Midori Yoshimoto, New Jersey City University
Midori Yoshimoto is associate professor of art history and gallery director at New Jersey City University. Yoshimoto’s areas of expertise are post-1945 Japanese art and its diaspora, with a particular emphasis on women artists, Fluxus, and intermedia art. Her 2005 book, Into Performance: Japanese Women Artists in New York, led to numerous museum catalogs, including: Japanese Women Artists in Avant-garde Movements (Tochigi Prefectural Museum of Art, 2005); Dissonance: Six Japanese Women Artists (Toyota Museum of Art, 2008); Yayoi Kusama (Centre Pompidou, 2011); Ay-O Over the Rainbow Once Again (The Museum of Contemporary Art, Tokyo, 2012); Gutai: Splendid Playground (Guggenheim Museum, 2013); and Yoko Ono One Woman Show (MoMA, 2015). Recently, Bloomsbury published Yoshimoto’s co-edited book, Women, Aging, and Art: A Crosscultural Anthology. Her co-curated major survey of Japanese American video artist, Shigeko Kubota, is traveling three museums in Japan throughout 2021-22.
