Young Leadership Council: Artist-Led Tour with Oscar yi Hou

Join the Young Leadership Council for a reception and private after-hours tour of Oscar yi Hou: East of sun, west of moon with Oscar yi Hou, Eugenie Tsai, John and Barbara Vogelstein Senior Curator, Contemporary Art, and Indira A. Abiskaroon, Curatorial Assistant, Modern and Contemporary Art.

In East of sun, west of moon, yi Hou questions what it means to be “Asian American” and who is considered “American” at a time of heightened violence against Asian communities across the United States. The artist looks to both popular culture and past references, including the Brooklyn Museum’s newly reinstalled Asian Art collections, in his collage-like approach to these compositions. Yi Hou is the third recipient of the UOVO Prize, which recognizes the work of emerging Brooklyn-based artists.

This tour is reserved for Young Leadership Council members in thanks for their generous support of the Brooklyn Museum. To RSVP, please email individual.​giving@​brooklynmuseum.​org .
