Synopsis
For almost fifty years, Lydia Okumura has explored the realm of geometric abstraction. She challenges our perception of space through sculptures, installations, and works on paper that blur distinctions between dimensions. In the 1970s, a young artist in her native S o Paulo, she studied the Japanese art magazine Bijutsu Techou, which introduced her to Conceptual art, Minimalism, Land art, and Arte Povera. These movements, along with Brazilian Concretism and Neoconcretism, influenced Okumura's work. Using simple materials such as string, glass, and paint, her dynamic work balances line, plane, and shadow. Okumura's oeuvre--although reminiscent of the work of Latin American artists such as Lygia Pape and Carmen Herrera, as well as contemporaries such as Dorothea Rockburne and Robert Irwin--has remained under-recognized. She has exhibited widely in S o Paulo and is part of multiple museum collections, but she is much less known in her adopted country, the United States. "Lydia Okumura: Situations" (September 8, 2016-January 8, 2017) is the artist's first solo exhibition in the United States. Through the exhibition and catalogue, the UB Art Galleries seek to encourage a critical reassessment of Okumura's oeuvre within art history. The catalogue includes an essay on Okumura and her work, by curator Rachel Adams; an account of vanguardism in Brazilian art from 1960 to 1975, by art historian Mari Rodriguez Binnie; a conversation between Adams and Okumura; and extensive photo documentation of Okumura's work from the 1970s until today. Copublished with UB Art Galleries Contributors Rachel Adams, Sandra H. Olsen, Mari Rodriguez Binnie; interview with Lydia Okumura, For almost 50 years, Brazilian-born New Yorkbased artist Lydia Okumura (b. 1948), like her contemporaries Dorothea Rockburne and Robert Irwin, has explored the realm of geometric abstraction by challenging our perception of space in her sculptures, installations and works on paper. In the 1970s, as a young artist in her native So Paulo, she was introduced to Conceptual art, Minimalism, Land Art and Arte Povera through the Japanese art magazine Bijutsu Techou. These movements, along with Brazilian Concretism and Neoconcretism influenced Okumuras dynamic work in which she uses simple materials such as string, glass and paint to balance line, plane and shadow. The elegant exhibition catalog accompanying the artists first solo exhibition in the United States at the University of Buffalo Art Gallery, is a rich document of her minimal practice and independent vision. Included is an account of the Brazilian avant-garde from 1960 to 1975, an artist interview by curator Rachel Adams, and extensive photo documentation of Okumuras work from 1970 to the present.
