Born (1949) and reared in the Santa Clara valley, CA, Bruce Yonemoto has
witnessed the destruction of that valley and its reemergence as Silicon
Valley, a center of computer technology in America. Like most children of
his baby-boom generation, he experienced much of the world through the media:
television, Hollywood movies, photographs, and comic books. Working with
screens, monitors, imagery, objects, and ideas from video, film, television,
and popular culture, Yonemoto examines recurring themes of memory, the construction
of identity, and his third-generation Japanese-American heritage. Yonemoto
was an artist in residence. This is his first solo museum exhibition in
the Midwest. |
