This exhibition brings together a selection of major works produced by Rauschenberg during and in response to his time in Asia. It traces the conceptual, formal and material influences on his practice, such as sourcing textiles and collaborating with paper makers and ceramicists in China, India, and Japan. The exhibition also considers the history and legacy of his Asian Rauschenberg Overseas Culture Interchange (ROCI) projects, which included exhibitions in Beijing (1985), Lhasa (1985), Tokyo (1986), and Kuala Lumpur (1990), and their lasting impact on local artists. The display will feature works by Rauschenberg and by Asian artists in dialogue with his practice, and marks the centenary of the artist’s birth.
I write about every exhibition I went to, and I go to almost every exhibition there is in Hong Kong. I shoot and edit my own photos for this blog.
I enjoy visiting artists and seeing their studios. I show them the way I see them, hopefully revealing something interesting.
I’m a proudly independent art blogger with no affiliation to any organisation. I blog because I love art and support the artists.
