Landmark Cinemas, Shattuck Avenue, Berkeley.

This fascinating portrait of Yayoi Kusama, now the top-selling female artist in the world, traces her turbulent quest from humble beginnings, overcoming countless obstacles, to bring her radical artistic vision to the world stage. The visually entrancing film celebrates her life and art. Kusama was an underdog with everything stacked against her; as a child, her conservative mother tried to stop her from becoming an artist by tearing up her drawings. Later, she encountered sexist and racist barriers in the art establishment; she became famous for her polka dot hallucinogenic imagery, and was a sometime rival of Andy Warhol. She developed mental illness, retreating to live in the peace of an asylum for the last 30 years. In spite of it all, Kusama has endured and has created a legacy of artwork that spans the disciplines of painting, sculpture, installation art, performance art, poetry and novels. People around the globe are experiencing her Infinity Mirrored Rooms installation in record numbers as Kusama, now 88, continues to create new work every day. (Partially subtitled)

Presence & Absence: The Paradox of Disability in Portraiture
October 22nd at 4pm in 221 (Gifford Room) Kroeber Hall

Join us for a talk by Riva Lehrer, an acclaimed portrait artist and winner of the 2017 Society for Disability Studies Presidential Award (http://rivalehrerart.com).

Presence and Absence explores the reasons that portraits of the disabled body have been absent from art museums all over the world. With the exception of the unexpected, and problematic, locations where the crip body does persist in the story of the painted human form. Lehrer discusses her own work in portraiture as part of this millenia-old, complicated game of hide-and-seek.

Riva Lehrer is an artist, writer and curator whose work focuses on issues of physical identity and the socially challenged body. She is best known for representations of people with impairments, and those whose sexuality or gender identity have long been stigmatized.

The event's wheelchair accessible and free. CART transcription and ASL interpretation can be provided with advance request to Karen Nakamura (knak@berkeley.edu.) Please refrain from wearing scented products.
