In person at the museum.
An acclaimed artist and writer discuss their first collaboration, inspired by a monumental work now on view in Lee Gallery.
Celebrated multimedia artist Lam Tung Pang (Chinese, b. 1978, active Hong Kong and Vancouver) will appear in conversation with Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Forrest Gander to commemorate the release of their artist book Past Continuous Tense, the Asian Art Museum’s inaugural collaboration with San Francisco’s historic Arion Press. This limited-edition, hand-printed publication includes imagery from Lam’s monumental, gallery-spanning installation of the same name, currently on view at the museum, paired with a specially commissioned poem by Gander inspired by Lam’s artwork. Join us for a stimulating discussion about the role of craft, memory, landscape, and innovation in literature and the arts, moderated by Head of Contemporary Art and Senior Associate Curator Abby Chen.
