黑料不打烊

鈥淥ne Life: Maya Lin鈥� is the first biographical exhibition of the architect, sculptor and environmentalist. Lin, who catapulted to global prominence in 1983 for her design of the Vietnam Veterans鈥� Memorial, has spent more than four decades making work that centers on history and human rights with a particular focus on how we experience and relate to landscape. Lin describes her practice as 鈥渁 systematic ordering of the land that is tied to history, time and language.鈥� The exhibition will trace Lin from her days as a Yale student to today, presenting a range of photographs, sculptures, personal ephemera, sketchbooks, architectural models and images of her completed works. Also on view will be an element of Lin鈥檚 project 鈥淲hat Is Missing?鈥� which addresses the biodiversity crisis by inviting viewers to use a multimedia platform to share memories of natural elements that have vanished during their lifetimes. 鈥淥ne Life: Maya Lin鈥� is curated by Dorothy Moss, curator of painting and sculpture, and will be on view Sept. 30, 2022, through April 16, 2023, in the Portrait Gallery鈥檚 鈥淥ne Life鈥� gallery, newly relocated to the museum鈥檚 second floor. This is the museum鈥檚 first 鈥淥ne Life鈥� exhibition dedicated to an Asian American since the series was founded in 2006.鈥淥ne Life: Maya Lin鈥� has been made possible by the Guenther and Siewchin Yong Sommer Endowment Fund and Bloomberg Philanthropies. This project also received support from the Smithsonian Asian Pacific Americans Initiative Pool.
