#TBT: In 2014, DJ Spooky Meets Kevin Rudd
Each week, we'll reach into Asia Society's archives to find a photo from the organization's 60-year history. This week: A chance meeting at the 2014 opening of "Nam June Paik: Becoming Robot."
In September 2014, Asia Society in New York kicked off its exhibition Nam June Paik: Becoming Robot, which was dedicated to the late Korean-American artist Nam June Paik's progressive art that explored the relationship between technology and the body, as well as the intersection of technology and culture. For the opening of the exhibition, Asia Society commissioned a performance called "Paik Variations I-III" with American electronic and experimental hip hop musician DJ Spooky (a big fan of Paik's). In the above photo from the opening festivities, DJ Spooky meets former Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd, who was set to become the Asia Society Policy Institute's president the following February. In the below video, see clips from DJ Spooky's "Paik Variations I-III" performance. Photo by Elsa Ruiz: http://asi.as/yE2Jnx

#TBT: In 2010, Yoshitomo Nara Goes Punk
Each week for "Throwback Thursday" (#TBT), we'll reach into our archives to find a photo from the organization's nearly 60-year history. This week: A 2010 benefit gala for Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara.
On September 13, 2010, Asia Society in New York held a benefit gala for the Japanese artist Yoshitomo Nara, who is renowned for his expressive depictions of children and animals. The event coincided with the Asia Society Museum exhibition Yoshitomo Nara: Nobody’s Fool, which drew connections between his work and youth subcultures worldwide by focusing on themes of alienation and rebellion — particularly in relation to rock and punk music. In this photo from the gala, Nara (center) poses with the Japanese punk band High Teen Boogie. Photo by Elsa Ruiz: http://asi.as/bjZykP
