Curatorial Talk: Rosario Güiraldes on Guo Fengyi

In this talk, Assistant Curator Rosario Güiraldes provides an overview of Guo’s visionary drawings—which incorporate the diagrammatic, the mystical, and the wildly imaginative—and highlights works on view in the exhibition Guo Fengyi: To See from a Distance.

Guo Fengyi: To See from a Distance is the first major institutional presentation of the Chinese artist’s work in the United States. The exhibition features more than thirty works from Guo’s brief yet prolific career, including drawings executed on book and calendar pages and on cloth, as well as small- and large-scale drawings on rice-paper scrolls.

This talk was recorded on Wednesday, April 29, 2019. Subtitles are available in English and Simplified Chinese.
