Episode 19 visits Japan and speaks with Mami Kataoka, director of Tokyo’s Mori Art Museum, a space dedicated to contemporary art and architecture. Part of the founding team, Mami has earned international renown for her curatorial approach, teaching and writing. She’s been consistently listed in ArtReview’s Power 100 and was the first Asian curator to direct Sydney’s Biennale in 2018. Last year saw her open the Aichi Triennale, one of Japan’s largest international art events. Mami joined me from her office in Tokyo to discuss her impressive work and the concept of ‘Asian’ art.  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
