Artist Asagi Maeda will give a presentation and take part in a question-and-answer session at Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts, on October 3. The program, titled ‘Artist Talk: Asagi Maeda,’ is scheduled for 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and accompanies the museum’s presentation of ‘Stories on the Planet: Asagi Maeda,’ in which Maeda’s work is currently on view.
The discussion will be moderated by Beth McLaughlin, Fuller Craft Museum’s chief curator and artistic director. The museum describes the program as open to all ages and recommends registration. It is listed among the institution’s public programs, alongside exhibitions, classes, school tours and other visitor activities.
The event will also include a silent auction of one of Maeda’s Bento Box jewelry sets. Additional activities are a book signing and a trunk show featuring Maeda’s work through Mobilia Gallery. The program’s listing does not specify the title or subject of the book, nor does it provide further details about the jewelry set included in the auction.
Fuller Craft Museum is located at 455 Oak Street in Brockton. Its published visitor information lists regular hours as Tuesday through Sunday, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.; the museum is closed on Mondays and on several major holidays. Admission is by donation. The institution’s website identifies the Maeda presentation as a museum public program and says it is supported by grants from local cultural councils, which receive support from the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.
The talk offers a public setting for Maeda to discuss work presented in ‘Stories on the Planet: Asagi Maeda,’ while the auction, signing and gallery trunk show extend the program into collecting and direct engagement with the artist’s jewelry. The available exhibition listing confirms that Maeda’s work is on view but does not provide a checklist, exhibition dates, curatorial statement or biographical information about the artist.
‘Artist Talk: Asagi Maeda’ will take place Saturday, October 3, from 11 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., at Fuller Craft Museum, 455 Oak Street, Brockton, Massachusetts. Registration is recommended.
