OPENING RECEPTION: June 16, 2011 from 5PM to 7PM Togonon Gallery is pleased to present "Crosscurrents," a first-time gallery exhibition that showcases contemporary works of three artists from Asia, juxtaposed with works of four Asian-American artists. The American artists include Kira Greene, Grace Munakata, Ben Needham and Mitsu Okubo, and the international Asian artists include, John Chang, Norberto Roldan and Gerardo Tan. The goal of the exhibition is not to present an in-depth survey, but rather, to showc ase an initial effort to explore how current global art aesthetics, socio-political events, rapid communication, and technological advances have influenced art making for these seven artists. In addition, this group of artists represent a range of media and are situated at different levels in their art careers.
