Pace Live is pleased to present “Dip, Draw, Drag,” a conversation between artist Maysha Mohamedi, Yasuhide Shimbata, who is Chief Curator of Tokyo’s Artizon Museum, and Pace CEO Marc Glimcher, on September 6.

Coinciding with the opening of Mohamedi’s first-ever solo exhibition in Japan—on view at Pace Tokyo from September 6 to October 19—this event will center on the artist’s new, never-before-exhibited paintings, which shed light on one of the hallmarks of her practice: her use of abstraction to forge a patchwork of stories and scenes from her daily life and interpersonal relationships. For the works in her upcoming show in Tokyo—titled Maysha Mohamedi: yesterday I was a tiny tube of toothpaste—Mohamedi drew inspiration from her diary chronicling her brief time working in Japan two decades ago. This 30-minute talk will offer a unique perspective on the subtle mysteries at the core of each of her works.

“Dip, Draw, Drag” is organized by Pace Live, the gallery’s interdisciplinary platform for live art performances, musical acts, and other events— to RSVP, reach out to pacetokyo@pacegallery.com.

Maysha Mohamedi

Vibrant and playful, Maysha Mohamedi’s innovative practice points toward a new mode of atmospheric abstraction that registers certain conditions specific to Los Angeles—and American life as a whole—in the early 21st century. Reflecting her personal history, everyday experiences, and key constellations in her own cultural matrix, her palette is both purely abstract and directly connected to the patchwork of landscapes, objects, and environments that comprise her life.
