On Kawara's Legacy and Emerging Conceptual Art at Hunter College Through May 8
The conceptual art pioneer On Kawara, born January 2, 1933, died in June 2014, leaving behind a significant legacy. His work and life are preserved by his estate, which continues to influence contemporary practice. A new exhibition at Hunter College, running through May 8, features a young artist's debut that explores language, drawing, and commercial processes. This show, presented at Mitchell-Innes & Nash on the Lower East Side, includes playful sculptures that treat words as raw materials. The exhibition references an era when artists communicated via postcards and faxes, connecting historical methods with current artistic investigations.
