About this Event
On October 28-29, Stanford University will host IMU UR2: Art, Aesthetics, and Asia America. This two-day convening brings together artists, curators, and scholars to rethink and reimagine the histories and futures of artists of Asian descent. There will be a special keynote conversation on Saturday evening with Cathy Park Hong and Jen Liu, moderated by Marci Kwon.
Together with the exhibitions East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art, The Faces of Ruth Asawa, and At Home/On Stage: Asian American Representation in Photography and Film at the Cantor Arts Center, IMU UR2 inaugurates the Asian American Art Initiative (AAAI). This event also serves as the public launch of the Martin Wong Catalogue Raisonné, a free online resource that is a collaboration between the AAAI, the Martin Wong Foundation, and Stanford Libraries.
To organize the program, the Cantor Arts Center collaborated with the Institute for Diversity in the Arts, with funding from the Stanford Arts Incubator pilot program. This symposium is made possible through support from the Terra Foundation for American Art.
The conference is co-sponsored by the American Studies Program, Center for Asian Health Research and Education, Center for Comparative Studies in Race & Ethnicity, Center for East Asian Studies, Center for South Asia, Department of Art & Art History, Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures, Department of History, Stanford Medical Humanities and Arts Program, Stanford Program in Modern Thought and Literature, as well as Christine Chan and Bryant Lin.
