NOGUCHI MUSEUM:
Optional Guided Tour of Self-Interned, 1942: Noguchi in Poston War Relocation Center with head curator and symposium panelist Dakin Hart (The Noguchi Museum, Long Island City, New York) on October 8, 2017. Admission is free for symposium participants, courtesy of the Noguchi Museum. RSVP required. Limited to first 30 registrants.
Self-Interned, 1942 examines Isamu Noguchi’s extraordinary decision to voluntarily enter the Poston War Relocation Center, in the Arizona Desert, despite being exempt from internment as a resident of New York. The exhibition brings together about two-dozen works from the Museum’s collection, dating from before, during, and after Noguchi’s time at Poston, along with a substantial selection of archival documents. Together these evoke this harrowing moment in the history of American democracy, while revealing the impact that his experience at Poston had on Noguchi’s art.
