Into View: Bernice Bing celebrates the Asian Art Museum’s recent acquisition of 20 paintings and works on paper that shine a light on an important local Asian American artist who has only recently gained broad recognition for her achievements. In collaboration with the Asian American Women Artists Association, Chinese Culture Center, and Kearny Street Workshop, the museum is organizing an open call installation of media and literary work, scheduled for early 2023.

Prompt: Modern and contemporary art was deeply influenced by art in Asia, including landscape, calligraphy, abstraction, and minimalism. In tribute to the Bernice Bing exhibition and collection at the Asian Art Museum, we ask media artists and writers: what is contemporary art through a lens of Asian and Asian American art and cultures?
