Shen Wei: STILL/MOVING

Explore the dynamic relationship between visual art and movement through the work of internationally acclaimed artist and choreographer Shen Wei (b. 1968.) This multidisciplinary exhibition features paintings, video, and choreographic studies that blend elements of traditional Chinese calligraphy and Opera with modern art influences such as Action Painting and Gutai. School tours will emphasize interdisciplinary expression—focusing on the connections between music, movement, and mark-making. Each visit includes a hands-on art activity encouraging students to experiment with brushwork, gesture, and sound.

Presented jointly with The Pocantico Center of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund. Contact us to learn about planning a two-site experience!
