East of the Pacific: Making Histories of Asian American Art explores how the migration of people across the Pacific Ocean, from Asia to the United States, has profoundly shaped our nation’s cultural and artistic landscape. By reframing the geography of the U.S. as not only west of the Atlantic but also east of the Pacific, the exhibition shifts our perception of American art and its key contributors, revealing histories shaped by contact, exchange, and collaboration.This exhibition is organized by the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University as part of the museum's Asian American Art Initiative and curated by Aleesa Pitchamarn Alexander, Robert M. and Ruth L. Halperin Associate Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art and Co-Director of the Asian American Art Initiative. The Cantor gratefully acknowledges support from the Terra Foundation for American Art and Pamela and David Hornik.
The presentation at the Columbus Museum of Art is organized by Molly K. Eckel, Shackelford Family Assistant Curator of American Art, with Grace Tran, Art Bridges Fellow.
