About the event

Forget Yourself and Become One with Nature!: Lecture with Alexandra Munroe
LOCATION: Edith and Peter O'Donnell Jr. Athenaeum, 777 Loop Road SW, Richardson, TX 75080

Through a collaboration with the Crow Museum of Asian Art, the Center for Asian Studies at UT Dallas | the Carmen R. & Joseph G. Schneidler Lecture on Pan-Asian Culture, the DMA is proud to present Dr. Alexandra Munroe.

In conjunction with the exhibition Return to Infinity: Yayoi Kusama, on view at the DMA, Dr. Alexandra Munroe, the Senior Curator at Large, Global Arts, at the Guggenheim Museum and prominent Kusama scholar, will present a new lecture at the Crow Museum of Asian Art on the UT Dallas campus.

Since her earliest drawings of flowers, Kusama has been fixated on what she calls the “forever” aspect of nature, a kind of “mysterious energy or feeling in the infinity.” This vision of cosmic nature has driven her obsessive creativity over the last seven decades of art making, culminating in the DMA’s immersive Pumpkin Infinity Room installation. In this talk, Munroe discusses Kusama’s use of nature as a radical integration of art, science, and mysticism. She poses that Kusama’s self-described shamanism expresses an ecofeminist and panpsychic world view—the idea that the universe is conscious and everything in it, from quarks to plants to humans to stars, is vitally interconnected.
