Global Asias: Contemporary Asian and Asian American Art from the Collections of Jordan D. Schnitzer and HIs Family Foundation
The Heckscher Museum of Art’s exhibition Global Asias examines the cosmopolitan, exuberant, and subtly subversive works of 15 artists of Asian heritage who are adept at crossing borders - not only physical ones, but also those in media, styles, genre, and materials. The exhibition is drawn from the multifaceted collections fo Jordan D. Schnitzer and His Family Foundation.
Global Asias invites viewers to think about Asia not in singular but plural terms - encouraging audiences to understand Asia as a site of meaning across the globe. The artists in Global Asias were born in Japan, China, Korea, Vietnam, Argentina, and the United States. The exhibition provides an opportunity to move away from considering Asia as a geographical location and instead invites viewers to think broadly about how “Asia” has long served as an imaginative construct.
