Join the Division of Art for an in-depth look into a visiting artist’s work during our monthly Visiting Artist Lecture Series. This series offers a unique opportunity for the public to engage with renowned artists from diverse backgrounds and disciplines as they share their expertise, accompanied by a showcase of their artworks. It helps provide an intimate glimpse into their creative process and the stories that fuel their work.
This month’s lecture will have artist Yuko Nishikawa discussing her work and practice. Nishikawa creates a fantastical environment with her colorful, tactile lively forms. With a hands-on exploratory approach, Nishikawa makes paintings, lighting, mobiles and sculptures using a variety of mediums, reflecting her experiences in architecture, restoration, interior and furniture design, crafts, and engineering. She currently works in her Brooklyn studio which she named Forest, a place where things grow and things decay to nourish new lives and where people can wonder and discover something new.
