UCLA Department of Art Lecture: Anna Sew Hoy
Copresented by the UCLA Department of Art
Los Angeles based artist Anna Sew Hoy exerts pressures of perception, language, and feeling onto the externalized body and psychic figurations of the self. She was awarded a Creative Capital Grant for Visual Art to support Psychic Body Grotto, her largest public sculpture to date installed at the Los Angeles State Historic Park. A 2022 Guggenheim Fellow, Sew Hoy is Associate Professor and Ceramics Area Head at University of California, Los Angeles and her work is in the collections of the Hammer Museum, the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Art in San Diego.
