VANCOUVER x TOKYO Exchange

The Tokyo x Vancouver exchange opened last weekend at El Kartel (Vancouver) and Amp (Tokyo) simultaneously and was live-streamed through out the night. The hanging was enjoyable having grouped each country separately on opposite walls facing eachother. Big thanks to Mr. Taka Sudo for curating and organizing the whole shebang!

Installation at Positive Negative Gallery

Got back from SF with a big project pending. I had signed up for an installation project at a local gallery Positive Negative. The idea is a group of 8 paint on giant stratched canvas and the public would be able to choose what they wanted (crop) It was pretty last minute for me so I decided to do one big thing rather than a bunch of smaller shits that would take loads of time. It's untitled at this point, but maybe I'll come up with something clever soon.

'Black Circle' for 'Mashup Show' at Gauntlet Gallery

I'm generally not into theme shows but I was swayed this time. Gauntlet's a new gallery open in the Tenderloin District is SF. In order to get some momentum with the space, he's putting on some large group exhibits to plant some interest in a diverse collector demographic. The invitation to show the show detailed that the theme would be 'your interpretation of a famous piece of artwork'. I wanted to choose something so far removed from figurative painting, so I chose Suprematist painter, Kasimir Malevich and his 'Black Circle' piece (it kind of ended up being the antithesis of the original).
