Welcome back or welcome for the first time!
Our first VALS lecture of the 2018-2019 school year will be:
Aki Sasamoto
Tuesday, September 4th / 6:30pm / Prentis Hall, Room 101
Aki Sasamoto works in sculpture, performance, video, and whatever other medium it takes to get her ideas across. In her installation/performance works, Aki moves and talks inside the careful arrangements of sculpturally altered objects, activating bizarre emotions behind daily life. Her works appear in gallery spaces, theater spaces, as well as in odd sites. Shown at SculptureCenter, the Kitchen, Chocolate Factory Theater, Whitney Biennial 2010 at Whitney Museum, Greater New York 2010 at MOMA-PS1, New York; National Museum of Art-Osaka, Mori Museum, Take Ninagawa, Yokohama Triennale 2008, Japan; Gwangju Biennial 2012, South Korea; Shanghai Biennale 2016, China; Kochi-Muziris Biennale 2016, India; and numerous other international and domestic venues. She has collaborated with musicians, choreographers, mathematicians, and scholars. She teaches in the Sculpture Department at Yale School of Art. Aki likes food.
