  • Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor
    Otto Piene - Sun and Moon Sculptor German-born Otto Piene, a sculptor, painter, author and former director of the Center for Advanced Visual Studies at MIT, is a leading figure in kinetic and technology-based art. His works are included in nearly two hundred museums and public collections around the world including the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Walker Art Center, Minneapolis; the Nationalgalerie Berlin; the National Museum of Modern Art, Tokyo to name a few. He was commissioned to design the lights for the Senate and House Chamber in the newly designed Hawaii State Capitol. While the koa-lined House and Senate chambers of the Capitol were completed in 1969 the two chandeliers which are light sculptures called the Sun and Moon, had to wait until 1971 to be installed. The Senate’s Moon is a silver ball of 630 chambered nautilus shells, and the Sun is a gold-plated sphere with 132 smaller golden orbs in the House. Piene’s artwork evolved from “Light Ballet” in 1959 to helium-lifted sculptures as operatic characters. One of his “Sky Art” projects was the 1972 “Olympic Rainbow” for the closing ceremony of the Munich Olympic Games. Through his artwork, Piene urges us to develop and experience a world of full existence. He seeks to advance the physical, elemental and technological features of art, and not attempt to reduce it to a purely internal activity. He idealizes art as a fusion of science and imagination: “When sociology conflict was not an issue - in Egypt 5,000 years ago - art-science-technology and religion together created a magnificent world of art, belief and make believe al ‘environmental’.” 2 Art at the Capitol ~ A Celebration of the People's Art Art at the Capitol began in 2008 as Senator Brian Taniguchi’s initiative to welcome the public to view the variety of art that is displayed not just in the open areas of the State Capitol, but in the legislative offices as well.

  • Hidden History of Abstract Expressionism and Asian-American Artists Addressed in New Show at Honolulu Museum of Art
    HIDDEN HISTORY OF ABSTRACT EXPRESSIONISM AND ASIAN-AMERICAN ARTISTS ADDRESSED IN NEW SHOW AT HONOLULU MUSEUM OF ART First exhibition to explore artistic and personal relationships between artists of the New York School and artists of East Asian descent, especially those based in Hawai‘i HONOLULU, HAWAI‘I—May 18, 2017—This September, the Honolulu Museum of Art presents the first exhibition to consider mid-twentieth-century abstraction through its Asian- American practitioners, with a special focus on artists active in Hawai‘i. Abstract Expressionism: Looking East from the Far West addresses a gap in the history of Abstract Expressionism, bringing artists of the New York School together with Asian-American artists who studied and worked in New York in the 1940s and 1950s, examining the influence of Asian intellectual and artistic traditions on artists long revered as uniquely American. Conceptualized and curated by Deputy Director of Art and Programs and Curator of European and American Art Theresa Papanikolas and organized by the museum, the exhibition opens September 7, 2017 and runs through January 21, 2018. The exhibition presents major works by American masters such as Philip Guston, Willem de Kooning, Robert Motherwell, Barnett Newman, Jackson Pollock, and Mark Rothko, alongside those by Asian-American artists such as Ruth Asawa, Saburo Hasegawa, Isamu Noguchi, Isami Doi, Tadashi Sato, and Tetsuo Ochikubo, among others. With more than 45 paintings, drawings, and sculptures, the exhibition will examine the ways in which Eastern traditions from Chinese and Japanese calligraphy to Zen Buddhism helped advance Abstract Expressionism’s aesthetic agenda—its understated lyricism, its compositional balance, its subtle awareness of place— regardless of the artist.
