Writing Without Words: Artist Talk with Michiko Itatani

Join us for a virtual artist talk with Chicago-based painter, Michiko Itatani who has spent the better half of a century crafting a visual language which captures humanity’s place suspended between the quantum and cosmic realms. In her lecture Writing Without Words Itatani connects the history and influences of her practice and pedagogy which have layered over time into a rich lexicon of personal codes. Michiko Itatani is Professor Emeritus at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago (AIC), where she has taught for 40 years. Her work is represented in the permanent collections of public museums around the world, including the Art Institute of Chicago, Illinois; Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art (MACBA), Spain; National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art, Seoul, Korea; Olympic Museum, Lausanne, Switzerland; and the U.S. Embassy Brasilia, Brazil, among many others.
