Janice Katz, exhibition curator of the special exhibition Beyond Golden Clouds, introduces Kyoto-based artist Jiro Okura. Influenced by John Cage's ideas of chance, Okura's work pays homage to the natural materials that he uses and the natural environment from which they come. In this lecture Okura shares his philosophy and inspiration behind his 1990 screen installation, Mountain Lake Screen Tachi.
