organized groups called “Ren.” Dancers join a Ren and perform together as a group. Because the dancers must move in harmony\, there are detailed rules and extensive practice required to master the choreography. It is said that there are more than 1\,000 Ren groups throughout Japan. \nTokushima Prefecture is famous for its indigo dye production. Several hundred years ago\, many wealthy merchants in the region made their fortunes through the indigo trade\, and some were even ranked among the wealthiest people in Japan. Merchants traveled throughout the country for business and were influenced by the music they encountered in different regions. By incorporating the best elements of these musical traditions\, they created new rhythms and songs that became a great success. The image of people dancing with their hands raised was even captured in ukiyo-e (traditional Japanese woodblock prints). \nOriginally\, Tokushima Prefecture consisted of many small islands located close together\, connected by bridges that allowed people to travel between communities. While Bon Odori is traditionally danced in a circle\, these small islands did not have many open spaces for large dance circles. It is believed that people began dancing along the roads instead. This history is reflected in Awa Odori’s unique style as a one-directional dance\, which is unusual among Bon Odori traditions and makes it especially suitable for parade-style festivals. \nWith both hands raised and dancers moving to its lively rhythm\, Awa Odori is a joyful and energetic dance that brings people together through music and movement.
