NextGen Curator’s Chat with Troia Schonlau

The exhibition Jun Kaneko: Silence Before Sound brings together six decades of work by the internationally celebrated artist. Join us for “Jun Kaneko: Life and Work,” a special visual presentation by Troia Schonlau, Archivist at the Jun Kaneko Studio.
Kaneko’s monumental ceramics and captivating paintings are beholden to great applause. He also has designed stage sets, lighting, and costumes for three operas in addition to his studio work. Overall, he has completed over 40 worldwide public art installations. With work in over 60 museum and private collectors from around the globe, Kaneko’s artwork is truly one of a kind.
Doors open at 5:30pm, where guests are invited to enjoy light bites and a cash bar. Prior to the presentation, Joanna Robotham, Curator of Modern and Contemporary Art, will lead Gallery Bingo, an interactive activity with prizes.
Join us and gain a deeper understanding of how Kaneko continues to redefine what is possible with clay.
