DESCRIPTION:Based on her 2015 book\,&nbsp\;<em>Yayoi Kusama: Inventing the 
 Singular</em>\, Prof. Midori Yamamura will discuss Japanese-born artist Ya
 yoi Kusama and Jewish art dealer Leo Castelli\, who both launched their ca
 reers in New York&rsquo\;s 1950s multicultural downtown scene\, where immi
 grants from diverse backgrounds converged after the Second World War. By t
 he early 1960s\, Kusama was exhibiting together with the Pop and Minimal a
 rtists during their formative years. In Europe\, she showed with the Dutch
  Nul and the German Zero artists. However\, as the global art market fully
  took root\, the so-called &ldquo\;New American Art&rdquo\; replaced multi
 culturalism with mostly U.S.-born white male artists\, most of whom were r
 epresented by a single New York gallery\, Leo Castelli\, and Kusama became
  marginalized. This was owing in part largely to the successful efforts of
  the capitalists&rsquo\; transnational activities to establish what was in
  effect a market monopoly. This experience uniquely shaped Kusama&rsquo\;s
  art\, and forced her to invent a singular practice that foreshadowed the 
 politically charged feminist art of the 1970s and queer art\, challenging 
 the conventional ideas of gender and sexuality.\n\nFor more information\,
