Opening Lecture: Isamu Noguchi—Landscapes of Time

The Isamu Noguchi Museum Foundation and Garden Museum’s Matthew Kirsch, curator and director of research, and Kate Wiener, curator, introduce Isamu Noguchi: Landscapes of Time. This exhibition explores Noguchi’s fluid relationship with time—his ability to move between past, present, and future in his art. Through sculpture, design, and public works, Noguchi engaged with geologic time, material life cycles, and memory. Kirsch and Wiener provide insight into how Noguchi’s non-linear approach shaped his work, from ancient influences to futuristic visions, offering a deeper understanding of his search for belonging beyond temporal constraints.
