Reception + Humorous Performance by Kathy Aoki as "Curator"

5:00 PM17:00

Reception + Humorous Performance by Kathy Aoki as "Curator"

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.
