Fergus McCaffrey launches the third edition of FM Forward with Richard Serra in Japan
June 21, 2020
In conjunction with Richard Serra: Drawings at Fergus McCaffrey Tokyo, the gallery presents the third edition of FM Forward, a digital platform for cultivating insightful connections between artists, their pivotal artworks, and the community.
Richard Serra: Drawings marks the artist's first exhibition in Japan in nearly two decades and the fulfilment of the gallery's mission to re-contextualize his work in the country that, in his own words, "defined his way of seeing." To commemorate this occasion, Fergus McCaffrey presents a short film in which Serra describes the profound influence Japanese aesthetics have had upon his practice.
Gray hosts a poetry reading by Jim Dine
June 20, 2020
On 20 June, the gallery hosted a poetry reading by Jim Dine, live from his studio. The American artist rose to prominence in late-1950’s New York. He played a key role in creating the first “Happenings” and thereafter was closely associated with the Pop Art movement. His diverse body of work defies such easy categorization, however, as it is also understood as seminal to Neo-Dada and Neo-Expressionism. An innovator throughout his long career, Dine is first and foremost known as a visual artist, yet he has accompanied his vast career with an extensive body of poetry that is driven by the same energy that powers his painting and sculptures.
