Viva Video! : The Art and Life of Shigeko Kubota Online Talk Vol. 2
Shigeko Kubota and Women Artists - Past and Present
In the early 1970s, Shigeko Kubota met like-minded women artists in New York and collaborated with them. In the first half, the New York-based video artist, Mary Lucier (b. 1944), who co-organized the multi-racial women artist’s collective, White Black Red & Yellow with Kubota, will talk about early days of media art and her collaboration with Kubota and other women artists. In the latter half, Emiko Kasahara (b. 1963), an artist who has worked in both the United States and Japan and is known for sculpture with references to body and gender, and Nodoka Odawara (b. 1985), who creates sculpture as an artist as well as explores sculpture as a critic, will discuss the issues surrounding women artists and media.
