Dr. Reiko Tomii is an independent scholar and co-director of PoNJA-GenKon. The lecture is based on her latest publication, Radicalism in the Wilderness: International Contemporaneity and 1960s Art in Japan (MIT Press, April 2016). Dr. Tomii will outline two basic concepts: "wilderness" and "contemporaneity" as key methodological frameworks to construct local and global art histories.
The lecture is free and open to the pubic. It is sponsored by the Department of Art History, Tyler School of Art; Asia Studies; Temple University and the Undergraduate General Activities Fund (GAF).
