Join us for an afternoon in the NUMU galleries to celebrate our exhibitions. Get ready for a unique opportunity to meet exhibiting artists, curators and collaborators. Together, we’ll learn more about their artwork, enjoy live music, tasty hors d’oeuvres, and refreshing beverages. We can’t wait to celebrate with you!

NUMU Members will enjoy this opportunity to meet the exhibiting artists of NUMU’s exhibition Terra Firma and enjoy a tour lead by guest curator Marianne McGrath.

Performing in character as the “Curator of the Museum of Historical Makeovers,” Kathy Aoki will give a humorous lecture on “Koons Ruins,” the estate of imagined art collector Dorothea Vadas James who sets out to destroy the works of world-famous artist Jeff Koons. Known for her fictitious academic excellence, Aoki will reveal the historical underpinnings of the estate, the twists and turns that led to collector James’ quiet fury, and the mission of the Save the Public Eye Foundation that currently manages the estate. Suspension of disbelief is highly recommended, but not required.

Come early or stay late to immerse yourself in Kathy Aoki’s exhibition Koons Ruins at the James Estate in the Mike and Alyce Parsons Gallery at NUMU. This satirical, museum-style installation features prints, paintings, and a peephole diorama that tell the story of “Koons Ruins.” Koons Ruins at the James Estate is sponsored in part by the Borgenicht Foundation and Wanda Kownacki.

Join us for a rare earnest artist talk with Kathy Aoki who will share a behind the scenes look at the conceptual nature of her work and how she produces it. Kathy Aoki has created many satirical, museum-style installations on themes ranging from Hello Kitty Monument, to makeup-dominated landscapes, to pop-diva Gwen Stefani's mortuary temple. How does she create these narratives and the extremely wide-range of "artifacts" and "historical" artworks that accompany them? Find out at this artist talk with live Q&A!
