A Retrospective of Artist Senga Nengudi at Dia Beacon

For over fifty years, artist Senga Nengudi has been creating with sculpture and performance using everyday materials. Born in Chicago and raised in Los Angeles, she studied in Japan and eventually settled in New York City in the 70s, where she immersed herself in a rich community of artists, including Just Above Midtown. Although she's now retired, Nengudi also dedicated her life to arts education, serving as an educator at the University of Colorado Colorado Springs in the Visual Arts and Performing Arts Department. Starting on Friday, Dia Beacon in Beacon, New York, is opening a retrospective dedicated to Nengudi's wide ranging artistic practice. Nengudi and curator Matilde Guidelli-Guidi join us to preview the exhibition.
