Meiro Koizumi: Open Satellite Lecture

Henry Auditorium

Henry Members FREE/ General Admission $5

Japanese artist Meiro Koizumi’s performance-based video work takes you on a road trip to a sinister world where the physical and psychological play chicken in an unpolished landscape. Speeding, seat belt unfastened, you drive at your own risk. The artist leaves the viewer implicated in the plot- unknowingly, yet not unwillingly. During his residency at Open Satellite, Koizumi will examine- through installation, performance, and video- the plight of Japanese Americans residing in Bellevue, WA during World War II. On view concurrently with this exhibition will be a career survey of the artist’s video work at the Hedreen Gallery in Seattle University’s Lee Center for the Arts.

This lecture is presented by Open Satellite.

Featured artists: Meiro Koizumi
