    Art After Dark

    $18, free for members

    In celebration of the exhibitions Zarina: Paper Like Skin, Gutai: Splendid Playground, and No Country: Contemporary Art for South and Southeast Asia—the inaugural Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative exhibition—the next Art After Dark event will take place from 9 pm–midnight on Friday, March 8. Enjoy a private view of all exhibitions on view.

    Renowned improvisational dressmaker and performer Shinbun Onna (Newspaper Woman, a.k.a. Miyuki Nishizawa) will choose the playlist and perform. Nishizawa is a student of Gutai exhibition artists Shimamoto Shōzō and Yoshihara Jirō. Known for creating large-scale works out of discarded newspaper and a fashion designer by trade, she crafts wearable creations—such as a five-story-tall dress that she has donned while suspended from a crane—that challenge scale and function. Nishizawa has performed in Italy, the Ukraine, and Pennsylvania. She appears thanks to FUSE art infrastructure, Allentown, PA.

    Proudly supported by Beck’s Sapphire.
