Discussion Seminar: Takahiro Yamamoto

Past Fellows Event

Join Portland-based artist Takahiro Yamamoto in a discussion of his two works Direct Path to Detour, which would have been presented at On the Boards on June 4-7, and Property of Opaqueness which was co-presented by the Henry Art Gallery and Velocity on October 6th, 2019.

You have to register through the following website, which will provide a zoom link to join for the discussion on May 29th and June 5th, both from 4pm - 5:30pm PST.

Central to Direct Path to Detour and Property of Opaqueness is the idea of NOISE, which guides Takahiro Yamamoto’s artistic approach to both subject matters while it always complicates his presumed answers.

We will begin by screening and discussing clips of the two works, then share and discuss his writings Noise and his book Direct Path To Detour. Then we will break out into small groups, where audiences will be able to share with each other their thoughts on the material. We will end with Taka sharing questions and suggestions for further research. We invite participants to join program organizers from On the Boards, Velocity Dance Center, and the Henry Art Gallery the following Friday, June 5th at 4 pm to continue discussion together.

This program is a collaboration between On the Boards, Henry Art Gallery, and Velocity Dance Center.
