Contemporary Photography in Japan
Kala is pleased to present a talk by photography critic and curator Mika Kobayshi on Tuesday, September 23rd at 7:00 pm. Ms. Kobayashi is currently a Patterson Curatorial Fellow at SFMOMA. She is working in the Bay Area on a research project that focuses on works by Japanese photographers in SFMOMA’s permanent collection. One of Ms. Kobayshi’s recent curatorial projects, “Heavy Light: Recent Photography and Video from Japan”, was presented at International Center for Photography in New York. She also garnered much attention for “Comical & Cynical”, an exhibition of contemporary Japanese photography that was presented in an indoor swimming pool in Osaka. Ms. Kobayashi will be presenting a lecture about Post-War Japanese photography at SFMOMA in September. Please join us for a special evening with Mika Kobayashi. As always, the Kala Gallery talks are free-of-charge and open to the public. We hope to see you there.
