"City of Others: Asian Artists in Paris, 1920s–1940s" is a groundbreaking exhibition that examines the art history of Paris from Asian perspectives. The exhibition compares the experiences of Asian artists in Paris during a dynamic period of time, featuring works by Asian artists like Foujita Tsuguharu, Georgette Chen, Lê Phổ, Liu Kang, Pai Un-soung, Itakulla Kanae and Hamanaka Katsu. These artists met people from different cultures (cultural “others”) and were seen as outsiders (“others”) themselves, leading to vibrant exchanges of aesthetics and ideas.
Led by exhibition curators Phoebe Scott and Teo Hui Min, this special tour will delve into Asian art in Paris during the dynamic era of artistic migration before World War II. Gain insight into the exhibition and explore the cultural exchanges that shaped the living experiences of modern Asian artists in Europe.
