Though more than two decades have passed since his death, Isamu Noguchi continues to draw attention worldwide for his intriguing life and works. Ms. Masayo Duus who wrote The Life of Isamu Noguchi, Journey without Borders (Princeton University Press 2004), which was “One of Choice’s Academic Titles for 2005” and also “2005 Nonfiction Finalist for the Kiriyama Prize, Pacific Rim Voices,” based on eight years of research, describes him as a “fated border crosser.” In this program, we will invite Ms. Duus to talk about Isamu Noguchi, who crossed many “borders” and desperately sought for belonging between cultural divides such as those that lay between Japan and the United States or between sculpture and architecture, to think about the current meaning and relevance of Noguchi and his works.
