"Shape Of Light" Art Exhibition
This eighth installment at KURA will showcase Lin's works centered around the theme of a 'dialogue of light' between the viewer and the artwork, exploring the fragility of perception and existence.
Influenced by the theory of spatialism, Lin Syouki has long focused on the interplay of perception, light, and space. Born in China and based in Tokyo since 2018, she merges geometric forms such as circles and squares with spontaneous abstract expression. Her latest works incorporate retroreflective materials, originally studied in 19th-century optical research and now commonly used in sportswear. These materials cause the artworks to shift in appearance based on the viewer's angle and lighting, creating a continuously evolving visual experience.

Opening Reception: May 30, 6pm–9pm
Exhibition Period: May 31 – June 14
Open Hours: 2pm – 7pm

Musical 'Hamilton' and historian Ron Chernow to receive Liberty Medal awards

(Photo by Charles Sykes/Invision/AP) The Broadway musical 'Hamilton' and the historian whose book inspired it will collect the National Constitution Center's Liberty Medal this fall, an award for efforts to spread liberty around the world. Ron Chernow and ' Hamilton ' will collect the medal and its $100,000 cash prize at an event in October on Philadelphia's Independence Mall. Award organizers credited the book and musical for having a 'singular impact' by bringing to life and spreading the story of the U.S. Constitution and Alexander Hamilton, a pivotal figure in drafting and promoting the governing document. He was also the first U.S. treasury secretary. 'Hamilton,' which debuted on Broadway a decade ago, has become a cultural touchstone, winning the Pulitzer Prize, a Grammy and 11 Tony awards. Lin-Manuel Miranda, who created the musical, called the award a deep honor. 'The Constitution is not just a historical artifact — it's a challenge. A call to participate. To speak up, to imagine better, and to work, every day, toward that more perfect union,' he said in a statement released before the formal announcement. Chernow's many books have included biographies of former presidents George Washington and Ulysses S. Grant and, more recently, of writer and humoristMark Twain. 'In writing about Hamilton, Washington, and Grant, I've come to see that liberty is not a gift passed down through generations — it's a responsibility,' Chernow said in a statement. 'One that demands courage, compromise, and commitment. These men were imperfect, but they dared to envision something greater than themselves.' The Liberty Medal was established in 1988 to honor the 200th anniversary of the U.S. Constitution's 1787 signing. Recent winners have included the late Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and PBS documentary filmmaker Ken Burns. © Copyright 2025 The Associated Press. All rights reserved.
