Presented by the Asian Art Museum of San Francisco’s contemporary art department (Abby Chen & Naz Cuguoglu), Rhythmic Vibrations inquires about what it means to present Asian art and to be the Asian Art Museum in the USA at this moment in history. This presentation marks several firsts: it is the first time in both the museum and American history that the Asian Art Museum has been invited to represent the USA on a globally significant platform, and it is also the inaugural American Pavilion at the Gwangju Biennial. Curated by two immigrant curators, this exhibition rehistoricizes the narrative of an American Pavilion, examining the potential implications of this milestone for the museum and the art community.
