Episode Details

In this episode, we sat down with exhibitions director at Contemporary Craft, Yu-San Cheng, to explore their upcoming exhibition "Keiko Fukazawa Retrospective: The Space in Between". This display showcases work by California-based artist Keiko Fukazawa over the span of 40 years. Keiko started as a painter in Japan and became a ceramics artist after moving to the United States. Her work blends ceramics and conceptual art and is organized into three themes for this exhibition: Culture Clash, ARTivism, and In Betweenness. Each of these themes represent a different stage in her creative evolution throughout the years. Yu-San talks about meeting Keiko and picking out pieces for the exhibition. She also shares the story of Keiko finishing a recent work for this exhibition. You can see "Keiko Fukazawa Retrospective: The Space in Between" from February 7th to May 16th at Contemporary Craft's main gallery on Butler Street. There will be a free opening reception on Friday, February 7th from 5:30 to 8 pm. There is also an Artist-Led Guided Tour on Saturday, February 8th at 11 am. Free RSVPing is recommended.
