Hans Ulrich Obrist and Michael Armitage in conversation at the Chiesetta della Misericordia

On September 28, the Asian Art Initiative of the Guggenheim Museum will present 'The Choice of Realism,' a conversation between artist Michael Armitage and critic Hans Ulrich Obrist, at the Chiesetta della Misericordia in Venice.

In this next event in the public programme for Yu Hong's Venice exhibition 'Another One Bites the Dust', Obrist and Armitage will discuss Yu Hong’s paintings depicting the arc of the human experience—birth, life, desire, sex, and death—in the context of new explorations of the figure, contemporary perceptions of the real, and the voracious appropriation of world art to forge a new language of painting today.

September 28, 2024 at 5pm.

The event is free and open to the public, but seating is limited. Reserve your space via rsvp@yuhongvenice.com
