Leo Rubinfien
This solo exhibition, Leo Rubinfien’s second with the gallery, will feature 17 color photographs selected from his series “A Map of the East,” which he made in Japan and other parts of Asia between 1980 and 1987. Born in 1953 in Chicago, Rubinfien accompanied his parents to Japan during its period of rapid economic growth, and spent many years here. He returned in 1979 and was drawn, out of his early experiences, to the East as a photographic subject. From 1980 he traveled not only to Japan but also to China, Thailand, Indonesia, Myanmar, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In “A Map of the East,” he explored what it means to see the world through one’s memories and aimed to capture, from the perspective of a Western intruder, the “innocence” that he felt was a uniquely Asian characteristic and that was also being quickly transformed.
