Masako Miki
Midnight March On View
Masako Miki: Midnight March is an experiential world populated by semi-abstracted felted wool sculptures set within a galaxy. Referencing nature, Japanese yōkai (supernatural beings), and Shintoism, Miki creates new mythologies that reflect the complexity of multicultural identities and worlds. Miki’s practice is rooted in the belief that art can generate new, inclusive narratives to counter harmful lore. The artist seeks to bridge cultural divides and foster shared understanding.
Masako Miki: Midnight March is organized by the Institute of Contemporary Art San Francisco. The exhibition is curated by Ali Gass, ICA SF Founding Director + Chief Curator, with assistance from Meghan Smith, ICA SF LYRA Foundation Curator. Support for Midnight March is generously provided by Mia and Danny Conway; Jason Williams and Matt MacInnis; Jessica Silverman; and LYRA Art Foundation. Additional support provided by Marco and Geraldine Magarelli; Cadogan Tate; and Sherwin-Williams.
The MassArt Art Museum gratefully acknowledges the generous partnership between MAAM and ICA SF. We are delighted to have the opportunity to showcase Masako Miki: Midnight March on the East Coast. MAAM’s unique and imaginative exhibitions, events, and programs would not happen without the support of Anonymous; Natalie and Jake Lemle; The Jean Gaulin Foundation; and The Andree LeBoeuf Foundation. Thank you!
