Founded and designed by Isamu Noguchi (1904-1988), and an international hub for the appreciation of his art and enduring influence. Queens, NYC.
Exploring the World of the One-Mat Room
In conjunction with Miwako Kurashima’s exhibition ‘* folding cosmos’ at The Noguchi Museum (October 16-November 17, 2024), Dr. Henry Smith (Professor Emeritus, Columbia University) presents a Zoom lecture on the “One-Mat Room,” a small study space created by the nineteenth-century Japanese explorer Takeshirō Matsuura (1818-1888).
Constructed from wood collected by far-flung friends at important sites throughout Japan, the One-Mat Room became a kind of map of Matsuura’s social network and locations that held meaning for the explorer and those he knew-a collapse of accumulated knowledge and experience into a single charged space. It has also served as a profound source of inspiration for Kurashima’s roving and mutable installation ‘* folding cosmos.’ Smith explores the fascinating history and lasting significance of this important space.
This talk was presented on October 17, 2024.

Tour of The Noguchi Museum: Area 14
I just assembled Akari 1A by myself using only two hands. It was the hardest thing I've ever done in my life (I haven't had a very hard life).
😭 ok why does he need to mention all that about the 9/11 anniversary like it had nothing to do with the story 😭😭😭
56:00 i think he was asking what takashiro was inspired by......
Shame on your administration for firing Noguchi employees for wearing a kaffiyeh. That's an assault on Freedom of Expression and really does not align with the values your exhibits try to teach. What's the point of firing staff for their First Amendment rights? Free our Constitution, and don't be a hypocrite. Rehire your staff!!
Nope
wtf...
Awesome! Love his work.
Congratulations!
Incredible artist
Pittsburgh LEGEND!
you cant beat Christopher Bailey.. he made burberry cool... so sad
burberry is tisci's graveyard... he put nooses on the models..took the font of Thomas Burberrys grave stone and made it the brand logo... dark shit. he killed it
"Uptalking arts professional" is an oxymoron. Yet that apparently is passes as acceptable these days.
"I made them mine and I made them sculpture".How insufferably arrogant. Noguchi was merely an artist. Hamada Shoji was way, way beyond that. Like the Lotus flower that rises up to bloom, utterly resplendent from the mud and mediocrity all around it.
Hamada Shōji was a potter and ceramist. Noguchi was a sculptor but he created gardens, furniture and lighting designs, architectural works, landscapes and set designs. Two different worlds. Also that quote reflects on found objects of art which has a long tradition in western art (like Marchel Duchamp) but also in japanese traditions (like the rocks in a zen garden).
@@zoltangalla2863 well put.
Funny to hear a highly intelligent museum employee speaking with the rising pitch at end of sentence where it makes his statements seems like a question. Appears unconfident and unsure of himself. Anyway, Isamu is a hero to me and I attended the opening of his museum in LIC. When he appeared everyone clapped enthusiastically. What a genius.
This guy is the bomb. Loved him from the time he did art for Uncle ablum cover. What a COOL guy.

This is just a DIY aproach, horrible "quite unique" hahaha

Beautiful!
Beautiful work.
Hello, can you tell me if this lamp can be safely used in the US or will I need a converter? Thx!
Hello! If you are in North America and purchase an Akari from The Noguchi Museum, it will be wired for use with 120 Volt electrical systems; appropriate for use in the US. If you are outside of the United States you will need to use a voltage converter. shop.noguchi.org/pages/faqs
@@TheNoguchiMuseum Thank you. I have a lamp on hold at the Ozeki showroom. Not sure how long the wait is for restocking at The Noguchi Museum.. I have a problem with instant gratification, lol. If you know the wait time that would be helpful :)
Amazing work, thank you for allowing me to discover this amazing work

Wow, those designs are really good

Fascinating video. Liked and Subscribed!
Good thing Isamu was cremated coase if he will see this he will turn in his grave.Isamu never sign autographs.He was very strict about this.
I have pictures that I have taken there with the beginning of the garden including the digging from 40 so years ago.I kept them to myself and they never been published .They are pices of Isamu history.

Have admired and Loved Daniel Brush's work for well over 30 years now. He is a true master and genius of his art.
He really fucked them up🤨
Did you have contact ? I want to contact with you
I dismantled my Noguchi tabletop when I moved and no amount of instructions have helped me to get it back together. So sad. I love these light sculptures and would love to have more.
Great intro to this talented conscientious artist, good luck on the exhibit!
ρɾσɱσʂɱ 😚
wow. beautiful work
I have seen some models that have a thread you pull to light it up, while others (like this one) have a switch you rotate at the base. Is it optional or do you know why it varies?
some say he's still staring at that light to this day
