Palden Weinreb on Artistic Process and Facades

Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past

Institution:

Asian Art Museum

Born in New York, Palden Weinreb’s Tibetan heritage speaks through his strikingly spare works. Weinreb is inspired by sublimity: motion, space, and mystery. For Phantoms of Asia (on view at the Asian Art Museum from May 18-September 2, 2012), Weinreb’s minimalist works (including paintings and light boxes) are meditations on existence and the universe. By reducing visual components to their simplest forms, Weinreb’s work explores how all things may be interconnected. For more information: http://www.asianart.org/phantoms/

Japanese artist Takayuki Yamamoto doesn't just make hell fun and educational. His co-created art installations with elementary school children apply youthful imagination to explorations of "the particularities of social systems and customs by which people are raised." For "Phantoms of Asia" (on view at the Asian Art Museum from May 8 to September 2, 2012) he has worked with San Francisco's Bayview area elementary school students to build cardboard dioramas of their personal hells along with a companion video commenting on their structures. His work is entitled, "What Kind of Hell Will We Go."

Phantoms of Asia: Contemporary Awakens the Past

Institution:

Asian Art Museum

Korean-born New York based artist Sun K. Kwak makes the invisible visible using a surprisingly simple medium: black masking tape. Through a process infused with an element of performance, Kwak channels surrounding energy to manifest a movement of lines, liberating the space and transforming it into a new pictorial reality. For the "Phantoms of Asia" exhibition at the Asian Art Museum (on view from May 18-September 2, 2012), Kwak creates a site-specific installation for the museum's North Court, which will not be seen again after the exhibition closes.
