DESCRIPTION:Held in conjunction with the exhibition\, <em>Kazuko Miyamoto:
  To perform a line</em> (exhibition now extended through July 24)\, this 
 half-day symposium on the artist features an interdisciplinary group of ar
 tists\, curators and scholars. Each speaker will discuss an important pers
 pective on Kazuko Miyamoto’s innovative practice over the past five deca
 des. Topics include feminism in the arts\, close readings of specific work
 s\, the New York avant-garde\, and the role of collaboration and community
  in artistic practice. The closing panel will reflect on the themes and id
 eas that have emerged from the earlier presentations as well as broaden th
 e conversation to engage with contemporary matters and practices.\n\n<em>K
 azuko Miyamoto: To perform a line</em>—the artist’s first institutiona
 l solo exhibition—traces the conceptual complexity and visual range of a
 n artist who has challenged and broadened the legacy of post-1960s interna
 tional art. Miyamoto was born in Tokyo in 1942\, and has lived and worked 
 in New York City’s Lower East Side neighborhood since 1964. From 1968\, 
 the artist responded to and critiqued the innovations of Minimalism by emp
 hasizing a handmade process and performance. Her involvement as an early m
 ember of New York’s A.I.R. (Artists in Residence) Gallery\, the first al
 l-female collective in the United States\, and the establishment of her ow
 n Gallery Onetwentyeight in 1986\, underscore the importance of feminism\,
  collaboration and community in her practice.\n\nSpeakers\nElise Armani\,

 \nLeon Ransmeier\, exhibition designer and founder of Ransmeier\, Inc.\n\
