Into the Fog with Fujiko Nakaya

Renowned artist Fujiko Nakaya, known for her pioneering use of fog as a sculptural medium and for being the first artist to create a sculptural fog environment, is joined by Henry Urbach, Director of the Glass House, to discuss the artist’s current project, Fujiko Nakaya: Veil, on view at the Glass House (May 1 – November 30). Nakaya also discusses her fascination with and motivations for exploring an everyday weather phenomenon in her body of work, which includes fog gardens, falls, geysers and the enshrouding of the Pepsi Pavilion at the 1970 World Exposition in Osaka. Urbach considers the dynamic and participatory aspect of this anti-architectural medium, which transforms, distorts, and conceals its surroundings. Moderated by Julie Martin, Experiments in Art and Technology (E.A.T.).
