EX­hi­Bi­tion

DUET: ASIAN CONTEMPORARY

A follow-up to 2018’s “On Love: Asian Contemporary,” “Duet: Asian Contemporary” is a showcase of contemporary photography and moving image works by artists from China and Japan cocurated by Teng Qingyun, the executive director of the Three Shadows Photography Art Centre’s branch in Xiamen, China. Taking the “duet” as a metaphor for the ways in which different voices can combine to form a unified expression, the exhibition explores the relationships and resonances that arise from the intersection of multiple viewpoints, cultures, times, and personal experiences. Exhibiting artists are fumiko imano, Jiang Pengyi, Luo Yang, Toshiya Murakoshi, Taca Sui, and Wang Tuo.

Also on view will be the latest edition of the museum’s annual survey of new directions in Japanese photography, Contemporary Japanese Photography Vol. 23, “Assembling Anew: Memories, Materials, Context, Technology.”
